  • In recent months, many of you have no doubt noticed the increasing trend towards attacks directed at routers. In the wake of this summer's "CIscogate" disclosures at the Black Hat security conference, community interest in router and switch security has redoubled. Many more people than ever before are openly poking at Cisco IOS, and interested in Juniper and other routing vendors has also increased. Athough backbone security has been a concern of ISPs for years, many of the same security lessons apply to smaller networks, corporated networks, and other devices closer to the edge. This article will discuss best practices ans mitigation strategies for savvy backbone defense and will give practical guidelines that you can implement on your networks to secure them against commons attacks.
