Security has been one of our organisation's strategic objectives for years. With the appointment of a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Belnet shifts to a higher gear in the area of information security.

RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure) is a way to improve Border Gateway Protocol security. An important nuance is that all internet service providers must implement this standard for it to be 100% effective.

If you are one of the 30 institutions that have expressed an interest, we would like to keep you as informed as possible about the progress of the various stages of the contract-awarding process.

Due to the current context and the uncertainty regarding the organisation of events between now and the end of 2020, we have decided to postpone the User Day, the networking event with the R&E Community and the Public Administration and the BNIX event.

Maddy Hennebert, head of the Belnet guestroam service at UAntwerpen, kindly shared with us her experience in contact with a solution that her university adopted 2 years ago.

When the coronavirus measures were first initiated, Belnet made a simple videoconferencing platform available to its community. The solution allows the community to securely meet and work together online. In the meantime, many users have found their ways to our Jitsi platform. We have noticed that dozens of meetings, both face-to-face as well as large groups, are taking place simultaneously on a regular basis.

Early March we contacted all Belnet customers to find out more about their events interests and preferences. The survey was a great success!
