Comodo Partners with E-Soft to Offer Customers Free Network Security Audits
SSL Customers now receive added benefit of free security audit with every Comodo SSL Certificate
Burlington, ON - December 1, 2002 - Comodo, the Internet security specialists, and E-Soft, a privately owned Internet security consulting firm, today announced the integration of SecuritySpace security audits into Comodo's SSL and web identity assurance offerings. The partnership will see InstantSSL customers, Comodo's leading SSL brand, and TrustLogo customers, Comodo's innovative web identity assurance technology, receiving free automated audits designed to identify up to 1124 potential security risks. As the free audit also involves the identification of the most appropriate corrective measures, the business can immediately correct potential network and server vulnerabilities.
"Our partnership with E-Soft will provide a very important enhancement of our SSL and TrustLogo product portfolio", comments Paul Tourret, Managing Director of Comodo Ltd. "Free security auditing will add considerable value to our SSL products, and the associated benefits will undoubtedly have great appeal to all our customers. As well as delivering professional SSL solutions, Comodo can now offer customers complete peace of mind regarding the security of their networks. Furthermore, by making such tests available at no cost, we ensure that Comodo continues to make security affordable."
"Today's hacker is becoming more inventive and calculating, and the need for diagnostic tools to safeguard against security attacks is on the rise," said Thomas Reinke, President, E-Soft, Inc. "Comprehensive yet cost-effective security auditing services both identify areas of weakness and keep intruders out, but also regularly test for new vulnerabilities as they are discovered. E-Soft has worked with over 70,000 customers and has conducted over 35 million tests for vulnerabilities. Our new partnership with Comodo is an ideal opportunity for SSL customers to better defend their networks against unwanted entry."

InstantSSL Certificates are digital credentials that enable websites to secure customer transactions using the industry standard security protocol known as SSL. By allowing websites to create an encrypted secure tunnel between the site and the customer, SSL has fuelled the growth and confidence in conducting online transactions.

InstantSSL has been well received by customers, resellers, ISPs and web hosting companies since its launch earlier this year. By combining essential factors such as industry standard 128-bit SSL, full validation, full support, 99% browser ubiquity and low prices, InstantSSL occupies a unique position in the SSL providers market.
