Testimonials
Today's society relies more and more on the Internet. It is therefore crucial that the stability and security of global routing is further increased. The MANRS initiative offers real added value in this respect by providing guidance and raising awareness among network operators.
CEOWe strongly support MANRS precisely because its aims are converging with those we have been pursuing for years. This means that no change to our policies was necessary with our joining MANRS. We are glad that MANRS has come to light and we will do our best to support MANRS and its goals.
CEO FASTNETGigastream is firmly committed to the underlying principles of the MANRS initiative and supports the community's efforts to increase the security, stability and dependability of the Internet. Through our participation in the MANRS initiative we hope to promote these efforts and encourage others to join us in doing so.
Director, Gigastream plcWorkonline implements the recommendations contained in the MANRS document by default. By publicly stating the measures that we take to ensure the robustness of our network, we hope to encourage our customers and peers to do the same.
Director - Network Operations & Strategy, Workonline Communications (Pty) LtdInternet has vastly grown in size over the last two decades. Although the tools nowdays exist, many providers have not taken the correct steps in order to address critical security issues. MANRS is the right way for network and cloud providers to further engage with internet security and make the internet safer for everyone. Hostmein IKE is a leading Greek cloud and data center provider providing mission critical services. Security for Hostmein is a critical aspect. MANRS actively helped us implement a better security policy for our network by setting the correct guidelines.
CTOSUNET is committed to robust global routing polices and MANRS is one of the best initiatives so far to help out operators with this. We hope with our participation that more of the R&E sector will sign up and live up to the norms. We hope that in the future MANRS will be the standard, not the exception.
Network Architect, SUNETPIT Bolivia’s vision is to be a point of reference in the digital environment that contributes to the improvement of the Internet in Bolivia. For this it is vital to implement good international practices to ensure routing between the different Internet agents in Bolivia that exchange traffic.
General manager, PIT BoliviaThe reliability and security of the internet is a big concern for us! Belgium is only a small country, having a trustworthy connection to other national and international operators should be of key strategic importance for everyone. We hope with doing our small part that we can help the internet forward.
FounderBeing MANRS compliant not only improves our routing security capabilities, but has the potential to help other networks to improve theirs and is an opportunity for Akamai to make a significant contribution to the improvement of global routing security.
iWayAfrica Kenya believes that the MANRS project is critical in today's global Internet ecosystem, and want to play our part in making the Internet routing security landscape better for all.
RENU joins MANRS to improve its security posture on the internet by acting upon and deploying MANRS actions that can improve the security of the global routing table. For a long time, multiple routing incidents such as route hijacks, route leaks and IP address spoofing have occurred on the internet causing network outages and cost implications to many companies. RENU also wants to ease collaboration with other network operators thus encouraging stability and reliability on the internet.
Senior Networks Engineer - Research and Education Network for Uganda (RENU)Adherence to MANRS is an important commitment that operators make back to the Internet community. Together we aim to remove the havens from which miscreants maintain the freedom and anonymity to attack our network and our customers.
