Meet your Egov Security Goals with a VIA3 Real-Time Solution

The Egov Act

The E-Government Act of 2002, signed by President George W. Bush, was designed to ensure that a greater focus was placed on the flow of information within federal agencies through technology. The egov act was signed to help protect the confidentiality of information being circulated internally and externally, improve public access to information services, consolidate redundant costs, and finally, to improve the information sharing and knowledge flow provided to the public.

To ensure all agencies adopted these egov mandates, the act included a comprehensive framework for information security standards, programs and uniform safeguards. It was up to each agency, however, to find ways to meet the requirements under the egov act or face penalties and fines. With many agencies short-staffed and under funded, they looked to vendors and suppliers to make the egov transition seamless.

Fortunately, VIACK® Corporation, a leading provider of secure online meetings and communications, had already addressed many of the egov concerns well before the mandate was issued. Its VIA3® Assured Collaboration Service offers a secure software & secure communication package that lowers travel and audio/video conferencing expenses, enhances productivity, and extends more responsive service to its clients.
