There is little that can be done to actually protect undersea cables. However, as they cables come on shore they are more heavily armored with steel outer layers than the portions that are deep under the sea.
Large international cable operators expect that cables will be damaged from things like ship anchors, landslides and earthquakes. To protect against these things they install redundant cables on entire different routes. In the event of a failure the undamaged cable carries all of the traffic until repairs are made to the damaged section.
It should be noted that a number of smaller cable systems do not have redundant paths and will therefor be down until repairs are made.

They did it that way because submarine cable is so expensive.
