Governing Infrastructure
Governing Infrastructure explores the shared responsibilities and technical agreements that keep the internet secure, fast, and reliable. It examines how private companies, standards bodies, and governments collaborate on cyber security using frameworks like NIST to identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover from threats. Additionally, it dives into how autonomous systems interconnect through physical locations, business agreements, and shared protocols like BGP and HTTPS. In short, understanding these hidden layers of cyber security and network interconnection reveals the collaborative efforts required to maintain a safe and functional global internet.
