SISVEL
At IBC today, Sisvel announced the launch of a new joint patent licensing program, or patent pool, offering a license under patents essential to the DVB-S2X standard, an extension of the DVB-S2 specification that provides additional technologies and features. The program has been launched with a portfolio of essential patents owned or controlled by Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e. V., Hughes Network Systems, LLC, Newtec Cy N.V., RAI - Radiotelevisione Italiana S.p.A., The European Space Agency and WORK Microwave GmbH.
Further information about the terms and conditions of Sisvel’s DVB-S2X licenses is available at http://www.sisvel.com/licensing-programs/digital-video-display-technology/dvb-S2X/license-terms or from Sisvel upon request by companies currently requiring a license.
You may contact Sisvel at the following e-mail address: DVB-S2X@sisvel.com .
The portfolio license makes essential DVB-S2X patents more easily accessible and ensures that all users of this technology will benefit from the transparency and the convenience of the license terms available under this new program.
Davide Ferri, CEO of Sisvel Spa and Sisvel Technology, said “Sisvel and the patent owners have made a consistent effort to launch the DVB-S2X licensing program at this early stage of the technology adoption, thus providing the market with certainty and predictability for the cost of a license. We are therefore very proud of this remarkable achievement”.
Mattia Fogliacco, CEO of the Sisvel Group, said “The EU Commission, in its communication of the 29th of November 2017 setting out the approach to Standard Essential Patents, clearly expressed its support for patent pools and licensing platforms, as being able to ‘address many of the SEP licensing challenges by offering better scrutiny on essentiality, more clarity on aggregate licensing fees and one-stop- shop solutions’ . Sisvel is fully aligned with this statement and is confident that this new program will promote a rapid adoption of the DVB-S2X standard”.
The joint DVB-S2X licensing program remains open to additional patent owners, and Sisvel invites all parties with patents believed to be essential to the DVB-S2X standard to contact Sisvel and submit those patent(s) for an evaluation of essentiality by the program’s designated, independent evaluator.

Obsidian Security Unveils AI Agent Defense to Secure SaaS Data Access23.9.2025 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
New platform capabilities safeguard enterprises from the next frontier of cyber risk: autonomous AI agents inside business-critical SaaS. Obsidian Security, leader in SaaS security, today announced the launch of SaaS AI agent defense, giving enterprises the first purpose-built solution to govern how AI agents access data in SaaS environments. With SaaS now one of the most targeted layers of the enterprise stack, Obsidian is closing the enterprise AI agent-to-SaaS blindspot, where unmanaged agentic AI integrations and excessive privileges can create cascading risk. In the recent Salesforce attack (UNC6040), threat actors used voice phishing campaigns to obtain initial access and run bulk API queries for large-scale data theft and extortion. The Salesloft Salesforce supply chain breach (UNC6395) illustrated the fragility of SaaS-to-SaaS integrations where one compromised chatbot integration expanded into unauthorized access across Salesforce and downstream applications, including Google

82% of Global LPs to Increase Exposure to Private Credit in Next Three Years, CSC Research Finds23.9.2025 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
Portfolio diversification (76%) tops LP motivations to increase allocations, more than double those citing attractive returns (36%). Private credit GPs anticipate continued AUM growth, led by senior debt and asset-backed finance; cross-border lending set to surge. More than four fifths (82%) of limited partners (LPs) say they expect to increase allocations to private credit over the next three years, according to a new international study by CSC, the leading provider of global business administration and compliance solutions. Of these LPs, around two fifths (42%) expect “significant” growth in private credit exposure, underscoring the momentum and positive investor sentiment towards the asset class. The research that canvassed the views of 300 general partners (GPs) and 200 limited partners (LPs) in Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America, found that portfolio diversification was the primary motive behind greater allocation (according to 76% of LPs), ahead of attractive returns (36%).
