Protecting Critical Maritime Infrastructure: A Multi-Domain Approach to Maritime Security Governance

Su Wai Mon

CIL Research Fellow Su Wai Mon published a commentary entitled “Protecting Critical Maritime Infrastructure: A Multi-Domain Approach to Maritime Security Governance”. This commentary examines how emerging threats across physical, cyber, undersea, and space domains are creating unprecedented risks to critical maritime infrastructure. It argues that proactive and coordinated action by industry, regulators, and governments, supported by coherent legal and regulatory frameworks, is essential to strengthening resilience. While the analysis has global relevance, the piece highlights Southeast Asia and the Indo-Pacific as a strategic case study, demonstrating the urgent need for integrated, multi-domain, and regional cooperation to tackle evolving maritime security challenges.
