SES, a space solutions company, today announced it will deploy meoSphere, a next-generation medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellite network targeted for operation by 2030 and designed to significantly boost the company’s MEO network capacity.

 

The program launches with a close collaboration designed for efficient satellite production. SES will pair its own software-defined payloads, being developed and manufactured in Luxembourg, with an initial 28 high-power satellite platforms developed by K2 Space, representing the first phase of the broader meoSphere rollout. The collaboration gives SES tighter control over key supply-chain elements, compresses the build timeline, and allows the company to manage schedules and costs with precision, laying the foundation for future scalability.

 

 

meoSphere is SES’s next generation MEO network, significantly boosting global broadband capacity, increasing user data speeds while reducing terminal sizes and costs. These step-change improvements come from advances in payload and terminal technologies, software-defined networking, 5G non-terrestrial network (5G NTN) standards and MEO’s inherent strengths: efficient geographic coverage, ability to steer capacity to the high-demand areas, optimizing ground-station deployment, and low latency. The network is designed to meet growing demand for secure, stable, reliable, and resilient connectivity across government, mobility, and fixed telecommunications markets. The meoSphere network will be compatible with Europe’s IRIS² program.

 

 

Orbiting at about 8,000 kilometers above Earth, SES is designing meoSphere for adaptability across new missions, new use cases, and new customer segments. Beyond its core broadband mission, the network’s flexible architecture will support multiple missions simultaneously, including integration with sovereign networks, serving governments and other customers that require sovereign solutions. meoSphere will also support the growing space economy, functioning as a space-based host for customer payloads and as a “backbone network in space” that enables interconnections between constellations in all orbits to relay data to each other and to the ground in real time.

 

 

“Space is the invisible backbone of the global data economy and national security,” said Adel Al-Saleh, CEO of SES. “Together with K2 Space and other space partners, we’re building meoSphere as essential infrastructure—constructed faster, designed to handle massive data demands globally, and built to support the secure, resilient sovereign networks that our global government allies depend on.”

 

 

“The meoSphere partnership with SES is a clear validation of K2’s mission to build the highest power satellites on orbit to realize our partners’ and customers’ ambitions in space,” said Karan Kunjur, Co-Founder and CEO of K2 Space. “We’re incredibly proud to partner in this effort with SES, a longstanding and forward-leaning space industry leader who shares our commitment to building new, efficient space architectures at speed and scale.”

 

 

Over the next three years, SES plans to launch a series of MEO “pathfinder” missions with K2 Space to test and validate the satellite bus and SES payload components in orbit, refine operational concepts, and reduce risk ahead of full-scale deployment. Each mission will carry progressively greater payload complexity, incorporating lessons learned from earlier flights into the development cycle.

 

 

This announcement builds on SES’s collaboration with K2 to develop a next generation MEO network. This initiative is included in the company’s previously-announced capital expenditure guidance for full-year 2026 and is expected to conform to SES’s financial policy of disciplined capital deployment. The company is committed to using a disciplined mix of commercial and public-private approaches to mitigate financial risk. In addition, SES intends to maintain a dual supply chain across the Atlantic to strengthen resilience against potential constraints in parts availability, permitting, and logistics.

 

 

Designed for continuity, built for confidence

 

 

meoSphere is engineered for customers whose operations cannot afford uncertainty — where connectivity failures have real-world consequences and performance must be guaranteed.

 

 

For government and defense customers, that means command-and-control communications that are resilient in contested environments. MEO’s orbital geometry offers inherent resilience: a smaller number of widely-spaced satellites presents a fundamentally different threat profile than dense low-orbit constellations, while the network’s transparent payload architecture allows sovereign customers to operate their own waveforms and modems including in the “military Ka-Band” spectrum range, preserving the security and independence that classified and sensitive missions require. Space-based routings via optical intersatellite links (OISLs) ensure traffic always lands in secure gateways.

 

 

For mobility customers in aviation and maritime, meoSphere will deliver fiber-equivalent throughput to support passenger connectivity, crew communications, and operational systems, simultaneously across ocean routes where coverage gaps are not an option. For commercial aviation, its combination of high throughput and low latency is built to perform at scale. meoSphere’s flexible design will enable SES to offer mobility clients multi-orbit solutions in combination with LEO and GEO.

 

 

For telecommunications operators and enterprises, meoSphere will offer a high-performance connectivity layer based on a 5G-NTN network suited to customers seeking path diversity and extended network reach.

 

 

How meoSphere is built: architecture and the K2 Space platform

 

 

meoSphere is a multi-mission space network built for government and commercial customers that require a high degree of security, control, reliability and resilience.

