Comodo's New HackerProof Service Revolutionizes E-Merchant's Site Conversion and Sales - According to a study conducted by Harris Polls in May of 2006, consumers do not have a high level of trust in eCommerce sites. In the study, Harris measured "levels of trust" and found that only 5% of consumers have "a great deal" of trust in eTailers and over 50% of consumers do not trust eTailers at all or trust them very little. To address this growing trust gap, Comodo, a leading Certification Authority, today announced the launch of Comodo HackerProof, a new eMerchant service that drives visitor conversion by certifying that the site has been tested and meets Comodo's stringent security standards. Sites passing Comodo’s vulnerability scans and are certified to be free of security gaps can display the HackerProof trust mark. The HackerProof trust mark has been shown to be highly valued by eMerchants as an endorsement of the site's credibility because over 100 million people associate the Comodo brand with security, making Comodo's brand credibility one of the highest among vulnerability scanning providers.
