Geolocation was never built into the original design of the internet, yet today, it’s the backbone of fraud prevention, compliance, and localized routing. At NANOG 97, MaxMind’s Senior Product Manager, Luna, is joining a powerhouse panel to discuss "The State of the Map." Alongside experts from TELUS, Amazon Web Services (AWS), IPinfo, ARIN, and Comcast, they will dive into how we harmonize operator-declared data with inference-based models. Join us on June 2, 2026 at 10am. We look forward to seeing you there! https://lnkd.in/gFSvYFHn #NANOG97 #IPIntelligence

Many organizations treat all traffic the same, applying high-friction verification to every single user. The result? High latency, frustrated customers, and wasted budget on screening low-risk traffic. The secret to a smarter compliance stack isn't more verification—it's better filtering. In our latest blog, we explore how IP intelligence acts as a high-speed "front line" filter. By using data points like is_anonymous and subdivision confidence, you can: ✅ Automate low-risk interactions to reduce friction.  ✅ Reserve expensive, manual verification for truly high-risk cases.  ✅ Stay ahead of shifting OFAC sanctions and disputed regions. Here's how to build a risk-based compliance infrastructure with IP Intelligence: https://lnkd.in/gs8KP_6i #OFAC #Compliance

Your IP data is only as good as its delivery. 🚀 Integrating IP intelligence into your stack is a big decision. Beyond just accuracy, have you considered how a vendor’s infrastructure affects your uptime and security? We’ve put together 11 questions you must ask any IP data provider to ensure a seamless and safe partnership. Key highlights include: ✅ Service Disruptions: Will a vendor outage crash your local services?  ✅ Security Audits: What security audits does the organization undergo and is privacy part of their compliance? ✅ Usage Limitations: Are there hidden contractual restrictions that limit how you can actually use the data? 📖 Read the full guide here: https://lnkd.in/gYd-eTyj

What’s the #1 question we’re hearing at RSAC Conference 2026? 🎤 It’s not just about "where" a user is anymore. It’s about the prevalence of anonymizers and how they cloud the identity of the connection. The most common conversation at our meetups last week in San Francisco has been: “How do we detect an Account Takeover attempt when the login appears to come from a clean, residential IP in the user's home city?” To stay secure in 2026, you can't just block all anonymous traffic—you need to understand the nuances of the type of anonymizer being used. We’ve put together a deep dive into the different types of anonymous IPs and how they impact your business. Read the full breakdown here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gCr83j5p

We just wrapped up an incredible time at NANOG, and the conversations were a powerful reminder: the bridge between data providers and network operators is built on communication, not just code. For years, geolocation has felt like a "black box" for network operators. When data is wrong, users suffer, and engineers get frustrated. We’re changing that with GeoIP® Exchange. It’s more than a tool—it’s a feedback mechanism designed to:  ✅ Give operators visibility into how we see their networks.  ✅ Automate low-value correction cycles. Are you a network operator looking for better visibility into your geolocation data? We want to help you reduce discrepancies and ensure your users are seeing the right data at the right time. 👉 Let’s talk. Comment below or visit the page to learn how you can leverage GeoIP® Exchange to streamline your network's geolocation. 👉 Learn more about GeoIP® Exchange here: https://lnkd.in/eEb8jPwK Looking ahead to the next opportunity to connect! #NANOG #NetworkOperations #GeoIP
