FITIS to play major role in creating digital trust in Sri Lanka

THE Government of Sri Lanka is actively pursuing a mission to build digital trust, aiming to foster a secure, resilient, and ethically governed digital ecosystem.

This involves various initiatives focused on streamlining public services, and empowering citizens and businesses through digital technologies. In reaching this goal, Federation of Information Technology Industry Sri Lanka (FITIS - Digital Trust Chapter) underscored the urgent need to embed Digital Trust as a foundational pillar in Sri Lanka's Digital Transformation Roadmap. FITIS decided to actively engage in this mission at a Board Meeting held last week at FITIS Secretariat in Colombo.

The Digital Trust Chapter under FITIS aims to promote awareness, collaboration, and policy advocacy on issues such as cybersecurity, data protection, digital ethics, identity governance, and regulatory compliance. The Chapter brings together stakeholders from the public sector, private enterprises, academia, and civil society to build a secure and resilient digital future for the country.
