The administrative attack surface

A realistic intelligence-analysis workspace visualising a Dutch infrastructure dependency correlation system called “S.O.S.”. Large geospatial maps of the Netherlands cover transparent layered screens showing military radar sites, fuel pipelines, substations, rail infrastructure, utility corridors, and defence facilities connected through glowing graph relationships.

Entirely Dutch context but likely similar elsewhere in Europe.

The risk is not that any one publication exposes a secret. None does. The risk is what a few weeks of patient cross-reading turn that publication regime into.

A targeting picture for a foreign service, search narrowing for a sabotage planner, and queue ordering for a pre-conflict state.

Collection is expensive and sometimes detectable. Correlation is cheap, legal, and increasingly automated. The SOS proof-of-concept sketches how short the runway between an analyst and a running pipeline has become.

That is why this section exists. The cases walk three real installations through the same logic, so the conversation about what to do can start from what the publication regime hands over, rather than from a reflex about transparency.
