COMODO DELIVERS COMPREHENSIVE VISION FOR THE CREATION OF A NEW STATE: THE TRUSTED INTERNET
In 2008, the Comodo companies have continuously innovated and introduced authentication and security technologies to build the foundation of a Trusted Internet.
Jersey City, NJ, August 27, 2008 - "We contend daily with the challenge of figuring out who and what to trust online," said CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo CA, Melih Abdulhayoglu. "The Internet has yet to achieve its full potential because we cannot tell the fraudsters from our friends. In 2008, Comodo has worked hard to combat this problem."
The Comodo companies announced their vision and the solutions they have developed for the architecture of the "Trusted Internet", a state that provides everyone increased online safety by introducing trust into every online interaction. The Trusted Internet depends on both authentication and security technologies to protect digital assets and transactions through mutual, real-time trust. Comodo's vision of the Trusted Internet is backed by a fast-growing and diverse team of innovators that deliver new solutions to the market at a faster pace than many other companies in the segment. In 2008 alone, the Comodo companies have introduced at least one new technology a month in the security and authentication categories, bringing the Trusted Internet state closer to all online users and businesses.
The Trusted Internet
The Trusted Internet vision incorporates a variety of authentication and security technologies needed to provide mutual authentication between sites and visitors.
