The pressure to keep your network clean is increasing. Systems and networks of digital infrastructure providers are vulnerable and a popular target for abuse, for example, by cybercriminals. Furthermore, legislation and regulations, such as the EU Cybersecurity Act and the Digital Services Act (DSA), stipulate that, as a provider, you must take concrete action to combat abuse on your networks. Therefore, Clean Networks initiative consists of the following:
The Code of Conduct
The Code of Conduct for Abuse Prevention is widely supported within the Dutch internet sector and involves stakeholders. The Code of Conduct helps providers take effective measures against abuse, such as a know your customer policy, applying the Code of Conduct notice and takedown, and a general, recognizable email address for abuse reports that is read daily.
By signing, you demonstrate your commitment to the standards set out in the code of conduct. As a signatory, you will also immediately receive the starter pack with explanations, templates, and self-checks. The latter is important to ultimately obtain the Clean Networks Quality Mark. This quality mark distinguishes providers in the market from those without a clear abuse policy.
The Clean Networks Quality Mark
Have you signed the code of conduct? Then you can also obtain the Clean Networks Quality Mark. Parties that have the quality mark distinguish themselves from other providers by actively implementing an anti-abuse policy. In addition, there is a visible trend in the procurement policy of, for example, governments to give preference to providers with such a quality mark over providers that do not have it.
The Threat Intelligence Platform
Besides the Code of Conduct, Clean Networks consists of a technical platform. Through this platform, information about security vulnerabilities and abuse is automatically distributed among participants. These notifications are tailored to individual participants so they can act specifically.
Because the platform is developed specifically for digital infrastructure providers, the information provided is tailored to this sector.
NBIP also collaborates within the framework of Clean Networks with the National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) and the Ministry of Justice & Security.
