NATO has formalised plans for a shared satellite network to strengthen military communications, surveillance and missile tracking. The alliance unveiled the HALO project at a NATO summit defence industry forum in Ankara, involving Denmark, Canada, Finland, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden and Turkey. HALO aims to link national satellite systems into a single framework while countries keep ownership and control. NATO says existing dispersed networks are vulnerable and too slow for large data.

As over-the-air software updates spread rapidly in the auto industry, concerns are rising that vehicle systems could become more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Experts call for stronger security checks and policy intervention. OTA adoption is also prompting new security worries tied to transport infrastructure. Some warn of risks beyond data privacy, including potential interference with vehicles in motion. Tests by a Norwegian bus operator found a possible OTA-related access path into control systems.
