[IMG: Close shot of people’s hands scrolling through their smartphones symbolizing safe online usage.]

[H5] Promoting Online Safety

We work to make the global internet community safer by supporting organizations that address online harms and promote responsible online behavior.

[IMG: Group of diverse employees sitting at a table laughing during a meeting with a whiteboard in the background.]

[H5] Making a Difference

Verisign seeks to contribute to meaningful and ongoing improvement by supporting organizations dedicated to addressing societal challenges and strengthening society. Through Verisign Cares, Verisign has supported and continues to support a number of organizations involved in this work.

[H2] Employee Volunteerism and Giving

Verisign supports employees’ public service and community giving efforts.

[IMG: A gray icon of a righthand holding a circle with a blue dollar sign in the middle to symbolize a coin.]

[H3] Matching Funds

We match each employee’s charitable giving to qualified charities and non-profits, up to $3,000 per year. To date, Verisign employees have contributed to over 700 organizations.

[IMG: An icon of a gray shopping bag with multiple food items sticking out of the top of the bag and drawn in blue.]

[H3] Donation Drives

Verisign and its employees regularly organize drives for populations who are adversely impacted by crisis, whether environmental, economic or, most recently, pandemic-related. Some of our efforts include school supply, food, winter coats and holiday gift drives.

[IMG: An icon of two opposite raised hands with a larger black outlined hand next to a smaller blue outlined hand.]

[H3] Volunteerism

The Verisign Volunteer Program encourages employees to give their time in support of local community organizations. Verisign employees can dedicate one paid workday per quarter to volunteer and serve their communities.

[IMG: A professional man wearing a headset sitting in front of multiple computer screens.]

[H2] Internet Stewardship
Verisign donates key technical innovation to make the internet safer.
[H3] Supporting the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s Vital Mission

Verisign technologists developed a software tool that makes it easier to find the source of Domain Name System Abuse, so abusive content and material (like phishing, malware, and child sexual abuse material) can be more quickly addressed.

The software automatically scours publicly available databases and graphs all possible points of contact for an abusive domain, while also prioritizing for users the most effective likely take down path, looking at registry, registrar, hosting, Content Delivery Network, and other points of contact. In 2023, Verisign donated this tool to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children as part of a larger, long-term partnership with the organization.

About Verisign

What Does Verisign Do?
Verisign performs a critical — yet largely invisible — role: executing key functions that help maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the Domain Name System (DNS) and the internet. This behind-the-scenes work helps ensure that people across the globe can connect online anytime, anywhere.

Explore What We Do

[IMG: Play What We Do video.]

[H3] Enabling the World to Connect

Verisign, a global provider of critical internet infrastructure and domain name registry services, enables internet navigation for many of the world's most recognized domain names.

Verisign helps enable the security, stability, and resiliency of the Domain Name System (DNS) and the internet by providing root zone
maintainer services, operating two of the 13 global internet root servers, and providing registration services and authoritative
resolution for the .com and
.net top-level domains, which support the majority of global e-commerce.

[H2] Unparalleled Resiliency, Availability, and Accuracy

Our proprietary DNS registration infrastructure and tools are built for dependability amidst an ever-evolving cyberthreat environment.

Verisign has provided uninterrupted resolution services for the
.com
and
.net
top-level domains since 1997.

[IMG: Two business people standing and working together with a laptop and clipboard as they monitor a data server in glass cases.]

[H2] Collaborating at Global Scale

As the internet’s root zone maintainer and manager of two of the world’s 13 root servers, we are committed to leadership in
maintaining the effective function and role of the DNS, working with government regulators, the Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers (ICANN), industry groups, and law enforcement authorities to combat DNS-related security threats and illegal activity.

Community Collaboration

[H2] Internet Stewardship
Under our Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce, the .com registry must remain content neutral - ensuring equal access to .com domain names for all legal website content, regardless of viewpoint. The Cooperative Agreement also underscores ICANN's high specifications for operational performance, as set out in the .com Registry Agreement.
No other registry has such wide-ranging obligations to the global internet community. Subject to satisfying these obligations, we perform the more visible aspects of our business, providing registry services for .com and our other popular TLDs.
We manage relationships with approximately 3,000 ICANN-accredited registrars who typically submit more than 100 million domain name transactions daily and we are committed to investing in our DNS infrastructure to meet ever growing demand, as global internet engagement continues to grow. Verisign operates a proprietary DNS registration infrastructure and toolset that is built for dependability in an ever-increasing cyber threat environment.
We share our expertise in evolving trends by making data about the .com and .net zones publicly available, and actively contribute to community policy and internet standards development.

[IMG: Two colleagues hold a laptop while looking at a data server.]

[H3] Defined by Our Mission

Our impact extends beyond the critical internet infrastructure we operate to include our communities throughout the world, our employees, and how we operate every aspect of our business. We hold ourselves to a higher standard in all that we do.
