Masterarbeit (M.Sc.) im Studiengang IT-Sicherheit von Luca Roth: Submarine Cable Landing Stations: An Analysis of Information Security Threats, Vulnerabilities and Defences

Abstract: Cable landing stations (CLS) are facilities that host components required for the operation of subsea data cables (SDC) and facilitate their interconnection with terrestrial networks. SDC have an essential role for the secure operation of internet communication. However, as existing work focusing on information security specifically for CLS is sparsely available and often outdated, there is a need for new coordinated efforts in order to evaluate and improve their protection. This thesis fills a research gap in this regard, by presenting how CLS and SDC can generally be impacted by different information security threats and how the industry is prepared to counter them. For this, attack vectors, threat actors as well as the protection level of CLS are identified and set in relation to each other. The analysis shows that multiple actors have the motivation and resources to harm information security of CLS. In regard of their protection standards, a great variation is noticeable. Especially considering physical protection, some facilities have significant weaknesses. Furthermore, the analysis shows that information security highly depends on the selection of the architecture as well as other aspects of physical and logical CLS components.
