Saudi Arabia ranks first in RPKI route validation with 99.8% activation
Saudi Arabia ranked first globally in activating RPKI Route Origin Validation, or RPKI RoV, with a rate of 99.8%.
The technology helps check that internet traffic is routed through authorized networks.
That can reduce the risk of traffic being sent to untrusted websites or online services.
The figure comes from APNIC's latest measurements, and Saudi Arabia’s Communications, Space and Technology Commission says it reflects efforts to adopt global best practices.
The country also ranks among the top five for IPv6 implementation and first among G20 countries for DNSSEC validation, two other measures of internet security.
The commission says these results reflect a more mature and reliable internet infrastructure, while sector efforts to improve the country’s internet ecosystem continue.
