Norway has announced it’s going to bolster security around vulnerable undersea fiber optic cables that are critical to the country’s oil and gas production after the recent explosions of the Nord Stream pipelines were found to be an act of sabotage.

Norway’s communications regulator Nkom said on Nov. 29 that it will allocate an additional $4.4 million for new technology that will help monitor key stretches of submarine fiber cable and identify potential threats.
