The answer to this question is not as difficult as I thought at first. No one can get it perfectly. Cyber security is alive and as the attackers change how they approach; Total we must change to meet these attacks. Having a security team is best if all the team members are vigilant and stay on top of new trends and avenues of attack and respond accordingly. If money hasn't been the solution, what is? Training and awareness are the only solutions that will help when speaking of security. As stated above, being aware of your network and the vulnerabilities it has is crucial. This goes hand in hand with staying vigilant of new threats and avenues of attack and making changes to the network to adjust for these changes. 2nd Response 3-1 Discussion Chauncey Sims In analyzing the resource Security of IP Routing Protocols question "if these companies had such a hard time getting it perfect, what chance does anyone else have?", I had to use my experience both in cybersecurity learning and as a former police officer. The answer is clear, perfection is an elusive goal. You can't buy perfection which eliminates money as the solution, and for every IDS intrusion detection tool or technique, there are multiple hackers that spend hours seeking exploit techniques to subvert them. This makes protection perfection next to impossible. I believe that the reason for this reality is that security, monitoring, responses all have an imperfect element, humans. Technology is an ever growing and evolving entity that can change from state-of-the-art to antiquated overnight. The best anyone can hope for during this evolution is mitigation and minimization, as perfection is next to impossible. To underscore the challenge of achieving perfection, consider the United States, boasting the world's wealthiest economy (Forbes India, 2024) and spending over $190 billion in law enforcement. Despite these significant resources, the notion of perfection in preventing crime and ensuring citizen security is knowingly false. The best that can be realistically accomplished is the mitigation and minimization of criminal activities. Having made the case for perfection being impossible, organizations and small businesses can adopt a combination of technical solutions, best practices, and continued monitoring as a part of their financial investments in securing Ip routing protocols. This includes but is not limited to: Authentication mechanisms - protocols such as BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) Encryption of routing protocols (IPsec) — an added layer of security Network Segmentation - creating different security zones to contain security breaches. Security Training and Awareness to address the human factor and prevent social engineering. By implementing this combination of IP routing protocols companies can effectively minimize and mitigate their infrastructure's vulnerability to potential threats and attacks.
