On Wednesday 15 April Rabobank, ING Bank, AMS-IX, NL-ix, ASP4ALL and Logius signed an accord making them members of the ‘Trusted Network Initiative’. The event took place at the Innovation Room hosted as part of the Cyber Security Week on the Campus of The Hague Security Delta.
Michel Rademaker, Chairman of The Trusted Networks Initiative, is pleased to welcome the first thirteen members. And he is expecting more members in the near future.
For the past several months, the Internet has had a new facility to prepare for extremely heavy DDoS attacks. The Trusted Networks Initiative makes it possible to temporarily close off part of the internet, while important websites still remain accessible to regular end users. This last resort Anti-DDoS solution is a newly developed additional mitigation approach, and is supported by many ICT stakeholders, all aiming to reduce the serious damage of these cyber attacks.
