Abstract:
ISP Security
Danny McPherson, Arbor Networks and Kevin Lanning, AT&T
Security incidents are a daily event for Internet Service Providers.
Attacks on an ISP's customers, attacks from an ISP's customer, worms,
BOTNETs, and attacks on the ISP's infrastructure are now one of many"security" NOC tickets throughout the day. This increase in the
volume and intensity of attacks has forced ISP's to spend constrained
resources to mitigate the effects of these attacks on their
operations and services. This investment has helped minimize the
effects of the attacks, but it has not helped stop them at the
source. Stopping attacks at their source requires rapid and effective
inter-ISP cooperation. Hence, these ISP Security BOFs are also used
as a face-to-face sync up meeting for the NSP-SEC forum.
Defined topics to be discussed during this ISP Security BOF include:
- Agenda Bashing
- Estonian Attack Overview - Merike Kaeo
- SP CALEA Issues; Challenges & Future - Chris Morrow (moderator)
- ISPs and CPE/Consumer-side Protection & Mitigation
- February 6/7, 2007 DNS Attack Recap - John Kristoff
- Quarterly Attack Statistics Update - Danny McPherson
- Open Discussion
