Episode Description
Today on the podcast, the conversation focused on cross-industry collaboration to improve security and abuse response in the hosting industry. We talk about the Internet Infrastructure Forum (IIF), a platform-agnostic initiative aiming to facilitate real-time intelligence sharing among hosts, registrars, and others. We also get into the importance of sharing actionable data to combat issues like fake shops, and how smaller hosts especially benefit. We explored challenges around legalities, trust, and scaling participation, as well as the role of trust seals for hosts demonstrating commitment to secure practices.
