The Mission of Comodo

The rapid acceptance and deployment of the internet has transformed how we build and share information today. Financial transactions, healthcare records, personal information, and government data all pass instantly through technology systems at record pace. Internet technologies have revolutionized the way people communicate, governments manage, businesses operate and society functions.

But with innovation always comes risk. Security is always the last layer to be added in any transformational idea, and malware and cyberattacks now threaten the economic and societal progress that these technology tools provide. They have created an environment of vulnerability and exposure, where individuals and corporations can't feel they trust the experience of being online, of collaborating across geographies, of exchanging information safely.

Enter Comodo, a company that has been built upon the very foundation of trust, believing that every single digital transaction must have a built-in layer of trust and security. Thousands of companies and organizations rely on Comodo's technology to authenticate, validate and secure their most precious asset – information - and to combat constant malware threats and cyberattacks that are creating havoc on a global scale.

From the individual to the corporation, everyone has the right to a trustworthy and secure environment and it is the job of Comodo to provide the technology solutions that secure and preserve that experience. For the employees of Comodo, this is our life's work – creating an environment of trust for our current and future customers.

Authenticating Individuals, Businesses Websites and Content:

Authentication is at the heart of trust – it's the process of confirming that something or someone is genuine. Hackers are counterfeiters and impersonators - they thrive on deception. Trust is created when individuals, businesses, websites or software publishers are authenticated to ensure that they are who they say they are, and that their information has not been tampered with. This trust is the core of successful online businesses and trusted online interactions.

Securing Information:

Encrypting sensitive information at all stages of its lifecycle is a proven method of keeping it safe from hackers. Strong Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) encryption through digital certificates ensures that the encrypted information can only be used by authorized parties.

Securing Websites and E-Commerce:

Uncovering and alerting IT organizations to vulnerabilities in their server/site's technical configuration or security procedures that could be exploited by hackers, and providing advice or solutions to eliminate them.

Securing and Maintaining PCs:

Denying hackers access to the information and resources they need to succeed, such as your personal or business financial information, and at a more fundamental level, your computer's internet connection and processing capacity.
Meeting tomorrow's challenges requires both leadership and innovation in our customer offerings as well as the way we run our businesses.
