February 9, 2007; 06:16 AM 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.
