Press Release Body = Jersey City, NJ (Feb 8th, 2007) - Comodo, a global
Certification Authority and leading provider of Identity and Trust Assurance (ITA)
Management solutions, announced today that Brinkster, (www.brinkster.com), one of
the world\'s largest web host solution providers has selected Comodo to power its
security solution offerings for its current and growing customer base. Brinkster
will be offering Comodo\'s ITA Suite, including a full range SSL Certificates, the
new EV SSL Certificates, HackerGuardian Vulnerability Management solutions, email
security solutions and desktop security solutions. Brinkster customers will realize
the benefits of advanced technological security, helping them establish trust during
online transactions.

Brinkster, founded in August of 1999 as a resource site for developers, quickly grew
into a top choice for web hosting in the United States, Europe, and in over 175
countries worldwide. With this announcement, Brinkster will be able to provide its
customers with a highly integrated and synergistic set of solutions that cover SSL
security requirements, server vulnerability management needs, secure email and
desktop security solutions including the award winning free Comodo Firewall Pro. In
addition, Brinkster will now be able to provide a web-based interface for complete
customer account management.

\"Given public concerns about online fraud, we understand that our customers need
best-in-class trust solutions to help them succeed in their eCommerce business,\"
said Ben Chambers, Vice President of Marketing at Brinkster. \"We chose Comodo
because we wanted to partner with a company that is aware of the rapid changes in
our industry spurred by competition and can deliver solutions that will keep us
ahead of the curve.\"

Brinkster will be offering the following core elements of Comodo\'s ITA solution.

SSL Certificates - full range SSL Certificates including the newly standardized EV
SSL Certificates
High assurance SSL Certificates from Comodo provide Brinkster customers with
encryption certification and authentication of business identity. In addition,
Brinkster will be able to offer the new EV SSL certificates that comply with
Microsoft\'s new security features in IE7. These new EV SSL certificates provide site
visitors with a green visual indicator in the address bar confirming the
authenticity of the site.

Corner of Trust Logo - Technologically advanced site seal encourages visitor trust
verification
An important component of a well-architected ITA suite is the utilization of site
seals to provide visitor reassurance. Comodo delivers an advanced, patent-pending
seal called the Corner of TrustLogo (CoT). These exclusive TrustLogos, issued with
any Comodo high assurance SSL Certificate, have a unique \"point to verify\" call to
action that allows site authentication to occur during the actual transaction. This
TrustLogo provides customers with a competitive advantage by eliminating the need to
verify a site\'s authenticity using off site clicking.

HackerGuardian(tm) - Daily Vulnerability Scanning and Certification Solution
HackerGuardian provides full vulnerability management certification and solutions
including PCI compliancy, daily vulnerability scanning and certification services,
and network vulnerability management solutions.

Email certificates for Secure Email Communications
Email certificates will be offered free to Brinkster customers. These certificates
are used to digitally sign and encrypt sensitive communications, providing
additional layers of security so that personal information remains protected.

Comodo Firewall Pro - Award-winning firewall proven best in key performance leak and
termination efficacy tests.
For a firewall to be effective, it must both prevent applications from getting \"out\"
(a.k.a. \'leaking out\" to execute the malicious activity) and resist being terminated
by fraudster applications. In recent independent tests performed by Matousec.com,
Comodo outperformed virtually all other firewalls - free or paid - in both areas.

\"Brinkster\'s selection of Comodo as its partner to provide a unified approach to
identity and trust assurance for online businesses is part of Comodo\'s long-term
strategy to provide the most innovative and deep portfolio in enabling online
commerce,\" said James Langman, Vice President of Business Development at Comodo. \"We
are delighted to be able to offer such a leading edge company the type of solutions
that are scalable for any size eCommerce business while delivering real business
benefits - to our partner and their customers.\"

The suite of solutions that Comodo is delivering to Brinkster provides best-in-class
security yet is fast, easy and cost-effective to implement.
