Strengthening your network security with APNIC’s products and tools
Strengthening routing security is increasingly critical, and APNIC’s tools are helping operators protect their networks with clearer, more reliable validation and visibility.
NIST updates its secure DNS deployment guide: What operators need to know
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.
The potential of erroneous outbound traffic
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?
RPKI vs social engineering: A case study in route hijacking
Guest Post: A short BGP hijack in 2025 showed how routing security can fail when attackers exploit weaknesses in provider onboarding.
Make this one change to prevent IPv6 routing loops in your network
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.
Routing security in APAC: Trends from the APNIC region
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.
Strengthening network security and visibility through APNIC products and tools
How APNIC products and tools can strengthen your network security and improve routing visibility in this upcoming webinar.
How to talk about the trust in your devices: An IRTF draft
A review of Michael Richardson’s IRTF draft, a taxonomy of operational security considerations for manufacturer installed keys and trust anchors.
