Promoting Responsible Routing: Excloud Joins MANRS

Last updated on December 11, 2024

Discover Excloud's commitment to internet security through its participation in MANRS. Join us in promoting responsible routing practices for a safer online ecosystem.

What is MANRS?

Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS) is a global initiative that brings together network operators, IXPs, and cloud providers to enhance the security and resilience of the internet’s routing system. MANRS focuses on improving collaboration and shared responsibility to reduce the risks of route leaks, hijacks, and other security incidents that threaten the global internet infrastructure.

Why is MANRS Important?

Routing security is a critical aspect of maintaining a stable and trustworthy internet. Without proper safeguards, malicious actors can exploit vulnerabilities, leading to disruptions, data breaches, or large-scale outages. By adhering to the principles of MANRS, organizations demonstrate their commitment to securing the internet for everyone.
