Talk
Routing Security in a More Fractured World
The lack of good routing security has long posed significant problems for network defenders, but current geopolitics is making this problem a more pressing issue. As with many cybersecurity issues, the limiting factor is not technical, but economic and organizational. This talk will explore how to potentially overcome some of those economic and organizational challenges to improve routing security for the digital ecosystem.
