At the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference (MSC), Declan Ganley, CEO of Rivada Space Networks, provided a hard-hitting reality check on Europe’s security landscape, addressing emerging threats and the urgent need for action.
🔹 The Reality of Global Security MSC isn’t about desired states—it’s about what’s really happening. It’s a stage where critical messages are delivered to those in power.
🔹 The Growing Threat to Subsea Cables Ganley highlighted recent cable cuts as gray zone attacks, probing response times and vulnerabilities. He emphasized Rivada’s OuterNet as a secure alternative data path to protect global connectivity.
🔹 Rivada’s U.S. Navy Partnership & Europe’s Lag
💡 The U.S. Navy moves swiftly as a sophisticated customer, while Europe’s slow decision-making hinders its defense capabilities.
💡 Ganley urged faster action & stronger security investments to close the gap.
🔹 Europe’s Urgent Wake-Up Call Ganley noted a sharper focus on security at MSC 2025, but the message was clear—Europe must step up. Future security depends on smart investments in resilient technologies.
📢 The stakes are high, and the time to act is now.
