Cómo Detener el Robo de IPs?

Today IPv4 depletion is increasing and so is IPv4 theft . The most notable IPv4 address theft case of the decade was the South African address theft, when millions of IPv4 addresses were stolen from the AFRINIC organization and sold on the second-hand market. This has shown how seriously IPv4 theft could impact the IP market. This incident has alerted the industry and we must avoid the same situation in the future.

IPv4 depletion is accelerating towards the transition to IPv6. However, there are challenges in implementing IPv6, companies are trying to use and receive as many IPv4 services as possible. The lack of IPv4 increases fraud and corruption, so it is important to increase the security of the IP market.

There are some ways we can adapt to avoid these types of incidents. First of all, pay more attention to resource management to avoid data leaks or undetected alterations. At the same time, increasing attention to transparent IP infrastructure and awareness of third-party networks can enhance security benefits and have greater control over resource management.

Second, adapting security infrastructure such as firewalls, attack detection, DDoS could also prevent this incident. These values allow networks to be less vulnerable to external threats, IP address providers must invest in information security to prevent the assignment of unauthorized IP addresses, according to AFRINIC. On top of that, an immutable IP framework and transparency will help track resources and identify suspicious behavior. To prevent attacks, IP address providers can leak addresses and register new clients and their related networks. structure _Simple and visible connections between vendors, customers, and third parties such as marketplace platforms are essential to ensure data security.

Third, get exposure for sensitive data. Knowing precisely what sensitive data you have and who you have access to is the first step in building a strong security posture. Using an automated data classification solution can help you deal with a large amount of data that is generated or updated on a daily basis. Also, monitor the behaviors of the employee or anyone who has access to sensitive data. Frankly speaking, people without malicious intent will also make major mistakes. Therefore, paying more attention to employee behaviors could prevent the error.

In addition, the company must have specific rules and legal reasons that can be used in situations of illegal use and assignment of addresses. Proactive legal actions and policies secure resources and help address the outcome of an actual crime.

From this incident, we realize that intellectual property theft and fraud is a crisis for the market and everyone should be aware of this. As a leading company in IPv4 solutions in the market, LARUS has a set of prevention and very strict measures in this area to protect the cleanliness and security of IP to ensure that our customers get the best service.
