Press Release Body = Jersey City, NJ (May 16, 2006) - Comodo, a global leader in
Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions, today announced the availability

reporting service. The flexible and powerful service enables users to run fully
customizable, on-demand security audits of corporate networks with remote audits run
over 10,600 individual tests on an organization's servers and network before

cross referenced risk mitigation advice. Tests are fully configurable with user
defined plug in selection, full scheduling, unlimited recurring scans, concurrent
scanning of multiple IPs and more.

defined time-intervals and to run unlimited number of repeat scans on Multiple
IP's or IP Ranges

audits to specific requirements

ports and services for specific vulnerabilities

are categorized by threat classification into 'families' and are fully configurable
- allowing administrators to choose exactly which tests are included in any
particular audit.
