The continent is facing an unprecedented level of "relentless" military espionage and increased cyber sabotage at the hands of authoritarian regimes, according to a high-ranking intelligence director. This growing threat has significant implications for global security, undermining trust in institutions and compromising critical infrastructure. Intelligence agencies must be equipped to counter these tactics effectively, while also being held accountable for their actions. International cooperation and diplomacy are essential in addressing this global challenge, requiring collective efforts to share intelligence, coordinate responses, and impose consequences on those responsible. Effective action is crucial to mitigating the effects of these threats.