 

 

The architecture is optimized to take advantage of inherent strengths of the payload and bus: the high-power K2 Space satellite bus, which handles power, propulsion, flight control, and other foundational platform systems; and the digital regenerative SES payload, which carries the mission equipment—radios, processors, and antennas—to connect users and networks on the ground. By developing payloads and related software in-house, SES can apply repeatable design and test methods to accelerate batch production and maintain direct oversight of the performance characteristics that matter most to customers.

 

 

meoSphere architecture will allow SES to scale the network over time beyond the first 28 satellites. Scaling of the network will be determined by market demand.

NetApp^® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, and Elastio are helping enterprises enhance their cyber resilience with a layered defense that extends from production storage into recovery data. Security teams must be ready to address threats at every layer of their technology stack, including ransomware that moved quietly through production before it was caught that now lives inside snapshots and backups. Advanced ransomware is engineered to evade prevention tools, moving quietly through production, staying below detection thresholds, reaching backup data before any alert is triggered.

 

“As we migrated our infrastructure, ensuring we had the right level of backup security and assurance was non-negotiable,” Marc Crudgington, VP IT Infrastructure and CISO, Crane WW Logistics. “Elastio provided continuous inspection of our backups from day one – giving us confidence in our ability to recover. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.”

 

 

The companies are embedding Elastio’s Provable Recovery Control into the NetApp Ransomware Resilience Service as “Powered by Elastio,” adding Deep File Inspection of snapshots. Together, the service delivers end-to-end resilience from ransomware detection through recovery – using recovery points that are continuously verified as clean.

 

 

“Storage needs to be part of the conversation when defining a holistic cyber security strategy,” Gagan Gulati, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Data Services. NetApp. “By protecting data where it lives, we make storage a priority to combat cyber threats like ransomware. But the stakes for business resilience and operational continuity are too high to rely on a single layer of defense. By collaborating with Elastio, we’re giving enterprises another tool to protect their most critical asset: data.”

 

 

A New Layer of Defense Inside the NetApp Ransomware Resilience Service

 

 

• NetApp Ransomware Resilience Service: Detects and contains ransomware at the data layer in real time, takes immutable snapshots, guides recovery, and continuously assesses ransomware posture across ONTAP^® environments. Includes behavioral detection via Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP).
• Elastio Provable Recovery Control: Deep File Inspection of ONTAP snapshots, detecting zero-day ransomware, staged malware, and stealth corruption that evaded perimeter controls. No agents and continuously identify the last known clean recovery points.

 

 

Through this collaboration, both companies are enhancing cyber resilience for customers by embedding Elastio Provable Recovery Control directly into the NetApp Ransomware Resilience Service with no separate procurement and no architecture changes.

 

“Most organizations discover their recovery data is compromised at the worst possible moment: during an active incident,” Naj Husain, CEO, Elastio. “By then the question of whether backups are clean is no longer theoretical. The joint solution answers that question continuously, before the incident forces it.”

 

 

Availability

 

 

The NetApp Ransomware Resilience Service powered by Elastio is planned for availability in the near future. Enterprise organizations interested in early access should contact their NetApp or Elastio representative to assess their current recovery posture.

Sectigo, a global leader in automated Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) and digital certificates, today introduced Sectigo Partner Platform (SPP), the industry’s first multi-tenant partner platform purpose-built to enable MSPs, MSSPs, VARs and distributors to scale and monetize certificate management operations. With SSL/TLS certificates now expiring faster and Postquantum Cryptography (PQC) on the horizon, partners need automated tools to keep customers secure and prevent outages. SPP enables partners to build an innovative portfolio of CLM services to reduce operational risk caused by mismanaged or expired certificates and turn digital trust needs into a ready-to-sell managed service.

 

An Industry Shift Creating a Major Opportunity for Channel Partners

 

 

Recent research reveals that only 13% of organizations are extremely confident they are tracking all certificates, exposing a critical operational and visibility gap. As certificate volumes surge and renewal cycles accelerate, many organizations lack the tools and resources to keep up, creating a growing need for partners who can bring automation and visibility to certificate management. This creates a clear opportunity for partners to offer CLM services that not only expand their portfolios but help them stand out in the market.

 

 

“Shorter SSL/TLS certificate lifespans and the proliferation of certificates for nonhuman, machine identity use cases are driving unprecedented certificate volumes to manage, creating a major opportunity for partners,” said Jairo Fraile, vice president of global partner sales at Sectigo. “With Sectigo Partner Platform, MSPs can turn certificate lifecycle management into a scalable, revenue-generating managed service—reducing customer risk, preventing outages, and keeping pace with accelerating certificate lifecycles through automation and true multitenant control.”

