CableLabs has released a “Cybersecurity Framework Profile for Internet Routing” that serves as a foundation for improving the security of the internet’s routing system. The Routing Security Profile (RSP) was released during an event co-hosted with NCTA, featuring technical experts and key government officials.

The profile is an actionable and adaptable guide that enables Internet Service Providers (ISPs), enterprise networks, cloud service providers and organizations — large and small — to proactively identify risks and mitigate threats to enhance routing infrastructure security. Reliable and secure routing is essential for the connectivity of critical communications networks.

The RSP was developed as an extension of CableLabs’ and the cable industry’s longstanding leadership and commitment to building and maintaining a more secure internet ecosystem. It is aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and will evolve over time to reflect changes to the CSF, technological advances and the emerging security threat landscape.
