June 14, 2005; 10:19 AM

New York, 14th June 2005. Comodo Inc., the world's second largest High Assurance Certification Authority was acknowledged in the June 2005 Netcraft SSL survey as the only High Assurance SSL provider to have grown market share over the past 9 months. Comodo gained an additional 2% of the overall global market from VeriSign, who during the same period lost 3%. (The remaining 1% loss was attributed to other smaller local service providers outside of the top 5 providers). The market itself grew by some 8% over the same period, highlighting the increased reliance on High Assurance SSL protocol for Ecommerce transactions and the secure transfer of critical data.

“The SSL protocol, when delivered via an efficient and cost effective High Assurance authentication system continues to prove itself as an effective ubiquitous solution to the issue of privacy on the Internet”, says Melih Abdulhayoglu CEO and Chief Security Architect at Comodo, “and we are pleased to see the recognition from the market of the Comodo value innovations of price performance and delivery”
