As part of our continued work to strengthen Internet Integrity, the Global Cyber Alliance team will participate in several important discussions and presentations during RIPE 92 next week in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Monday, 18 May, 9:30 – 12:30 (UTC +1)
Internet Integrity Workshop III: Residential Proxies
GCA is hosting the invitation-only parallel event “Internet Integrity Workshop III: Residential Proxies,” addressing an operational challenge: attacks originating from infected Internet infrastructure and impacting others at scale. A growing share of malicious activity, such as botnets, residential proxies, scanning, and exploitation, originates not from dedicated attacker infrastructure, but from compromised or misused legitimate networks. Participants will move beyond general discussion toward a more structured exploration of the issue and concrete next steps.
Tuesday, 19 May, 16:00 ‐ 17:30 (UTC +0100)
Residential Proxies and Infecting Infrastructure Working Session
In the Security WG section, Leslie Daigle will share findings from the Internet Integrity Workshop III during the Residential Proxies and Infecting Infrastructure Working Session, including key conclusions and practical next steps for improving detection, coordination, and harm reduction across the ecosystem.
Thursday, 21 May, 11:00 ‐ 12:30 (UTC +0100)
ASO AC Update
Andrei Robachevsky, in his role as a member of the Address Council of the Address Supporting Organization, will join the ASO AC Update session to discuss ongoing developments in Internet number resource policy and coordination.
There will also be a presentation on the status of the work to update the ICP-2 document at the Community Plenary (16:00 – 17:30, UTC+0100).
Thursday, 21 May, 14:00 ‐ 15:30 (UTC +0100)
Designing IoT Honeypots: Lessons from Seven Years of Architectural Challenges
In the IoT Working Group, Robert Thomas will present lessons learned from seven years of building ProxyPot, exploring the architectural challenges of designing effective honeypots across diverse Internet protocols and evolving attack surfaces.
Join Us
These conversations reflect the importance of collective action across the Internet community, from established topics like routing security to emerging concerns such as the growing abuse of network infrastructure. We look forward to collaborating with partners and stakeholders to advance practical, measurable improvements to Internet security.
RIPE meetings are where we often meet many of our key stakeholders in person and present our latest developments. This year, a new project-in-the-making we’re sharing is “Currents,” a future network security observatory inspired by our Internet Pollution Index. If you’ll also be in Edinburgh next week, please reach out to us to discuss any of these topics, or anything else!
