PUBLIC SAFETY AND HOMELAND SECURITY BUREAU TO HOST 
PUBLIC WORKSHOP ON BORDER GATEWAY PROTOCOL SECURITY ON JULY 31, 2023
PS Docket No. 22-90
The security of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is central to the Internet’s global routing system.  By this Public Notice, the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) announces that it will host a public workshop on BGP Security on Monday, July 31, 2023, starting at 9:30 am EDT.  The event will build upon the robust record generated by the Commission’s Notice of Inquiry to identify and discuss existing and potential safeguards to address BGP security issues. 
The workshop will highlight the critical importance of addressing risks associated with BGP in light of the risk of consumer harm posed by unsecured Internet routing and explore effective security practices to mitigate these vulnerabilities.  The workshop will feature the perspectives from a variety of stakeholders on the actions that have been taken to improve BGP security and a discussion about the potential for future actions for enhancing BGP security.  For instance, the workshop will examine the viability of emerging BGP security advancements to address path validation and other approaches to lessen the risks currently inherent in interdomain routing.  The workshop will include an opportunity for attendees to engage directly with presenters.  
Registration is free and is open to the public as of the release of this Public Notice. Participants may attend this event either in person at 45 L St NE, Washington, DC 20554 in the Commission Meeting Room or remotely via videoconference.
