In a panel discussion on Thursday 3 September 2020 at the ITU’s Global Symposium for Regulators annual event, Joseph Lorenzo Hall, Senior Vice President for a Strong Internet at the Internet Society, shared insights on why governments alone could not address security challenges without embracing a multi-stakeholder, public/private, approach to developing viable solutions that would enable a more secure, resilient and trustworthy Internet for everyone.
Hall illustrated how the Internet Society’s MANRS initiative is a stand-out example of a collaborative security approach where more than 500 network operators and others worldwide collaborate to help ensure that Internet traffic is reliably routed around the world – a critical building block for a trustworthy, global Internet. And he made the case for why policymakers had to take steps to strengthen the security of the global routing system.
