What is the first line of defense against BGP hijacking?

The correct answer is A. Know the baseline of normal traceroute information. Knowing what normal traffic looks like is the first line of defense. Training users to identify potentially hijacked sessions is predicated on being able to show users what normal traffic looks like. Injecting routes is what you are defending against.

Explanation

Knowing what normal traffic looks like is the first line of defense. Training users to identify potentially hijacked sessions is predicated on being able to show users what normal traffic looks like. Injecting routes is what you are defending against. Monthly routing table reports from your ISP may help to establish normal baseline but it is the first thing that would be done.
