VeriSign servers, now in 20 regional centers around the world, will be
expanded to 70 sites. The effort would not only improve response time, the
company said, but would also make it possible to diagnose and contain
Internet attacks more quickly.

VeriSign profits indirectly from the growth of Internet traffic from its
business managing the .com and .net domains.

In addition to resisting cyber attacks, the enhancement of the root server
system is made necessary by the rapid growth in new types of Internet
devices, many of which can communicate among themselves without direct
human intervention.
