MANRS Programs

DC1 is commited to be a good internet citizen, and strives to deploy responsible network routing practices as a foundation for a stable and secure internet for everyone.

The 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.

Internet security requires the collaboration and commitment from all the networks involved. Kemnet believes that with MANRS, Global cooperation will be a step in improved routing security and good Internet governance.

Mazeda Networks has endeavored to keep up a safe and flexible network, conveying the most refreshed prescribed procedures and, as a National ISP Network, spreading them to its clients so as to get from them a dedication of sending these accepted procedures in their systems also. Holding fast to MANRS activity fortifies this position.

The Internet is humanity's greatest collective work! For Azion that is part of this ecosystem, of this collective work and ensuring that Internet traffic is routed reliably worldwide is an essential element for a reliable global Internet. Based on common network operating practices currently in effect, the global Internet routing system does not have sufficient security controls to prevent the injection of false routing information. The lack of these controls creates a significant vulnerability, which can result in thousands of traffic incidents. The MANRS initiative, promoted by the Internet Society, overcomes this collective problem by establishing a security baseline with concrete actions for network operators. The actions are supported by a growing community of more than 200 networks worldwide. Currently, there are more than 7,000 autonomous systems in Brazil, country of Azion's origin, with only 33 of these autonomous systems participating in MANRS. The idea is to expand the number of companies involved so that, together, they can work to make the Internet a safe environment. This is Azion's main objective in participating in MANRS.

As my organization running the ccTLD (.sd and .سودان) which considered as critical services, we decided to join MANRS to guarantee the security of the internet and reduce the possibility to hijack our network resources. by joining this initiative it can be as an example to advocate and promote MANRS between the local ISPs, network operators.

For Internet Exchange Services Yucatan (IXSY) the adoption of standards and best practices for routing security has big importance, because IXPs are key infrastructure and play an important role in the Internet ecosystem. The adoption of MANRS in IXSY helps in strengthening the routing security on the Internet.

With a greater reliance on the internet now more than ever, it is crucial that the internet is stable and offers secure and trusted methods to connect users. It is the responsibility of the global community to work together to ensure that the whole ecosystem forming the internet works well and is protected against threat actors. Juniper Networks is a proud supporter of the MANRS program and will continue to strive for a better internet in today’s connected world.

It is in everyone's best interest to keep the internet clean. By doing our part and conforming to the objectives stated by MANRS, we can reduce the impact of intended and unintended misconfigurations and the risk of abuse of internet resources and we hope that others will do so as well.

Having been introduced to MANRS through attendance at LINX 102 we could see that this was a great way for us to be able to benchmark ourselves against recognised best-practice. In addition we benefit from being part of a community of like-minded organisations looking to make the global Internet more resilient and secure.

Our community is in the middle of a major change that aims to strengthen the Internet ecosystem in Panamá, and it is important to get it right. MANRS is one of the mechanisms for implementing routing security best practices and an opportunity to strengthen the community through trust among all local members and international stakeholders.

As part of APNIC’s Vision: A global, open, stable, and secure Internet that serves the entire Asia Pacific community, APNIC would like to join the Internet Society’s MANRS initiative to support and contribute to reduce the most common routing threats. APNIC works extensively to assist our Members with improving their routing security to ensure the Internet is secure and safe to use.
