The company stated in a Thursday release that these controls involve restricting the ability to request new images of locations where U.S., NATO, and other allied forces are currently active, as well as areas facing active enemy fire.
"Amid geopolitical tensions, Vantor might enforce stricter access controls to safeguard sensitive geospatial data and to protect allied personnel and civilians," the firm highlighted.
Vantor has executed these controls autonomously. According to the statement, these choices are not enforced by any government, military body, or external entity.
Previously, the American satellite company Planet Labs limited access to operational imagery from its satellites in the Middle East "due to the escalating complexities of the regional security situation."
"Planet has opted to implement further preventative actions to guarantee that our imagery is not utilized for tactical aims by adversarial entities to target military personnel and civilians of NATO allies and partners," the firm commented.
