On 11 May 2026, eco’s topDNS Initiative, together with the Global Cyber Alliance and MANRS, hosted the 12th topDNS Best Practice webinar, focusing on Internet routing security as a critical but often overlooked enterprise supply chain risk.
The session featured Andrei Robachevsky, Technical Director, Internet Integrity Program at the Global Cyber Alliance, and Matthew Davy, Chief Network Architect at Visa.
The discussion examined how enterprises secure applications, identities, infrastructure, and data, while the Internet routes connecting users, cloud services, CDNs, SD-WAN environments, and customer-facing applications often remain outside traditional risk management. Routing incidents such as BGP leaks and hijacks can disrupt operations, expose data, reduce revenue, and affect availability even when internal security controls are strong.
Key topics included:
- How BGP’s lack of built-in authentication can enable route hijacks, misoriginations, and route leaks
- How routing incidents can cause outages, service degradation, impersonation risks, interception, reconnaissance, and man-in-the-middle exposure
- Why Internet routing should be treated as a supply chain dependency across SD-WAN, cloud, CDN, and customer access environments
- Why routing security is often missing from enterprise risk assessments, procurement practices, SLAs, and provider governance
- How enterprises can reduce exposure by requiring stronger routing security from connectivity providers, cloud providers, CDNs, and regional ISPs
- How RPKI and Route Origin Authorizations can help protect enterprise address space, while adoption among major enterprises remains incomplete
- How MANRS provides a global baseline for routing security, and why MANRS+ aims to define stronger, enterprise-grade, auditable requirements
The webinar closed with a call for senior enterprise practitioners from security, network, and risk teams to help define practical, auditable routing security expectations that can be used in procurement and provider management.
