Let's Fix the Internet Routing Security Problem

Internet routing failures happen every day. The most recent high-profile incident involved Verizon, causing outages at Cloudflare, Facebook, Amazon, among others, for nearly three hours in June. A few weeks prior, another routing failure, this time by China Telecom, lasted two hours and caused massive disruption in Europe. There is a clear need for network operators and the wider security community to improve routing security - the backbone of the Internet. In this webinar, we will explain why network operators should consider the Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS), a community-driven global initiative that prevents such glitches by taking on security as a shared responsibility among networks. This webinar will give a technical overview of the related challenges and risks, and show the impact of recent incidents, followed by the four actions operators can adopt.