 

 

Introducing Sectigo Partner Platform

 

 

While other vendors require partners to manage all customers under a single tenant—or repurpose enterprise CLM tools in ways they weren’t designed for—SPP delivers true multi‑tenancy. Each end customer gets a fully isolated tenant with separate usage reporting, billing, certificate inventories, and admin controls, all accessible through a single self-service interface for partners. This allows partners to maintain proper security and compliance boundaries while scaling certificate management operations. With automation-first architecture and seamless integration with Sectigo Certificate Manager (SCM), Sectigo’s award-winning CLM solution, the platform enables partners to operate more efficiently and profitably as certificate volumes surge.

 

 

A Platform That Helps Partners Scale

 

 

SPP is designed to help partners streamline certificate operations, prevent outages, and easily package CLM as a managed service. With SPP, partners can now:

 

 

• Offer CLM as a packaged, managed service.
• Eliminate manual effort with automated certificate validation, issuance, and renewal workflows.
• Prevent customer outages due to mismanaged certificates that trigger emergency tickets.
• Gain complete visibility across all customer certificates and subscription inventories.
• Create predictable recurring revenue with subscription-based licensing.
• Expand service portfolios with support for private PKI and device certificates, with flexible packaging tiers.

 

SPP sits under the broader Sectigo Partner Program, designed to help channel partners build, protect, and scale high‑value managed services practices. The program provides deal registration protection, profit‑focused discounts, and hands‑on sales and technical enablement delivered through the Sectigo Connect Partner Portal. Sectigo’s partner-friendly approach ensures partners can confidently package, sell, and scale CLM services with a protected and predictable revenue model.

 

“As certificate lifecycles continue to shrink, customers rely on us to protect them from outages and visibility gaps due to mismanaged certificates,” said Timo Aarvala, CEO at Mintly Oy. “Sectigo Partner Platform’s multi-tenant architecture gives us the control and automation we need to deliver that assurance at scale. It also opens the door for us to grow our business by offering diverse, modern services like Certificate Lifecycle Management that address the digital trust challenges of today and tomorrow.”

 

 

Explore SPP at CloudFest 2026

 

 

Sectigo is proud to introduce SPP at CloudFest 2026, the world’s #1 internet infrastructure event, and invites all conference attendees to experience the future of CLM in the Sectigo VIP Lounge, where live SPP demonstrations will be available throughout the week.

 

 

Sectigo’s team will be onsite to answer questions, explore use cases, and discuss how partners can integrate SPP into their existing service portfolios. Attendees are also encouraged to join Sectigo’s Peter Roybal, director of product management, on Wednesday, March 25 at 4:25pm CET for his session, “Racing Against the Clock on Digital Trust: Shorter Certificates, Bigger Quantum Risks.”

 

 

SPP is currently available to a select number of channel partners. Channel partners ready to modernize certificate management and increase revenue can get in touch with Sectigo today HERE.

Tezverse continues to grow as a connected Web3 ecosystem where interaction, ownership, and economic activity come together inside one evolving environment. Built around the TEZ utility token, the platform functions as a digital space where user participation plays a direct role in how the ecosystem expands over time.

 

Instead of relying on isolated features, Tezverse brings multiple layers into one environment. Interactive experiences, digital ownership, on-chain activity, and token-based participation work together to create a system where users do more than access tools.

 

They become part of a connected ecosystem that develops through real activity. As the ecosystem continues to expand, Tezverse is opening up new ways for users to explore, interact, and stay involved across the platform.

 

Tez Jackpot and Ecosystem Expansion

 

Tez Jackpot continues to highlight how wallet-based interaction and on-chain participation come together inside Tezverse. The attention around Tez Jackpot and its winners has also opened the door to the next set of ecosystem updates.

 

Aethra introduces a new digital environment inside Tezverse, giving users a more immersive space to explore and interact with the ecosystem. Tez Burst and Tez Hunt add new layers of activity, expanding how users engage with the platform and opening fresh ways to participate.

 

Tez Sports extends the ecosystem beyond the digital environment, connecting the Tezverse identity with real-world sporting presence and broader community visibility. Together, these updates reflect how Tezverse is continuing to grow into a larger ecosystem where exploration, participation, and utility keep creating new opportunities for users.

 

Tez Platform Utilities

 

Tezverse connects practical tools and interactive experiences through TEZ. TezChat is one example, giving users wallet-based AI interaction within the ecosystem. By linking usage and participation back to TEZ, the platform shows how utility and engagement can exist together inside one connected environment without depending on traditional account systems.

