NIST’s updated DNS deployment guide treats DNS as a core security control, offering practical guidance on protective DNS, encryption, DNSSEC, and both authoritative and recursive operations to help operators strengthen resilience, visibility, and policy enforcement.
Guest Post: Network monitoring has traditionally been built around a simple assumption: Most problems come from outside. What can we learn by observing the traffic that leaves our networks — especially when it does not receive a reply?
Guest Post: A short BGP hijack in 2025 showed how routing security can fail when attackers exploit weaknesses in provider onboarding.
Guest Post: Routing loops cause packets to circulate between routers. This can congest links, enable DDoS attacks, and ultimately reduce the stability and reliability of the Internet. The good news is that IPv6 routing loops are easy to prevent.
RPKI deployment continues to strengthen across the Asia Pacific region. The data shows real progress, but also where operators can make the biggest impact next.
How APNIC products and tools can strengthen your network security and improve routing visibility in this upcoming webinar.
A review of Michael Richardson’s IRTF draft, a taxonomy of operational security considerations for manufacturer installed keys and trust anchors.
A look at how a consistent time standard is spread across the Internet, and the recent efforts to add an aspect of security to Network Time Protocol (NTP).
A new paper from MANRS suggests enterprise demand may be the missing driver for stronger routing security.
