<description><![CDATA[Jersey City, NJ, November 19, 2008 - Since 1998, Comodo CA has been a global leader in Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions. As a Certificate Authority, Comodo issues digital certificates that secure SSL communications for hundreds of thousands of global businesses and individuals worldwide.According to Web analytics firm Netcraft, Comodo now controls in excess of 25% of the business-validated SSL certificate market, securing its position as the world's second largest High Assurance Certification Authority.Business-validated SSL certificates are commonly used by enterprises and e-merchants to provide both security and authentication to websites. Business-validated SSL certificates are only issued to verified entities, to help ensure that the data is only being transmitted to real businesses. Comodo has also seen considerable growth in the Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate sector and, again according to Netcraft, is the second largest provider of EV SSL Certificates.Enterprises and e-merchants continue to experience a significant and growing need for high assurance certificates to combat the prevalence of online phishing attacks and to provide reassurance of their credentials to their customers. Besides strong demand for its products, Comodo also boasts a robust partner distribution network and direct sales channels. The company supports its direct customers and end users with innovative products such as Extended Validation and Unified Communications Certificates, as well as longer certificate terms and enterprise certificate management tools.&quot;Business validated certificates form the basis for consumer trust and security on the Internet&quot; said Melih Abdulhayoglu, Chief Security Architect and CEO of Comodo. &quot;While domain-only validated certificates have a role in securing data transmission for certain applications, they are really not appropriate for e-merchant or other applications where authentication is appropriate and necessary. Our marketplace success with business validated certificates reflects our corporate focus on delivering solutions that provide high levels of both trust and security.&quot;About ComodoThe Comodo companies provide the infrastructure that is essential in enabling e-merchants, other Internet-connected companies, software companies, and individual consumers to interact and conduct business via the Internet safely and securely.

<description><![CDATA[Provides better protection at a fraction of the administrative cost of decentralized solutions, or the licensing cost of competing enterprise security software.Jersey City, NJ, November 18, 2008 - In the current economic crisis, most companies look to reduce costs to balance out lower revenues. Gartner Consulting, an independent business technology research firm, recently released a study urging IT professionals to reduce their own costs by consolidating IT services.Comodo Endpoint Security Manager (ESM) is a centralized, PC endpoint security solution that aligns with both of these recommendations. First, particularly for small organizations or workgroups which have yet to centralize their endpoint security management, Comodo Endpoint Security Manager delivers high levels of efficiency as well as exceptional PC endpoint and network security, freeing IT staff to address other critical tasks. Managing PC security one user at a time is both a significant drain on IT staff resources and a recipe for increased security risk. Second, for organizations of any size, licensing Comodo's solution is generally 50% less expensive than they are likely to be paying for a traditional endpoint security solution such as those from McAfee or Symantec.Importantly, Comodo's solution includes Comodo Firewall Pro, a revolutionary security software that has transformed the basis of endpoint security from the flawed, 25-year old detection approach employed by traditional PC security software. Comodo's focus is on prevention - one that actually keeps malware from gaining access to PC system resources in the first place.Comodo Firewall Pro recognizes more than 1,114,000 known safe executables, and its Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) challenges those it doesn't know. HIPS monitors and controls all execution paths and prevents malware from executing.Together, CESM and Firewall Pro, protect endpoints more dynamically and comprehensively than ever before.Whether a company is looking to reduce costs, increase IT staff efficiency, improve PC endpoint and network security or all three, Comodo Endpoint Security Manager and Comodo Firewall Pro deliver a superior solution.For more information, visit http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/enterprise/index.htmlAbout ComodoThe Comodo companies provide the infrastructure that is essential in enabling e-merchants, other Internet-connected companies, software companies, and individual consumers to interact and conduct business via the Internet safely and securely.

