The BCOP Forum addresses best operational and security practices on the Internet. At the event, the "BCOP Challenge" awards will be presented, recognizing the networks that stand out in 2026 in implementing good operational and security practices, such as the use of the IPv6 protocol, antispoofing, MANRS and KinDNS practices, etc. The measurements for the challenge, whose rules will soon be available at https://bcp.nic.br/desafiobcop/, will take place between September and November, with the ranking of participants published on the PAS (AS Portal, available at https://pas.nic.br).
The event will also feature presentations on topics related to network automation, and other operational and security best practices recommended on the Best Practices portal: https://bcp.nic.br/ and in NIC.br's BCOP courses.
