Press Release Summary: Vulnerability scanning services helps keep servers safe from
hackers who steal people\'s sensitive information

Press Release Body: Jersey 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 \"early
warning system\" 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 trustmark

Importantly, 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. In fact, Comodo offers HackerProof
service for free to online merchants until the eMerchant sees at least a 5%
conversion improvement in site traffic.

Improve Online Performance with Comodo\'s eCommerce Accelerator Kit
HackerProof is part of Comodo\'s eCommerce Accelerator Kit, which is an innovative
approach for creating more sales through more trusted transactions. This program
includes an Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate for trust through identity
verification protecting users from phishing sites, UserTrust customer feedback
platform to improve consumer confidence in the site\'s performance in addition to
HackerProof which helps safeguard customer information. Together, these three
solutions inject key trust attributes into the site that can help create a trusted
site to help accelerate visitor conversion and improve user interaction.

\"HackerProof is part of an overall strategy to deliver programs that help eMerchants
convert more customers through the currency of increased trust\", said Melih
Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo. \"Programs like the
eCommerce Accelerator Kit are designed to be easy for eMerchants to deploy while
creating the trusted environment needed for improved site performance. This is
another example of how our solutions creates trust in online sales.\"
