MANRS as Fire Code
[Editor’s Note: This is a guest post from MANRS Steering Committee member Andrew Gallo from The George Washington University.] Where does a norm fit in Internet operations and engineering? Technical standards that define how the Internet operates, and the processes that create them, are silent on how societies are to deal with these systems once […]

Testimonials
Saicom consistently push to ensure a clean and stable internet infrastructure for our clients. MANRS allows us to ensure our clients that we take the right steps in securing their routes
Network OperationsFor Arista, security is a key attribute of our overall solution, starting at the routing perimeter for worldwide Internet resiliency. As a global industry leader in cloud networking, we want to take part in the efforts to secure the Internet as well. MANRS is providing great guidelines to achieve that goal and Arista Networks is proud to be a founding participant of the MANRS Vendor Program.
Senior Vice President, Customer Engineering for Arista NetworksThe 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.
Network Planning Director, AZIONSince its beginnings, Fiber@Home has endeavored to keep up a safe and strong system, sending the most refreshed prescribed procedures and, as a Transit provider, dispersing them to its clients with the end goal to get from them a dedication of conveying these accepted procedures in their systems also. Clinging to MANRS activity fortifies this position.

Chief Information Security Officer, KPNAs 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.
We always try to keep our network safe for our customers. MANRS is a must for the internet. Hostmein Cloud is dedicated to providing the best possible and secure network to its customers.
