Managed Security Services (“MSS”).    Our MSS services enable enterprises to effectively monitor and manage their network security infrastructure on a 24x7 basis while reducing the associated time, expense, and personnel commitments by relying on VeriSign’s security platform and experienced security staff. Our MSS services include:

 

  •   Managed Firewall Service.    Our Managed Firewall Service provides enterprises with management and monitoring of firewalls. Our security engineers and program managers stage the firewall devices and test them prior to deployment; once deployed, devices are monitored 24x7. Ongoing device management services include refinement of security policies, software patches and upgrades, and quarterly security consultations.

 

  •   Managed Intrusion Detection Service.    Our Managed Intrusion Detection Service provides management and monitoring of intrusion detection sensors, designed to identify and counter malicious security events or potential attacks against an organization’s network.

 

  •   Managed Virtual Private Network (“VPN”) Service.    Our Managed VPN Service delivers encrypted site-to-site and remote access IPsec-compliant tunnel solutions for Internet-based network computing environments.

 

  •   Managed Vulnerability Protection Service.    Our Managed Vulnerability Protection Service provides customized protection against exploitable vulnerabilities by providing up-front risk assessment and recurring vulnerability scanning, vulnerability testing and penetration testing.

 

  •   Email Security and Anti-Phishing Services.    Using our Email Security Service, an enterprise’s in-bound email is redirected to VeriSign’s security infrastructure and checked for spam and malicious code such as viruses and worms. Legitimate mail is passed through to employees while suspicious emails are quarantined. Periodic digests of quarantined emails are sent to employees to review and accept or reject as appropriate. Our Anti-Phishing Solution provides enterprises effective strategies for mitigating and eliminating “phishing” attempts by providing services for the prevention, detection, and response to, and recovery from, phishing attacks.

 

Global Security Consulting Services.    Our Global Security Consulting Services help enterprises assess, design, and deploy cost-effective and scalable network security solutions. Our consulting services are also available to help enterprises integrate our PKI services with existing applications and databases and advise on policies and procedures related to the management and deployment of digital certificates.

 

Authentication Services.    Our Authentication Services include our Managed PKI Services, Managed PKI Fast Track Services and Unified Authentication that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of enterprises that wish to issue digital certificates to employees, customers or trading partners.

 

  •   Managed PKI Services.    The Managed PKI Service is a managed service that allows an organization to use our trusted data processing infrastructure to develop and deploy customized digital certificate services for its user communities. The Managed PKI Service can be used by our customers to provide digital certificates for a variety of applications, such as: controlling access to sensitive data and account information, enabling digitally-signed email, encryption of email, or Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) sessions. The Managed PKI Service can help customers create an online electronic trading community, manage supply chain interaction, facilitate and protect online credit card transactions or enable access to virtual private networks.

 

  •   Managed PKI Fast Track Services.    Managed PKI Fast Track is a set of software modules that enable enterprises to quickly build digital certificate-based security into their transaction and communication applications. Managed PKI Fast Track Services complement our Managed PKI Service and are designed to incorporate digital certificates into existing applications such as email, browser, directory and virtual private network devices as well as other devices.

 

  •  

Unified Authentication Services.    Unified Authentication provides a single, integrated platform for provisioning and managing all types of strong, two-factor authentication credentials used to validate

users, devices or applications for a variety of purposes, such as remote access, windows logon, and Wi-Fi access. Unified Authentication supports strong authentication using smart cards, device-generated one-time passwords and digital certificates, as well as PKI-based encryption, digital signing and non-repudiation. Unified Authentication can be run at the enterprise or through VeriSign’s infrastructure.

 

  •   VeriSign Affiliate PKI Software and Services.    VeriSign Affiliate PKI Software and Services are sold to a wide variety of entities that provide electronic commerce and communications services over wired and wireless Internet Protocol, or IP, networks. We designate these types of organizations as “VeriSign Affiliates” and provide them with a combination of technology, support and marketing services to facilitate their initial deployment and ongoing delivery of digital certificate services. In some instances, we have invested in VeriSign Affiliates and hold a minority interest of less than 20%.

 

VeriSign Affiliates typically enter into a multi-year technology licensing agreement with us whereby we receive up-front licensing fees for the Service Center or Processing Center technology, as well as ongoing royalties from each digital certificate or the Managed PKI Service sold by the VeriSign Affiliate.
