確保海纜安全 美軍擴大太平洋網路防禦部署

Quick Look

美國太平洋司令部在夏威夷成立區域中心並擴大網路安全部署,以應對太平洋地區關鍵海底電纜面臨的潛在威脅。此舉旨在加強軍事通訊網監控,防範惡意網路活動及海纜受損風險。

Why It Matters

美中經濟暨安全檢討委員會報告指出,中國發展破壞海底電纜能力,且連接美國本土與夏威夷、關島的線路因替代選項少而脆弱。

在美國警告中國正鎖定太平洋地區關鍵海底電纜網,並對海纜安全表達憂心之際,美國太平洋司令部擴大在夏威夷的網路安全部署,並成立區域中心,加強防範對此區域通訊電纜網的威脅和破壞。

南華早報6日報導,美國太平洋司令部指揮、控制、通信、電腦與網路事務主管史密斯准將(Michael Smith)上週表示,已依名為「太平洋網路防禦部隊」(Cyber Defence Forces Pacific)倡議,從馬里蘭調派人員到夏威夷,「為此戰區提供額外一層網路安全防禦」。這些人員被指派到美國國防資訊系統局(DISA)太平洋分部,但是具體人數未公開。

此外,DISA太平洋分部上月也成立區域中心,監控軍事通訊網,辨識各種可能影響在太平洋地區行動的海底纜線受損、電磁頻譜問題,以及源自美國但波及此區域的通訊中斷等。不過,這些措施並未明確與中國掛勾。

大多數洲際網路數據都經由海底電纜傳輸,這些纜線受損可能導致通訊中斷,或者迫使數據轉向替代路線傳輸。這些海纜也可能成為敵對勢力鎖定的目標,企圖接入纜線以攔截資訊。美國國會轄下「美中經濟暨安全檢討委員會」(USCC)9月發表研究報告警告,中國已在發展破壞關鍵海纜的能力,連接美國本土和夏威夷、關島的海纜線路因替代選項有限,格外脆弱。

國防資訊系統局太平洋分部指揮官拉德(Michael Hlad)表示,去年一份評估發現,美軍既有部署「未處於必要的適當態勢」以因應區域需求,新設的區域中心將把該分部人力增加約20%。他指出,太平洋網路防禦部隊倡議已在日前進行的美日「利刃」(Keen Edge)聯合指揮所軍演測試,兩國防長也同意加強合作,防範「惡意網路活動」,強化協調太平洋軍事活動所需的通訊能力。

Open Questions

  • 具體調派至夏威夷的網路防禦人員數量為何?
  • 未來是否會有更多針對海纜保護的具體軍事合作?
