DigitalOcean Joins MANRS Initiative to Combat Routing Security Threats

DigitalOcean has joined the Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS) initiative, supported by the Internet Society, aiming to reduce common routing security threats. The MANRS initiative outlines actions network operators should take to improve the resilience and security of routing infrastructure. By joining the initiative, DigitalOcean agrees to follow specific guidelines to increase its routing security and help make the internet safer for both businesses and consumers. The technical steps MANRS outlines for cloud service providers include filtering, anti-spoofing, coordination, and global validation.
