Enabling Secure Commerce, Communication and
Collaboration for Government
It is no longer
government as usual. Challenged by the need to change the way that critical
services are managed and delivered to the public, while simultaneously
ensuring the protection of privacy, successful E-Government and Homeland
Security initiatives must increasingly rely on the promise of digital
technology to achieve their organisational missions.
Ironically, while
technology - most notably the Internet - is clearly part of the solution,
it presents its own set of challenges and vulnerabilities. As government
organisations increasingly take advantage of the Internet, mobile computing,
and electronic transactions as a means of meeting mission objectives,
they must also address the dramatically increased security risks.
As the leading provider
of Security
Services, VeriSign is deeply involved in all aspects of global
discussions about the appropriate regulation and recognition of electronic
security measures, including digital signatures and related tools for
electronic authentication. The company participates actively in statutory
and regulatory activities of national and local government, foreign
governments and international organisations, such as the US Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) and federal E-Sign Act regulatory
regimes, the European Commission and the United Nations Commission on
International Trade Law (UNCITRAL). VeriSign's comprehensive critical
infrastructure and cyber-security solutions ensure government's ability
to provide secure mission-critical commerce, communication and collaboration.
