When we started the FORT project, RPKI was a relatively new protocol, so we have gained a lot of experience over the years. As a result, we decided to implement this optimization in the validator\u2019s code, which allows us to introduce more frequent updates and offer even greater stability to all network and system administrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But our work doesn&#8217;t end here. We also have a long list of improvements that we will be adding to the validator. We will be communicating these improvements as soon as they are implemented and ready for release to the community.&nbsp; In the third trimester of 2024, we will release more information about the new version of the validator, which will be our largest release since the launch of the first version.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jorge Cano, Senior Software Architect at LACNIC Cybersecurity is of the utmost importance to LACNIC.
