Understanding ARIN: What Universities Need to Know About IP Address Governance and Network Security

Thursday, November 13, 2025 | 11:00AM–11:45AM ET
Session Type: Poster Session
Delivery Format: Virtual Poster Session
Universities are increasingly being approached by third-party IP brokers—often without fully understanding who governs their IPv4 space or the implications of their decisions. This session provides an essential education on ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers), the benefits of the ARIN Registration Services Agreement, and why RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure) is critical to your network’s integrity. You'll walk away prepared to make informed decisions about your university’s IPv4 address space.
