According to Brake, such acts are primarily aimed at ‘destroying the connectivity of our societies’. One way to counter such acts of sabotage is to strengthen our own operational capability. This could be achieved by strengthening the navy and civilian law enforcement agencies as well as harmonizing and improved cooperating with existing operational authorities.