<description><![CDATA[Jersey City, NJ, October 09, 2008 - According to a recent study from the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, most wireless connections at hotels are still unsecure. Wi-Fi users at hotels are at risk of &quot;man-in-the-middle&quot; attacks that can mislead patrons into giving out sensitive information. In unsecured networks, users risk hacker tampering with unencrypted emails and web exchanges. In the spirit of National Cyber Security Awareness Month, Comodo Security Solutions, Inc. reminds concerned Wi-Fi users that its TrustConnect service allows laptop owners to take network security into their own hands and keep their connection secure, no matter what network they use.TrustConnect, which works on Windows, Mac and even Linux OSes, uses an SSL certificate to create a Virtual Private Network (VPN). This VPN allows TrustConnect to essentially put a shield around the user's connection to the Internet, preventing hackers from accessing the protected system while on a public wireless connection. This protection extends no matter what network users are logged onto, be it in a hotel, on the road, or anywhere else.With a 7-day free trial and affordable monthly and annual rates, TrustConnect from Comodo is one of the most secure, reliable services available to assure users that they are protected, no matter what network they are connected to. Hotels may have to catch up on their network security, but laptop owners don't have to wait for them.About ComodoThe Comodo companies combine security and authentication technologies to shape a new paradigm-the Trusted Internet-where people worldwide use the Internet confidently in their personal and professional lives. Comodo was founded in 1998 with a passion to create trust online. With that bold vision, Comodo consistently delivers innovative patent-pending technologies that free people to trust their online connections in education, philanthropy and commerce.More than 250,000 businesses, and millions of consumers, benefit from Comodo's trust infrastructure with a broad array of security and authentication technologies encompassing encryption, digital certification, identity and access services, PKI, secure communications, desktop security solutions and vulnerability management services.For additional information on Comodo - Creating Trust Onlinea4 visit http://www.comodo.comFor more information, reporters and analysts may contact:Katharine HadowComodo--Creating Trust Online+1 (201) 963 0004 x4073Email: media-relations@comodo.com<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[TrustConnect delivers a flexible, secure approach to surfing the Internet that lets users create a Virtual Private Network whenever they need it.Jersey City, NJ (May 29, 2008) - Comodo, a leading communication security company, today announced the launch of TrustConnect, a new service that protects users from hackers who often use public networks to illegally procure sensitive and private information. With TrustConnect, users can create a virtual private network to quickly connect to the Internet through a Comodo secure server and encrypt network traffic before it leaves their computers. This service is highly flexible and gives users the ability to create secure wireless sessions wherever and whenever they want.The use of public networks continues to grow as they offer more convenient access to the Internet. However, when users go onto public or &quot;open&quot; WiFi networks, they often are not secure and are vulnerable to hackers.

Comodo TrustConnect provides an additional layer of security by encrypting all data that is being transported during the wireless session making conversations virtually impenetrable to hackers.Comodo TrustConnect offers a number of key features and competitive differentiators including:    * All data transported during a TrustConnect session, whether on a public or unsecured session, will be encrypted.    * Users have the flexibility to create a one-time secure session anywhere and anytime they need it    * Flexible plans give users the ability to purchase the service on a daily, weekly or monthly plan    * Service plans start at $ 3.99 for a day pass and $49.99 for an annual subscription&quot;We are expanding our offerings to protect people when using the Internet on unsecured wireless networks,&quot; explains Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo. &quot;The TrustConnect technology provides encryption capabilities that protect mobile and wireless Internet sessions from being hacked.

For a limited time (until June 10), this service is available free of charge, with no fees or hidden charges whatsoever - no catches, no kidding.Over time, a computer's performance tends to slow because of all of the extraneous files and programs that are on a machine.

Users are left helpless when programs slow, or worse, when they freeze, crash or present a security threat. When a user registers for the PC Tune Up service, Comodo Security Experts remotely access the user's machine via a remote chat connection, personally scanning and removing potentially unwanted programs that can slow down the performance of PCs or make it unstable. Comodo's experts will also clear up hard disk space by deleting unnecessary files, making a user's PC run faster.The Tune Up Services Include:    * Scan, detection and removal of viruses, Trojans, rootkits and other security threats    * Clearing hard disk space by removing extraneous files    * Optimizing and configuring the user's system for top performance    * Increasing the user's overall PC speed    * 100% free service (limited time offer)&quot;To build a trusted Internet, all users need technologies to keep their computers clean of malicious programs,&quot; said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo. &quot;We offer many of these services for free as part of Comodo's commitment to deliver a trusted Internet where users can be confident that their online activities are safe and secure - irrespective of a user's ability to pay.&quot;For more information, please visit: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/avsmart/pc-tune-up.htmlAbout ComodoThe Comodo companies provide the infrastructure that is essential in enabling e-merchants, other Internet-connected companies, software companies, and individual consumers to interact and conduct business via the Internet safely and securely.

<description><![CDATA[Vulnerability scanning services helps keep servers safe from hackers who steal people's sensitive informationJersey City, NJ (May 22, 2008) - ComputerWorld recently reported on the spread of a worm that infects site databases causing visitors to unknowingly download malware onto their PC. In response to this challenging security threat, Comodo announced today that their HackerProof vulnerability scanning services provides another layer of security that identifies server vulnerabilities that need to be patched before hackers are able to exploit the vulnerability. This &quot;early warning system&quot; for online businesses identifies potential security gaps in web servers so that eMerchants can maintain a secure server that protects visitors' information from being stolen by online criminals. With HackerProof, consumers' identities, passwords, credit card information and bank account details can be kept safe and secure from hackers.Today's online merchants must protect their servers from multiple hacker threats with a robust vulnerability management solution that can detect diverse and fluid hacker threats. The recent ComputerWorld article confirms how challenging this security issue is for eMerchants which is why Comodo's HackerProof vulnerability scanning service was designed to be a comprehensive approach to vulnerability management. This service performs a comprehensive security scan, checking for over 14,000 vulnerabilities, on a daily basis. This ensures that a company's web site keeps all hackers from exploiting a website and stealing sensitive customer information.Comodo's HackerProof Service includes the following features:    * A daily vulnerability scan, testing a site for over 14,000 security vulnerabilities. After each scan, HackerProof customers receive a comprehensive vulnerability report detailing any security issues with remediation advices and advisories to fix them.    * The Comodo HackerProof trustmark that merchants can display on their website, showing customers that their site is safe from hackers    * A web-based management tool that provides daily reporting on scans and allows merchants to measure the effectiveness of the HackerProof trustmarkImportantly, not only does this service provide proactive security safeguards but it also confers an added layer of trust among site visitors. When a site has been found to be free of vulnerabilities, the eMerchant can display the HackerProof trustmark, proven to drive increased visitor conversion.

