Why Join MANRS?
Every day, routing security incidents affect the Internet and the organizations and people that rely on it. MANRS sets security norms to reduce those incidents.
Participants across four programs
Improve security by preventing attacks and accidents
Join a community committed to a more robust and secure Internet
Lead the industry by inspiring and encouraging other operators
The Observatory
The MANRS Observatory monitors the state of Internet routing security. It aggregates data to help network operators improve the security of their networks. See how your network is doing.

Testimonials
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.
Network Planning Director, AZIONFor 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 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.
Founder1&1 Internet is committed to responsible network routing practices and robust global routing policies as a foundation of a resilient Internet. MANRS is a great initiative to help operators live up to the necessary standards.
Head of Network Engineering at 1&1 InternetI believe it is in the worlds best interest to make an effort to ensure stability and security at all levels for providers. It is our job to ensure our services, our products, are helping, and not hindering, by connecting to the world. We do our best as a provider to follow this mentality and pass it on to our customers and our peers. We believe that joining MANRS will help spotlight these ideals.
We believe the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet operation can be improved via distributed and shared responsibilities as documented in MANRS. As one of the largest academic networks in the world, CERNET is committed to the MANRS actions.
Deputy Director, CERNETToday'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.
CEOThe University of Maine System is a strong supporter of the MANRS initiative and will follow its guidance to assist in the stabilization of the routing infrastructure of the Internet.
Becoming a member of the MANRS community is a great way to demonstrate Pioneer's commitment to play an active role in maintaining the integrity of the global internet ecosystem.
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.
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.
Director, Internet Exchange Services YucatanURAN Association community is participating in MANRS because routing security is a growing area of concern for network operators around the globe. Whether from accidental misconfiguration or malicious hijack, the results are often more than just inconvenient. Joining MANRS and the Internet2 community’s efforts connect us with a community of security-minded professionals and organizations committed to making the global routing infrastructure more robust and secure.
