Comodo announces partnership with eBiz-Id for provision of branded security solutions

eBiz-Id launches e-Biz SSL and web identity solutions using Comodo's "Powered Security" services

22 October 2002. Kent, UK. Comodo, the Internet security specialist, today announced eBiz-Id, the electronic security and identity specialists, as the latest company to launch branded SSL and web identity solutions using its "Powered Security" services. eBiz-Id security solutions (www.ebizid.com) provide industry standard, fully validated, fully supported SSL Certificates for the promotional price of only $24.99. With its expertly supported and validated SSL Certificates, eBiz-Id is expected to quickly establish itself as a main player in the SSL Providers market.

Since its launch in early 2002, eBiz-Id first established as a leading SSL reseller by reselling both Thawte and GeoTrust SSL Certificates. After replacing its existing suppliers in summer 2002 with Comodo's own brand SSL Certificates, InstantSSL, eBiz-Id quickly became a prominent player in the provision of high quality, low cost SSL Certificates. eBiz-Id has now progressed its position in the global security solutions market with the launch of eBiz security solutions - branded SSL and web identity solutions provided through Comodo's Powered Security services.

"Providing branded security solutions is a logical step for eBiz-Id," comments James Ryan, founder of eBiz-Id, "We have already established a strong brand through our competitive prices and customer care, we now intend to leverage our position by providing our own branded security solutions".

As part of the launch promotions, eBiz-Id will be retailing eBiz SSL Certificates considerably less than the standard retail price. Until December 31st 2002, eBiz SSL Certificates are available from $24.99 for a one year, fully validated and fully supported Certificate. "We are keen to build up strong customer recognition for our SSL Certificates," continues Ryan, "which is why we are launching our solutions at prices considerably less than comparable Certificates available through Verisign and Thawte. Our promotional launch prices is the best deal currently available for SSL Certificates!"

EBiz-Id is one of the first SSL brands to use Comodo's new "Powered Security" services. Powered Security services allow companies to provide privately labelled 128-bit industry standard SSL Certificates and web identity products directly to end customers through their own branded interfaces. Comodo operate the backend Certification Authority legal and insurance infrastructure responsible for the actual processing, validation, issuance and support of the SSL Certificate.

Powered SSL Certificates allow companies to provide their own globally accepted SSL Certificates and with 99% browser compatibility the Certificates are as trusted as Verisign and Thawte. Such facilities are ideal for organisations wishing to maintain their own branding within their own SSL product offerings.

"We are happy to have been selected by eBiz-Id to power their new branded security services," states Paul Tourret, Managing Director of Comodo Limited "We feel they have established an excellent reputation as an SSL reseller, and strongly believe they will now play a prominent role in the SSL providers market with their own SSL solutions. eBiz-Id is a perfect example of how our Powered Security services can help companies start providing their own branded security solutions quickly and cost-effectively".

Comodo also offers standard non-Powered SSL programs for companies wishing to resell Comodo's established InstantSSL brand. Since its inception in May 2002, over 400 resellers, ISPs and hosting companies have joined Comodo and actively promote and resell InstantSSL Certificates.
