https://lnkd.in/g8NDGY2E Research for the week - In light of all the global BS going on at the moment, what position and capability of Australia's ISP of securing BGP? "Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is a system intended to prevent route leaks and BGP hijacking. It provides cryptographically verifiable guarantees for networks to validate the IP prefixes of others — although even this system isn't foolproof and potentially can be circumvented. "In proposing to measure RPKI deployment, we will help inform both the private and public sectors about what more needs to be done to secure our networks," Commissioner Geoffrey Starks said on Thursday, noting that the FCC's actions are part of a "multi-pronged" government approach to securing the internet. "It is also consistent with Initiative 4.1.5 of the National Cybersecurity Strategy Implementation Plan, which tasks the Office of the National Cyber Director, along with stakeholders and government agencies, to develop a roadmap to increase adoption of secure Internet routing techniques including BGP security," Starks added. Smaller ISPs, however, would not have to file regular BGP security plans with the FCC, though they must submit those details to the commission if asked."

🚀 Internet Security Upgrade: FCC Steps In 🛡️ Casting a spotlight on cybersecurity, the FCC has introduced a trailblazing proposal aimed at fortifying the bedrock of America's internet infrastructure. This move could change the game in how data journeys through the online world. 🌐 In the ever-evolving narrative of cybersecurity, internet routing security has stepped onto the centre stage. The FCC is cracking down on the unseen yet critical vulnerabilities within the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) that might as well be considered the backbone of internet traffic direction. 🌐✨ Imagine the potential chaos: a world where essential services, private communications, and even national security could be compromised with a few manipulations of internet routes. That's the reality of BGP hijacking, a cyber-threat the FCC is now targeting head-on with savvy measures. 🔐 This isn't just about avoiding the inconvenience of an internet blackout; it's a race against time to shield our most critical digital lifelines from nefarious digital deeds. With ISPs now required to confidentially reveal their strategies for fighting these risks, transparency is set to become the new standard in network security. ☑️ The FCC's push isn't flying solo—it's part of a broader strike in cyber-defense orchestrated by national and international bodies alike. #CyberSecurity #FCC #InternetSafety

Cybersecurity Alert! 🚨 Following recent cyberattacks on Maxis, Aminia, and YouTutor, now LPPKN has fallen victim to R00TK1T's malicious activities. Contrary to speculation, the target wasn't Padu but LPPKN’s internal server, impacting internal documents only. This highlights the urgent need for Malaysian companies to heighten their cybersecurity measures. R00TK1T has issued a warning, targeting all companies in Malaysia and its digital infrastructure until its message is heard loud and clear. Let's take this as a wake-up call to bolster our defenses and stay vigilant against evolving cyber threats! #R00TK1T #LPPKN https://lnkd.in/gVXFF35c

It’s Wednesday and that means we’re 💡demystifying fragmentation💡! Last week, we explained how fragmentation can look like Sender Pays. This week, let’s discuss CERT-In Cybersecurity Directions. Everything on the Internet connects to a time server—a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. This is how a device keeps accurate time and is essential to a functioning Internet. But a policy in India threatens this technology’s resilience, and potentially its accuracy. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) mandates connecting to two government-controlled NTP servers. This government has a long history of shutdowns and policies that harm the Internet, and critics argue these NTP servers aren’t transparent. It’s impossible to know if they’re reliable or will continue to be. If you have time servers that aren’t coordinated, and the discrepancy is large enough, you wouldn’t know the correct time. Beyond being late for school or a meeting, even tiny misalignments can be catastrophic for financial transactions or cybersecurity. Find out why we believe CERT-In should reconsider its one-size-fits-all approach. https://lnkd.in/ekJ9NA4e #certin #fragmentation #cybersecurity #ntp

As ATIS notes in its July 2023 report, zero trust is a security framework recommended by most US government agencies. For example, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) both support the ZTA implementation from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for 5G

Group CEO CIP. Fellow Cyber Theory Institute. Director Fintech & Cyber Security Alliance (FITCA) working with Governments. NAMED AN EXPERT IN INTERNET ASSET & DNS VULNERABILITIES
Who Controls Your Critical Internet Assets and DNS? In the wake of last weeks cyberattack on a global auction house, concerns arise over the vulnerability of Internet Assets and DNS management. Initial suspicions pointed towards China. Our deeper research and investigations reveal a more alarming reality: the plethora of exposed and insecure Interent Assets and the ease of DNS tampering and abuse due to lax security measures. Numerous IPv4 addresses redirecting to China, compromised Not Secure subdomains, and insecure DNS records and servers paint a picture of vulnerability undoubtedly exploited by malicious actors. This incident underscores a critical question: who controls your Internet assets and DNS infrastructure? In an era where digital interconnectedness defines the global landscape, the security of DNS and Internet Assets is paramount. The reality often falls short. Time and time again, organizations neglect the importance of robust security measures, leaving gaping vulnerabilities ripe for exploitation is evident. As we navigate an increasingly digitized world, the imperative for stringent DNS and Internet Asset management cannot be overstated. It's not merely about thwarting cyberattacks but safeguarding the very fabric of our online infrastructure. The time for proactive, comprehensive security measures is now. In the digital age, control over our critical Internet Asets and DNS is synonymous with safeguarding our collective digital future whilst the opposite leaves the world and organizations Exposed, Insecure, and simply waiting: Going, going, gone... #WhitethornShield FBI Cyber Division Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) The White House GCHQ National Cybersecurity Coordination Center (NCSCC) #DNS #PKI
