As the provider of a network that connects NZ's researchers, educators, and students to the rest of the world, REANNZ has always taken the security and stability of our members’ networks seriously. MANRS’ pragmatic and straightforward framework for implementing best practice routing security reflects and expands upon our own efforts in this area. We support this initiative and encourage wider adoption of it throughout the Internet community for the benefit of all.
The MANRS IXP Initiative brings together in one place, in an easy to access form, all of the relevant information on routing security best practice for our members. We incorporate the MANRS material into our training courses and guidance, to provide our members with a consistent approach to routing security and BGP policy best practice.
Senior Network Engineer, LONAPIn our hyper-connected world, secure networks are critical to ensuring robust and reliable infrastructure worldwide. Arrcus strongly endorses the MANRS belief that security is a key tenet of the global network architecture - it has been a key guiding principle for us as we have built our ACE platform to support enterprise and service provider customers. Arrcus is proud to support MANRS and the important work being done developing standards to help ensure a more securely connected global internet.
We believe that Internet is a community where everyone has to contribute to have a more secure Internet infrastructure. We are committed to making our part for a global routing infrastructure more robust and secure.
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.
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 InternetInternet 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.
CTOGOLINE 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.
Managing DirectorSince its beginnings, RedIRIS has striven to maintain a secure and resilient network, deploying the most updated best practices and, as a National R&E Network, disseminating them to its customers in order to get from them a commitment of deploying these best practices in their networks as well.
