Governor of Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI) Eng. Ahmed bin Abdul Aziz Al-Ohali inaugurated the Mobile Exhibition for Awareness of Cybersecurity on Tuesday.

The National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) is organizing the exhibition, which will be held from October 15 to 16 in Riyadh. Several officials from GAMI and the NCA attended the opening ceremony.

The exhibition features six interactive pavilions designed to enrich visitors' experiences. It highlights key cybersecurity concepts, emphasizes protective behaviors against cyber threats, and provides live simulations of significant cyberattacks affecting individuals and organizations.

The National Cybersecurity Awareness Campaign, held annually in October to coincide with World Cybersecurity Awareness Month, is one of the NCA's strategic initiatives.

It aims to elevate cybersecurity awareness across all segments of society in the Kingdom, reinforce national security values, and educate the public on best practices to protect against evolving cyber threats while promoting collaboration among national entities in the field of cybersecurity.

Italy is preparing to test the use of satellites produced by Elon Musk's Starlink to offer internet connection services in some remote areas of the country, a government official was quoted as saying on Tuesday.
The Starlink project was being discussed with some regional administrations, Undersecretary to the Prime Minister's Office Alessio Butti said in an interview with Il Sole 24 Ore daily ahead of a Group of Seven ministerial meeting on technology and digital on Lake Como.
"We're assessing with Starlink and other players the possibility of complementing existing infrastructure with satellites for the most remote areas," Reuters quoted him as saying.
"In reference to Starlink in particular, we're currently speaking to some regions - in the north, center and south of the country - to test a 'space based service' for remote areas or areas without terrestrial infrastructure."
Butti said the government had been exploring options such as a satellite-based internet connection service to make up for delays accumulated by companies in charge of fiber rollout plans.
The country is pursuing a broader plan to ensure homes and businesses across Italy have access to fixed-line internet speeds of at least 1 Gigabit per second by 2026.
"The Italy at 1 Giga scheme is a key element of our commitments under the post-pandemic recovery plan, and we're aware of the importance of reaching the target set for 2026," Butti said.
