Press Release Summary: Free HackerGuardian fully compliant PCI security scans, check
websites for vulnerabilities to hackers


Press Release Body: Jersey City, NJ (October 03, 2007) -- Comodo, a global leader in
Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions, is doing its part to assist
businesses in protecting consumer information from hackers by offering eMerchants a
free quarterly PCI compliant scan. This free PCI scan can help eMerchants meet the
PCI compliance requirement deadlines in addition to helping protect their customer\'s
information from disclosure that might result from malicious hacking. Further, as
Comodo is offering this PCI scan for free, it can save Merchants thousands of
dollars in their compliancy costs.

In this day and age, consumers are worried that their confidential information may
not be safe when submitted or stored online. PCI compliance scanning assists
businesses in determining if their sites are vulnerable to hackers and provides
valuable insights on how to remedy problem areas. PCI (Payment Card Industry)
standards require that eMerchants who accept credit card payments scan their
websites for possible vulnerabilities and companies failing to comply with PCI
standards could face financial penalties or lose their ability to process credit
card transactions.

Yet, as recently reported in eWeek, (\"Study Shows Businesses Face PCI Challenges\" -
Sept 27 - http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,2189271,00.asp?
kc=EWRSS03129TX1K0000614) many eMerchants are struggling to comply with PCI Data
Security Standards because it can be difficult and costly. To enable more eMerchants
to comply, Comodo is offering this free quarterly PCI Scan as part of their overall
PCI compliancy program. \"Keeping customer information safe is a top priority for
eMerchants. No one wants to have a hacker use their site to steal identity
information\" says Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo.
\"That\'s why Comodo is offering the HackerGuardian Free PCI Scan. This free scan
shows eMerchants their vulnerable areas and delivers true value and security to many
businesses. Because it is free, any eMerchant concerned about their customer\'s
valuable and sensitive data will want to find out what they can do to better improve
their website\'s security.\"
