Project Manager, WarianInternet 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.
Senior Network Engineer, KEMNETInternet 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.
CTOSaicom 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 OperationsColoClue strongly believes in making the internet better by implementing security features sooner rather than later. We've been doing strict filtering based on IRR data for a long time; when RPKI became a thing, we soon implemented that too. We believe that the objectives of MANRS perfectly align with the goals of ColoClue, so it only makes sense to join!
