    What happened: LACNIC launches training sessions for improved routing security

    LACNIC has announced a series of technical training sessions aimed at enhancing routing security across the region. The initiative follows a significant rise in routing incidents, particularly in countries like Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, and Mexico. These training sessions will take place during LACNIC 43 on May 5, focusing on the prevention of common attacks such as route hijacks and prefix leaks.

    The agenda includes tutorials on Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) security, particularly the use of Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) to secure routing systems. Participants will engage in practical labs that simulate real-world environments, allowing them to apply learned concepts directly. The sessions will be accessible both on-site and online, with language support in Spanish, English, and Portuguese.

    Why it’s important

    The rising number of routing incidents highlights a critical vulnerability in internet infrastructure that affects users globally. By addressing these issues, LACNIC aims to bolster the stability and reliability of internet connectivity in a region often plagued by security challenges. The adoption of best practices in routing security is essential for preventing disruptions that could impact businesses and everyday users alike.

    Furthermore, this initiative aligns with global efforts to secure internet infrastructure, as similar training programs are being implemented in various parts of the world. The focus on RPKI reflects a growing recognition of the need for robust security measures to combat the evolving landscape of cyber threats.
