This month, BNIX (Belgian National Internet eXchange) celebrates its 25th anniversary. BNIX was set up in 1995 by Belnet and started at the time - as the Internet was slowly emerging - with six participants and one Point of Presence. 25 years later, 58 participants are connected to the platform and BNIX has three Points of Presence (Interxion in Zaventem, LCL in Diegem and CenturyLink in Evere).

E-mail security is crucial, given that the vast majority of all malware is installed via e-mail attachments. E-mail is also the most commonly used gateway for ransomware. This is why Belnet decided earlier this year to replace ‘Antispam Pro’ with a more advanced e-mail security platform. To this end, it entered into a partnership with Fortinet, one of the market leaders in the field of security.
