As well as providing basic services, such as a multi-layer anti-spam application and a powerful anti-malware solution, Belnet Advanced Mail Security (BAMS) also offers a lot of new functionalities, including virus outbreak protection, sandbox analysis and identity-based encryption. What is more, generating reports, consulting real-time dashboards and managing the various settings of BAMS by means of a user-friendly web interface are simplicity itself.

Belnet is fully committed to protecting its customers even more effectively against possible online security problems. So from 1 February onwards, it will implement its Belnet Intelligent DNS and Belnet Threat Intelligence services in close collaboration with the Centre for Cyber security Belgium.

Both the Belnet network and the BNIX platform have experienced a truly remarkable year – largely because of the corona crisis. The crisis proved the vital importance of research, education, and collaboration. These are domains in which Belnet – as an IT partner for research centres, higher education, and government bodies – plays a pivotal role.

Belnet recently implemented RPKI as one of the first Belgian ISPs. In doing so, we contribute to the security of BGP routing and the internet in general. Invalid BGP routes (without certificate, or ROA) are now rejected, which means that Belnet helps thwarting BGP Hijacking.

In the summer of 2020, the CISOs of 5 French-speaking universities started a working group to share their experiences in the field of information security.
