Development of new technologies and processes. VeriSign is developing next generation monitoring and response services that will help better manage .com and .net traffic and better protect the systems against cyber threats. The monitoring systems will rapidly diagnose Internet traffic anomalies, which often appear in advance of a cyber attack, enabling pre- emptive action to minimize impact. VeriSign will also implement new DNS security protocols to better protect Internet traffic. "Fortifying and strengthening our Internet infrastructure is very technical in nature, but its impact is not. Keeping the infrastructure reliable and secure keeps our economy working, our communications seamless and our government operations reliable," said Ken Silva, Chief Security Officer of VeriSign. "We believe that the Project Titan initiative is an important part of keeping the Internet a trusted platform and tool that we all rely upon."


VeriSign's current financial projections include the costs associated with Project Titan. For more information visit, www.verisign.com/titan.
