Description
With the internet's ever-growing nature, the importance of cyber security is heavily emphasised in the modern network environment. Much is done to prevent and mitigate DDoS attacks, social engineering, and malware. Unfortunately, when it comes to the most essential protocol to any company looking to connect to the internet, about half of the time, security is overlooked. When any entity can advertise their ownership of any IP address, many types of malicious attacks from data sniffing to misdirection, to complete black holing of data can occur. By accident, or through malicious intent, the advertisement of incorrect routing information has been the cause of some of the internet's biggest outages and data leaks. It is a well-known fact that BGP is by nature unsecure. So why, then, do only 53% of companies that use the BGP protocol to peer with others and connect the internet try to secure it properly?
