In Episode 105 of the Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast Series, Dr. Dave Chatterjee is joined by Andrei Robachevsky - Technical Director of the Internet Integrity Program at the Global Cyber Alliance , founding contributor to MANRS (Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security), former CTO of RIPE NCC, and former Senior Director of Technology Programs at the Internet Society - to examine a cybersecurity risk that almost no enterprise security team is governing: the internet routing layer. Opening with the June 2024 Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 BGP hijack incident - where two Brazilian network operators’ routing mistakes propagated to over 300 networks across 70 countries, silently rerouting traffic for several hours without triggering a single enterprise security alert - Dr. Chatterjee frames the episode’s central challenge: organizations with excellent perimeter controls, clean firewalls, and healthy identity systems can still have their user traffic redirected to unintended destinations by failures occurring on networks they have never heard of, in countries they have no operations in, governed by routing norms they have never been asked to consider.
