Speaker

Lefteris Manassakis (Code BGP)

Description

In this presentation, we focus on BGP security using the Code BGP platform. We start with an introduction to the various types of BGP hijacks and route leaks and the challenges related to detecting BGP anomalies. We explain how the Code BGP Platform leverages multiple data sources and GraphQL subscriptions to detect BGP events of interest. We present two exact prefix hijack events against root DNS prefixes that took place a month ago. Finally, we do a live demo of configuring alert rules, doing actual announcements on the Internet and detecting hijacks.
