The Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security initiative, supported by the Internet Society, announced the Content Delivery Network and Cloud Program to help secure large hubs of the internet from common routing problems.

"The MANRS community can leverage the new participants' unique roles in the Internet routing system, in particular their vast peering value, for the benefit of a more secure Internet," says Andrei Robachevsky, the Internet Society's Senior Director for Technology Programs.

"Putting in place more stringent controls on routing hygiene in the peering environment, will increase awareness of the need for greater MANRS adoption by peering networks. The CDN and cloud community is integral to the Internet ecosystem, and by joining MANRS, they are joining a community of Internet service providers and Internet Exchange Points committed to making the global routing infrastructure more secure," he added.

Christian Kaufmann, Vice President, Network Technology, Akamai says: "Being MANRS compliant not only improves our routing security capabilities, but has the potential to help other networks to improve theirs and is an opportunity for Akamai to make a significant contribution to the improvement of global routing security."

Rogério Mariano, Director of Edge Strategy, Azion says: "The security of the Internet as a whole depends on the security of routing. It's necessary for the leaders to change their mindset and invest in the adoption of filters to avoid the incorrect propagation of routing information. Azion is strongly committed to the security of Internet routing."
