When Every Second Counts: Why the world needs a new last-resort nuclear hotline like CATALINK

Narrated by Rose Gottemoeller, former NATO Deputy Secretary General and U.S. Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, "When Every Second Counts" delivers a stark warning: the communication channels the world has relied on since the Cold War are more fragile than we might think. As nuclear weapons dominate the headlines once again, the video urges the global community to pay attention to the rising risk of nuclear catastrophe. Current crisis communication systems are limited and aging. In an age of cyber attacks, counterspace weapons, and AI-generated deepfakes, there is no guarantee that traditional hotlines will function when needed most. Furthermore, there is currently no established mechanism for multiple nuclear-armed leaders to coordinate jointly during a crisis. The video introduces CATALINK, a groundbreaking initiative being developed by the non-profit Institute for Security and Technology. CATALINK offers a blueprint for a dedicated, last-resort communication system designed to be the ultimate backstop against nuclear escalation. Built on open-source principles to encourage transparency and trust among nations, CATALINK represents a necessary evolution in international security infrastructure. The Institute for Security and Technology gratefully acknowledges the generous support of the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs and the German Federal Foreign Office, whose funding made this project possible. Thank you to IST CEO Philip Reiner for his support of the challenging yet worthy cause of making nuclear crisis communications safe and secure. Learn more: https://securityandtechnology.org/cat...
