The SAFETY Act (Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act) of 2002 is part of the Homeland Security Act under Public Law 107-296. ==What is the SAFETY Act?== The SAFETY Act is a little-known and often misunderstood piece of legislation that can protect an entity from the truly "enterprise threatening" liability they could face following a terrorist event. This liability can come from an attack on their own facilities or an attack on a third party where products, technologies, advice or services were provided. The Act's protection can apply to a physical attack on persons or property or to acts of cyber-terrorism that cause physical and/or financial harm. The SAFETY Act was enacted by Congress as a part of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-296). SAFETY Act is actually an acronym for the section of the Homeland Security Act titled the “Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act”. The Act’s purpose is to ensure that the threat of potential liability suits does not limit or deter the development, manufacture, deployment, use or commercialization of products, technologies, procedures, software, system integration, advice and/or services that could prevent or mitigate a terrorist attack. The Act provides unprecedented immunities, liability protections, caps and other incentives for approved entities who use, supply, design, manufacture, provide or are otherwise involved in preventing, deterring, mitigating, responding to or recovering from a terrorism event. SAFETY Act protections apply to a certified act of terrorism when the qualified or "Designated" product, service or technology was used, deployed or otherwise alleged to be involved. The Act's protections can apply to "hard" products as well as to services, procedures, integration of multiple anti-terror tactics, overall facility protection, software, advice, etc. The law applies to products and services provided to, or used by, either the government or civilian sector. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act (SAFETY Act) of 2002」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
