Critical Infrastructure The Geopolitical Severance: Insurance Coverage Gaps in Subsea Cable Protection Tech consortiums celebrate multi-terabit subsea cable deployments. However, enterprise risk managers rarely address the fine print in maritime indemnity when physical outages occur in contested international waters. The Anchor Drag Fallacy and War Exclusions General telecom news attributes undersea fiber disruptions to accidental commercial fishing anchor drags.

However, underwriters are quietly exploiting jurisdictional limits to deny corporate injury claims.

What they systematically omit is the rigid physical boundary of General Liability policies. If a remote worker experiences a physical or cybersecurity incident while operating from an unregistered domestic ZIP code or an international co-working space, insurers often reject the claim by citing geographical policy exclusions. 🔍 Proactive Policy Verification Do not assume your commercial package is universally ...
