Channel Description
ISPs connect their networks to each other and exchange routing information using the BGP protocol. As the importance of the Internet has grown, the quality and security of Internet routing have become critical. When you leverage routing security, your network cannot fully communicate with ‘bad actors’ in the first place, thus making securely serving your customers easier and more financially sustainable. By deploying the correct methods you may not stop these threats from reaching your network, but you can at least prevent your network from reaching an invalid prefix, making it impossible to establish full two-way communication. Filtering and rejecting routes is not scary and does not generally cause reachability issues: in cases of obvious BGP hijacks, rejecting the routes is undeniably good, and in case someone has made a typo in their route announcement, rejecting the route will actually help reachability instead of hindering it.
