Press Release Summary = SiteMon mitigates the risk of revenue loss by providing

merchant\'s website

Press Release Body = Jersey City, NJ (Sept 12th, 2006) - Comodo, a global
Certification Authority and leading provider of Identity and Trust Assurance
Management solutions, today announced the immediate availability of SiteMon, a
website continuity monitoring service. Comodo SiteMon automatically checks
corporate, e-commerce and enterprise websites every 10 minutes to ensure they are up
and running and viewable to the public.

The free service sends an http:// request to a chosen URL every 10 minutes and also
monitors the web page for the presence of 3 keywords. If these keywords are not
detected, possibly due to the website being down, unresponsive or the keywords being
removed by accident or sabotage, then the account holder is immediately alerted of
the problem via email.

SiteMon allows website owners and network administrators to:

* Check that a web server is available by sending a standard http:// request
every ten minutes
* Monitor the page title and 3 keywords to ensure page content loads correctly
and has not been modified
* Identify slow websites by providing detailed server response times via the
online reporting feature
* Instantly receive notification via email should the web-server fail any of the
tests

The monitoring tool is easy to configure and requires no downloads or software
installation, running remotely from secure servers managed by Comodo. Website owners
create an account at http://sitemon.hackerguardian.com and fill out a short form
specifying which URLs and keywords they would like the service to check. Existing
Hacker Guardian account holders can log into the service with their existing
username and password.

Melih Abdulhayoglu, President and CEO of Comodo believes the offering provides
companies with a long term means of ensuring business critical websites and services
are running as expected.

\"E-merchants and online businesses are dependent on the availability of their web
servers for revenue generation\", said Melih Abdulhayoglu, President and CEO of
Comodo. \"SiteMon provides virtually immediate feedback regarding the accessibility
and visibility of a merchant\'s website. This information is critical as it mitigates
the risk of revenue loss resulting from a website being down. We are confident that
emerchants of all classes will find immediate value in this free service.\"

Comodo SiteMon is available now at http://sitemon.hackerguardian.com
