Press Release Summary = Comodo\'s Trust Bundle - including the new EV SSL, PCI and
Daily Vulnerability Scanning - is offered to BBB members for nearly $2,000 less than
leading competitor\'s bundle

Press Release Body = Jersey City, NJ (May 22, 2007) - Comodo, a global Certification
Authority and leading provider of Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions,
announced today that it is extending a discount on three of its leading security and
authentication solutions to members in good standing with the Better Business
Bureau. These businesses, many of whom are Comodo customers already follow best
practices for understanding the role that trust plays in successful customer
relationships. Accordingly, they are well positioned to gain maximum benefit from
Comodo\'s proven solutions for creating trust. This is an ongoing effort by Comodo to
further allow eMerchants who already use trust to drive business to do it with
robust technology and at the lowest possible cost.

Comodo\'s \"High Assurance Confidence Pak\" consists of the new EV SSL certificate,
HackerGuardian PCI Compliancy and Daily Vulnerability Scanning for $595
(representing a 40% discount off retail prices). Competitively, at $595, Comodo\'s
High Assurance Confidence Pack offers BBB members a 75% discount (or a savings of
nearly $2,000) versus bundled services offered by competitors such as VeriSign and
ScanAlert.

Importantly, Comodo\'s High Assurance Confidence Pak also offers significant
technical and visitor conversion advantages versus the competitive offerings:

* Comodo EV SSL includes proprietary technology called EV AUTO-EnhancerT-
Automatic EV Deployment and Maintenance Technology, which provides EV green
address bar compatibility with the large, installed base of Windows XP users.
Comodo\'s solution is significantly easier to deploy and maintain than other EV
SSL solutions.
* To stimulate visitor or sales conversion of customers, Comodo will also offer
BBB members patent-pending TrustLogo certification seals. This technology
promotes visitor conversion through unique \"point to verify\" technology that
delivers site credentials effortlessly within the purchase process.
* Uniquely, Comodo TrustLogo certification seals include break through
technology that allows visitors to visually authenticate legitimate TrustLogos
from logos that were faked. No other certification seal offers this
revolutionary mark protection technology.
* Comodo\'s brand is well established among consumers as a \"trust brand\", given
the millions of users who are being protected by Comodo desktop security
solutions. This reputation as a trust brand provides powerful reassurance to
visitors, which translates into more trusted transactions.

\"Comodo, as a Certification Authority, shares many BBB members\' commitment to
creating trust in the online world. These discounts are our way of delivering
conversion-building technology to businesses that understand how fundamental trust
is to creating more trusted transactions,\" said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief
Security Architect of Comodo. \"Since many of our customers are already BBB members,
we wanted to make these solutions available as affordably as possible so that more
businesses will be able to protect consumers and enable trusted ecommerce.\"
Comodo\'s EV SSL Certificates Overview:

Comodo is a new standard for identity verification and, as a result, delivers more
solid identity assurance through the green browser bar display, signifying the
presence of an authenticated site. Online visitors can verify that the identity of
the site and the site owner have been authenticated by a Certification Authority,
which creates more visitor trust and consequently more sales conversions.
HackerGuardian PCI Scan Compliant Solution Overview:

Only a PCI-approved scanning vendor (ASV) like Comodo can provide vulnerability
assessment scans. A company that successfully passes the PCI criteria (no
vulnerabilities of severity level 3 or above), will also be provided with a \"PCI
Compliance Report\" that can be sent to the acquiring bank as evidence of compliance.
Once the site has passed the scan, Comodo provides a new type of TrustLogo called
\"Credit Card TrustLogo\". Like all other Comodo TrustLogos, the Credit Card TrustLogo
provides additional reassurance that the e-merchant is both secure and trustworthy.
HackerGuardian Daily Vulnerability Scanning Solution Overview:

HackerGuardian Daily Scanning performs over 14,000 daily tests on a company\'s
server, scanning for weaknesses both at the firewall\'s perimeter and beyond.
HackerGuardian provides another layer of detection and protection from threats that
might seep through an open port. A detailed report is delivered after every scan,
and, if any threat or discrepancy is found, the user is advised on a remediation
process. Once a site passes the daily scanning test, the HackerShield TrustLogo is
displayed as certification of the site\'s safety.
