In today's digital world, government agencies are increasingly being targeted by cyberattacks. To defend itself more effectively against this, the Chancellery of the Prime Minister called upon Belnet's expertise to implement DNS Anycast Premium. David Van Dromme, Service Manager ICT Infrastructure, and Jan Kerstens, Enterprise Architect, share their experiences while implementing this solution and discuss the benefits of DNS Anycast Premium.

Since 2016, Belnet has been connecting the Federal Scientific Institutions (FSIs) with the internet and each other using the ScienceMAN network. One of the best known member organisations is undoubtedly the Royal Meteorological Institute (RMI).

The Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) called upon Belnet's expertise to host its podcast service 'EZcast'. We spoke to Michel Jansens and Fatima El Fakih from the SISC (Shared ICT Services Center of the ULB-VUB) about the successful collaboration.

Thanks to the technology developed by the Institute of Astronomy and the high-performance Belnet connection, (future) astronomers will be able to continue their research from 3,000 kilometres away during the COVID-19 crisis. Belnet spoke with Prof. Hans Van Winckel, Head of Astronomy at the KU Leuven.
