ENABLING SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, POLITICAL AND IT ALIGNMENT
People want technology that solves real world problems. End to End Trust cannot be realized through technology alone. Technology innovation must also align with social, economic, political and IT forces to enable change by working with partners and the ecosystem and address continuing and emerging online scenarios, including ID theft, online fraud and child safety.
