Press Release Summary: Comodo Launches Philanthropic Initiative Targetting K - 12
Education Segment to Advance Technology Learning Opportunities among Children

Press Release Body: JERSEY CITY, NJ March 06, 2008 - Comodo, a global Certification
Authority and leading provider of Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions
today announced it has begun awarding grants to schools in lower income communities
dedicated to providing technology enrichment learning opportunities for these
children. Importantly, this initiative is meant to help foster broader understanding
within school age children of key technologies related to computers and the
Internet.

This new initiative is consistent with Comodo\'s dedication to empowering consumers
with tools and technology to enable them to fully reap the benefits that the
Internet offers. \"Comodo\'s commitment to giving back is deeply ingrained in our
culture.\" said Beverley Daynes, - Vice President of Finance Comodo. \"We spend
considerable resources providing free, award winning desktop security to end users
and we are proud to continue our tradition by expanding our support to empower
children to be technologically literate.\"

The first school to be granted an award was the Eighteenth Avenue Elementary School
of Science and Technology in Newark, NJ. This grant supports a special needs program
among second and third graders to help accelerate their use of computers for
learning. Comodo is planning on expanding this program to include technology,
hardware and other potential services related to authentication to reduce children\'s
exposure to online predators.

Grant recipients will be chosen by the Comodo Grant Review Committee, which is
comprised of Comodo employees with diverse backgrounds and range from individual
contributors to management level employees. Interested not-for-profit organizations
can contact Comodo directly.
