Vision Statement
To enable success in today's business environment, which is dependant upon the ability to collaborate and do business, by enabling the secure flow of data over the Internet, principally through:
- Universal standards for cross-organizational security processes and services
- Products that conform to open security standards and profiles
- Assurance processes that, when used in one organization, can be trusted by others
Note: The Jericho Forum is business-driven, but recognizes that the issues it tackles affect all types of organization and individuals. Issues such as privacy and civil liberty can be just as important as the needs of the corporate.
Mission Statement
Jericho Forum members will, as a group, influence and impact solutions that will enable secure and cost-effective business collaboration over the Internet by:
- Defining the problem and directions for solutions
- Communicating the collective vision
- Challenging constraints and creating an environment for innovation
- Demonstrating the market needs
- Influencing future products and standards
Note: The Jericho Forum does not intend to become a security standards development group, but will encourage established relevant standards groups to extend existing standards and produce new standards where there are gaps to fill.