 

Why Participation Matters

 

“Most virtual worlds reward the moment, and then it fades. Tezverse rewards the journey. TEZ is earned, used, circulated, and returned through real activity, growing value with participation, not just play. Here, engagement builds identity, ownership carries weight, and users evolve into citizens who help shape the economy, not simply watch it,” Aboobacker Sidheeq, General Manager.

 

Global Outlook

 

Tezverse continues evolving as a digital civilization where interaction, ownership, and participation move together across an expanding ecosystem. With new environments, experiences, and ecosystem layers continuing to appear, the platform grows through user activity rather than static features. Tezverse is not a fixed destination. It is an environment that keeps opening up as more users explore, interact, and contribute over time.

• An integrated platform combining strategy building, real-time analytics and execution to simplify F&O trading for India’s growing retail investor base
• Designed to eliminate fragmented workflows, NxtOption brings institutional-grade options analytics and seamless multi-leg execution to a single interface

 

HDFC securities today launched NxtOption, a next-generation platform designed to help retail investors analyse, build, and execute Futures & Options (F&O) strategies. The platform aims to simplify derivatives trading by integrating analytics, strategy tools, and execution into a single interface, addressing the growing demand for sophisticated trading solutions in India. This launch further reinforces HDFC securities’ commitment to ‘Powering India’s Investments’ by supporting investor participation in the capital markets through integrated tools and analytics.

 

Leadership Comment:

“Derivatives trading has become an important part of the Indian markets, but the rapid rise in retail participation has also highlighted key gaps in the ecosystem. A significant portion of trading remains speculative, with many participants lacking access to structured strategies, risk frameworks, and actionable insights. Execution inefficiencies, especially in multi-leg strategies, further impact outcomes. With NxtOption, we aim to bridge this gap by making professional-grade analytics and seamless execution more accessible, enabling a shift towards more disciplined, strategy-led trading and providing tools to assist investors in evaluating strategies more systematically,” said Dhiraj Relli, Managing Director & CEO, HDFC securities.

 

What is NxtOption

NxtOption is an integrated options trading platform by HDFC securities that allows users to build multi-leg F&O strategies, analyse risk and payoff scenarios, execute trades seamlessly, and track strategies in real time. Unlike traditional setups that require multiple tools, NxtOption brings everything together into one unified interface.

 

Why is HDFC securities launching NxtOption now

India’s derivatives market has seen rapid growth in retail participation, but most traders still rely on multiple platforms, manual calculations, and fragmented workflows. NxtOption addresses this gap by offering a single platform that simplifies strategy analysis, risk management, and trade execution, in line with the firm’s broader vision of ‘Powering India’s Investments’ through innovation-led solutions.

 

What are the key Features of NxtOption

1. Strategy Builder: Create and evaluate strategies before trading by building multi-leg strategies such as Straddles, Strangles, Iron Condors, and Butterflies. NxtOption allows users to view payoff charts, break-even points, profit and loss scenarios, combined Greeks, and margin requirements.
2. Strategy Watch: Allows users to track strategies as a whole and monitor complete strategies instead of individual legs, thereby enabling real-time tracking of strategy-level performance.
3. Easy Options: Provides strategy suggestions by converting a user’s market view (bullish, bearish, neutral) into relevant strategy ideas. It also enables users to view corresponding risk-reward profiles and is designed especially for new and evolving traders.
4. Advanced Derivatives Analytics: Provides real-time insights into Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, Implied Volatility (IV), Open Interest (OI) trends, as well as time value and intrinsic value. It also includes features such as market movers, rollover insights, and F&O ban list tracking.

 

How is NxtOption Different from Other Trading Platforms

NxtOption stands out by eliminating the need for multiple tools. It offers an end-to-end workflow (idea → analysis → execution) and combines institutional-grade analytics with retail accessibility.

 

Where is NxtOption available for the traders to access

NxtOption is available across mobile (InvestRight) and the web platform of HDFC securities, as well as on the web platform of HDFC SKY, the discount broking offering.

 

To support users in evaluating options strategies through structured analytical features, the platform also introduces Easy Options, a feature that converts a trader’s market outlook into potential strategy suggestions. For example, if a trader has a bullish view on the Nifty over a particular timeframe, the system suggests suitable options strategies along with their risk-reward profiles.

 

With the introduction of NxtOption, HDFC securities continues to provide technology-enabled tools for users engaging with derivatives markets in India, by combining analytics, strategy creation, and execution into a single trading experience, thereby further strengthening its role in ‘Powering India’s Investments’ at scale.
