The global economy and a nation’s critical infrastructure rely on the Internet for communication and connectivity. Telecommunication networks act as the heart of the interconnect between various industries, organizations, countries etc. However; the Internet traffic, in addition to genuine data packets also contains spurious / malicious traffic like spyware, malware, worms, trojans etc. This not only compromises security of data but also chokes up the bandwidth. It also points to the disturbing fact that several end user systems may have been compromised and may be acting as botnets to help malicious agents launch spam. What is worrisome is that the systems may become vehicle for distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. A DDoS attack can saturate an organization's Internet connectivity, impacting its ability to conduct business thereby having a negative impact on revenue and brand reputation. DDoS attacks pose the biggest challenge to organizations and they may need to shell out millions to install on-premise solutions to protect connectivity to service nodes. However, as demonstrated by recent incidents involving attack on DyN, NASDAQ, Spamhaus and several global firms, organizations need to ensure they work with all entities in the connectivity value chain to secure their Internet pipe and ensure continuity of business. To mitigate DDoS attacks before they start to block traffic to the targeted enterprise, and defend against the many other threats the concept of a “Clean Pipe” emerges. With their unique vantage point over the organizations network, telecom firms are ideally placed to deliver “clean pipe” Internet service by curtailing external network threats before they reach their customers’ endpoints. Their protection service may leverage and integrate with domestic and international partners to gather intelligence and exercise defensive measures. Considering the sheer number of networks and systems managed by the telecom industry, they are uniquely positioned to help strengthen cyberspace. The telecom industry not only provides an organization with the means to secure their mobile and endpoint environment but also eliminates the need for extensive investment in security hardware and costs associated with maintenance and management. The telecom industry is suitably positioned to monitor the Internet pipe on a continuous basis thus providing better network uptime, zero latency and packet drop amongst many other advantages.

Staff Leader: Carlos Reyes

Please come participate to this workshop of the Identifier Technologies Health Indicators (ITHI) initiative run by the ICANN CTO office. We will discuss technical metrics associated with the health of the set of identifiers that ICANN helps coordinate. We will re-introduce the ITHI initiative presented at ICANN55, present the methodology we have chosen and where we are now. We will then have a panel of discussants reacting to some of the proposed area of work, followed by an open microphone discussion.

Continuous Data-driven Analysis of Root Stability (CDAR) is a research project investigating the technical impact of the New gTLD Program on the root server system. Representatives from the CDAR research consortium - TNO, SIDN, and NLnet Lab - will discuss their findings and solicit feedback on the draft report. They will also provide an update on additional streams of analyses to be completed before a final report is produced. This meeting might be of particular interest to members of the Root Server System and Security and Stability Advisory Committees, as well as community members interested in root system operations.
