In an effort to actively help boost global internet security, Huawei has now joined as a founding member of the Equipment Vendor Program (EVP) of the Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS).
MANRS is a global initiative that aims to reduce the most common routing vulnerabilities, such as Internet route hijacking, route leakage, and address spoofing through cooperation among carriers, IXPs, CDN providers, equipment vendors, and policymakers. It is promoted by the Internet Society (ISOC) and mainly focuses on internet security and resilience.
Under it, the EVP program is new and is targeted at equipment vendors following the Network Operator Program, IXP Program, and CDN and Cloud Program.
“Huawei, a worldwide leader in network equipment, is leading by example through their active contributions to the new MANRS Equipment Vendor Program,” said Andrei Robachevsky, Senior Director, Technology Programs for the ISOC. “Along with other founding participants in the program, Huawei’s involvement shows the importance network equipment vendors have in Internet routing security, and we hope it will motivate more members of the Internet infrastructure community to continue to make advancements to a more secure Internet for everyone.”
Hank Chen, President of Router Domain, Data Communication Product Line, Huawei stated that Huawei was honored to join MANRS as an active contributor to Internet security. “Routing security is crucial to Internet security, and that includes network devices (e.g., routers and IXP switches), the foundation of the Internet. Over the years, Huawei has dedicated itself to building secure and reliable network devices and has extensive capabilities and experience in the field,” he added.
Huawei will continue to work to ensure the openness, security, and stability of the Internet in the future along with collaborating with industry partners to promote the prosperity of the global Internet.
