FCC Proposes BGP Security Mandates

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is taking proactive steps to address critical vulnerabilities in internet infrastructure by targeting the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), a fundamental element of internet routing. This initiative, set to be voted on by the FCC, is aimed at bolstering security measures among the top U.S. broadband providers, including industry giants like AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon. BGP, serving as the backbone of internet communication, lacks intrinsic security protocols, making it susceptible to exploitation by cyber threats. The proposed regulations mandate these providers to develop comprehensive BGP security risk management plans, ensuring regular updates and the implementation of measures to uphold route-origin authorizations.

The urgency of fortifying internet communication against potential threats is underscored by FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, who highlights the significance of safeguarding digital networks from exploitation. With the proposed rules, the FCC seeks to mitigate risks associated with BGP vulnerabilities, a crucial step in ensuring the integrity and security of internet traffic. Stakeholders and the public are encouraged to contribute feedback on these regulations, recognizing the collective effort needed to address cybersecurity challenges effectively. This initiative aligns with the broader national cybersecurity strategy released in 2023, signaling a concerted effort to fortify the technical underpinnings of the internet.

In recent years, real-world incidents underscored the gravity of BGP vulnerabilities, with notable disruptions such as Facebook’s global outage in October 2021 attributed, in part, to BGP routing failures. These incidents serve as stark reminders of the potential ramifications of unchecked vulnerabilities within internet infrastructure. By addressing these vulnerabilities through proactive regulation, the FCC aims to enhance the resilience of internet networks against potential threats. This initiative reflects a proactive approach to cybersecurity governance, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between regulatory bodies, industry stakeholders, and the broader public in safeguarding critical digital infrastructure.
