Sergey A. Mutin Chief Technical Officer (CTO)

Having been introduced to MANRS through attendance at LINX 102 we could see that this was a great way for us to be able to benchmark ourselves against recognised best-practice. In addition we benefit from being part of a community of like-minded organisations looking to make the global Internet more resilient and secure.

Kevin Herbert, Operations Director

We believe the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet operation can be improved via distributed and shared responsibilities as documented in MANRS. As one of the largest academic networks in the world, CERNET is committed to the MANRS actions.

Xing Li Deputy Director, CERNET

Internet has vastly grown in size over the last two decades. Although the tools nowdays exist, many providers have not taken the correct steps in order to address critical security issues. MANRS is the right way for network and cloud providers to further engage with internet security and make the internet safer for everyone. Hostmein IKE is a leading Greek cloud and data center provider providing mission critical services. Security for Hostmein is a critical aspect. MANRS actively helped us implement a better security policy for our network by setting the correct guidelines.

Jason Livingood Vice President, Internet Services, Comcast

It is in everyone's best interest to keep the internet clean. By doing our part and conforming to the objectives stated by MANRS, we can reduce the impact of intended and unintended misconfigurations and the risk of abuse of internet resources and we hope that others will do so as well.

Teun Vink BIT BV

We fully agree with the general guidelines of the MANRS initiative, since we have always ensured our state of the art network follows security best practices. Forthnet believes that improvement of routing security will happen through cooperation and being part of that effort is the right thing to do.

With a greater reliance on the internet now more than ever, it is crucial that the internet is stable and offers secure and trusted methods to connect users. It is the responsibility of the global community to work together to ensure that the whole ecosystem forming the internet works well and is protected against threat actors. Juniper Networks is a proud supporter of the MANRS program and will continue to strive for a better internet in today’s connected world.
