MANRS Programs

Internet routing security is, unfortunately, one of the major vulnerabilities of the cyberspace. All network operators need to take actions to mitigate the routing security issue. MANRS principles will be an important component to improve global routing security. It is our obligation and honor to join MANRS.

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.

We stand behind the MANRS initiative, especially taking into account our primary goal of adhering and refining of industry best-practices, as far as security and data protection are concerned. Initiatives of the nature of MANRS are always welcome, in the spirit of improving both our internal quality assurance and security efforts in the medium-term.

We 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.

GOLINE firmly believes in initiatives to protect networks, improve security and resilience of the global routing system. Therefore we decided to support the MANRS project and join as participants.

Maintaining routing security hygiene is one of the most important aspects for a resilient Critical Internet Infrastructure implementation. Being a community IX, joining the MANRS program and implementing best practices will go a long way in propagating the change within the community. Joining MANRS and also working with our peers advocating the best practices are one of the key agendas towards a more secured Internet experience in the region.

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.

Workonline 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.

Gigastream 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.

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.

Making the Internet a safer place than it is today is a goal shared by many participants of the industry. We at LU-CIX try to help wherever we can, and certainly would like to add our own homework to the goal. Therefore we think that MANRS is a very worthwhile initiative that brings together in one set of guidance rules many of the industry best practices, and also allows us to publicly show our support for a safer Internet.

Good network routing practice is the fundamental requirement for trust between providers, and ultimately creates a safer and stronger internet for customers. KPN is committed to providing secure and trustworthy communications, and by joining partners in MANRS, we continue to improve security and resiliency for all.
