Behind the internet’s daily operation lies a complex system of coordination between technical communities, organizations, businesses, and public institutions. This course explores how governance models, cybersecurity frameworks, shared protocols, and global agreements help keep digital networks secure, resilient, and interconnected.
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.
This course was developed by the Internet Society (ISOC), a global nonprofit organization that promotes the open development, evolution, and use of the internet. ISOC works with communities, experts, and institutions around the world to support an internet that is open, globally connected, secure, and trustworthy.
All our courses offer:
This course provides a practical introduction to the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), the routing protocol that enables communication between networks across the Internet. Starting with the fundamental concepts of IP prefixes and Autonomous Systems, learners will explore how BGP exchanges routing information, how routers establish neighbor relationships, and how routes are propagated between networks.
The Internet is becoming a bigger target than ever for attacks. Attacks will continue to strike, and a single attack can dramatically slow down the Internet. Learn more about how Blackholing at Internet Exchanges can stop the malicious traffic.
This module serves as an introduction to data centers: what they are, how they power our digital world, key terms and definitions, the people and processes behind them, and more. It provides the essential foundation needed to build your understanding as you explore deeper into the industry.
