On Tuesday, it announced at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes, France, a suite of new and upgraded products and services designed to help telecommunications carriers tie their networks together while providing the necessary security.
"No industry needs to go global faster than communications," Vernon Irvin, executive vice president of VeriSign Communication Services, said in a statement. "But ironically, since networks were built locally rather than globally, no industry is going global more slowly than communications. We have come to Cannes to tell carriers we can help them make next-generation integrated global communications real."
Wireless technology is changing the way people work and communicate. But companies face challenges in making sure that the connections within networks are secure. VeriSign said its new product suite provides tools to make this happen.
Here's a summary of its recent announcements:
VeriSign said it's committed to helping carriers solve the interoperability issues associated with connecting distinct mobile networks together, but it's also developing new security offerings to make wireless communications safer to use.
Earlier this week, the company unveiled at the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco a series of new products aimed at improving authentication across a variety of devices. While these announcements weren't specifically aimed at mobile carriers, they are related to issues surrounding mobile devices, data roaming and Wi-Fi security.
