Press Release Summary = Recent Research Confirms that PCI Compliancy Should Be
Integrated Into a Larger Vulnerability Management Framework

Press Release Body = Jersey City, NJ (June 27, 2007) - Research published recently
within the security industry confirms that, while PCI is important, it is only one
part of a larger vulnerability management framework for protecting consumer data
from hackers. According to this study conducted between March and May of 2007 among
network compliance management experts, nearly 7 out of 10 IT professionals
understand that the PCI compliancy scan may not provide the regular monitoring
needed to ensure a website is safe from outside attacks.

PCI compliancy establishes stringent standards on how Emerchants process, store and
transmit customer data. One component of these standards includes the requirement
that Emerchants scan their websites for possible vulnerabilities at least once per
quarter. This scanning requirement provides customer protection, but IT
professionals also recognize that, in addition to the PCI-required scan, a daily
scanning solution would identify any vulnerability that may otherwise go undetected
between the required scans.

Comodo ensures that small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are effectively both
compliant and secure through a highly cost-effective approach that combines PCI
compliancy and security. The HackerGuardian Bundle includes Daily Vulnerability
Scanning to detect if a server is vulnerable to hackers and PCI Compliancy Scanning.
At $99, Comodo\'s bundle costs a fraction of the leading competitor\'s solution, which
runs more than $1,000.

\"PCI is a great and powerful tool, as well as a requirement,\" said Melih
Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo. \"Therefore, deploying PCI
and Daily Vulnerability Scanning allows Emerchants to deliver a trusted and safe
online experience for their customers.\"