<description><![CDATA[Comodo issues security advisory on Debian vulnerability flaw, confirming that while Comodo Certificates are unaffected, some certificates created using Debian Distribution are vulnerable which is why Comodo is offering free replacement services for affected SSL certificates - regardless of original certificate providerJersey City, NJ (May 21, 2008) - Comodo, a global leader in Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions, announced today that it would offer free SSL certificates to any online businesses affected by the security flaw recently detected in Debian - the LINUX distribution. While Comodo stressed that the SSL certificates it issued are not vulnerable (it is the private keys generated by the users that may be vulnerable), it is offering assistance to Comodo customers as well as to anyone using a competitive SSL certificate from VeriSign or others by offering a new SSL certificate free of charge.The security flaw (discovered last week) affects OpenSSL in Debian versions of the Linux operating system. The security flaw allows brute forcing of vulnerable keys and could lead to a compromise of secure communications using the keys. To support and assist affected merchants in their efforts to remedy the problem, Comodo is offering free replacement certificates for any certificate that may have been compromised, even if the original certificate was provided by another company.Affected users are advised to replace their certificates in order to ensure the security of their sensitive data including passwords, financial accounts, credit card numbers, and identities. Comodo customers can log into their accounts and replace their certificates with a new CSR (Certificate Signing Request). Customers should update the OpenSSL package to the latest version, create a new CSR and key pair then proceed to replace the affected certificate. Non Comodo customers can visit: http://www.instantssl.com ssl-certificate-support/debian/ssl-certificate-contact.html to get the free certificate. Other security information regarding this vulnerability can be viewed at; http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00152.html&quot;We are making this offer for a free replacement SSL certificate to any affected business, regardless of their original provider because we recognize that SSL certificates are a pivotal foundation of a trusted Internet,&quot; said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo. &quot;SSL certificates working properly are essential to the success of online commerce, and we are giving free certificates as an incentive to encourage immediate remedial action.

<description><![CDATA[Testmypcsecurity.com has become a respected &quot;Virtual Security Community Watch Group&quot; that is reflective of a diverse set of testers who better represent real world environmentsJersey City, NJ (April 09, 2008) - Comodo, a leading security company, announced today that the recent launch of Testmypcsecurity.com has ignited a new model in security that is, in effect, acting as a &quot;Virtual Security Community Watch Group&quot;, helping community members with issues and questions about computer security. Importantly this site, which will house one of the largest collections of computer security tests, provides an independent presentation of test results from a diverse set of community testers. Its credibility is driven by the fact that all information is gathered and created by the users, for the users and does not promote any specific commercial interest whatsoever. Comodo provides the infrastructure for the site but in no way affects the information represented.Testmypcsecurity.com was launched as a new website to address an emerging concern in the security industry - the lack of an independent testing resource that gathers all of the tests and testers needed to objectively assess the effectiveness of PC security solutions. Existing testing sites provide a limited number of tests with information that is often dated and reflective a very limited set of testers. The appeal of Testmypcsecurity.com is that it provides a broad array of computer security tests, including firewall leak and Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) tests that all community members can use for testing purposes. The tests were created as a safe way for users of all abilities to determine the effectiveness of their security software at preventing viruses from damaging a computer system. This approach permits a broader set of testers that can post their results for all community members to see and is likely to be more representative of the &quot;real world&quot;. Further, results are posted almost immediately and are more current than many other testing sites that delay posting results for weeks or even months at a time. The site been highly successful at attracting a wide variety of testers and the site actively encourages site visitors to join the community as testers.Testmypcsecurity.com was designed to be both a testing and education resource for users and includes:    * Detailed and technical explanations about firewall leak tests and HIPS testing,    * Downloads of individual and batch security individual tests,    * Information on other people's test results and comments, and    * The ability to become part of the Test My PC Security testing community.&quot;Testmypcsecurity.com creates a new type of community - a virtual community of like minded people concerned with creating better desktop security for all.&quot; said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo. &quot;The power of a community to test security software and help other community members stay safe represents the new way forward in online security. This type of community can only operate effectively if the environment is independent of commercial interests. That's what we created with Testmypcsecurity.com and it's why the site has exceeded our expectations in terms of impact and influence within the security industry.&quot;For more information, please visit: www.testmypcsecurity.comAbout ComodoThe Comodo companies provide the infrastructure that is essential in enabling e-merchants, other Internet-connected companies, software companies, and individual consumers to interact and conduct business via the Internet safely and securely.
