MANRS Presentation & Workshop
MANRS stands for Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security. It’s a global initiative supported by the Internet Society that promotes best practices for securing Internet routing.
Why does MANRS matter?
The Internet is built on trust. Networks exchange data using a system called BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), which unfortunately has no built-in security. This leaves it vulnerable to:
- Route leaks (where traffic is unintentionally diverted)
- Prefix hijacking (malicious or mistaken announcements of IP ranges)
- Incorrect configurations that can disrupt global connectivity
