“There is no central authority that controls the Internet. It’s shared values, shared principles of governance—that really is what holds the thread together.”
#ICANN on BBC #TechLife, explaining how the Internet really works, and what’s at stake.

The recent successful DNSSEC deployments by Burkina Faso (.BF) and Cameroon (.CM) are more than just national achievements; they represent a significant stride forward for the entire African Internet ecosystem. 🌍🔐
If you are an Internet user in the region, what does this mean for you? 🤔
By officially signing their zones and becoming DNSSEC operational, registries are contributing to:
▪️Regionally Enhanced Security: Each ccTLD that implements DNSSEC makes the Internet infrastructure more resilient against widespread attacks that could otherwise disrupt services.
▪️A Community of Progress: These deployments expand the cohort of African ccTLDs committed to robust Internet infrastructure, and demonstrate a powerful example to other registries across the globe.
It’s all about making the Internet secure and resilient. 🌍
