Recently, IT security and management solutions provider Comodo (comodo.com) has entered into an agreement whereby server automation and virtualization provider SWsoft (swsoft.com) will become a reseller of Comodo security solutions including Comodo SSL certificates. The announcement follows SWsoft's news Friday that the company purchased the assets of Comodo's Positive Software automation division.

Web hosts will now be able to purchase Comodo's EV SSL certificates, InstantSSL certificates and other specialty digital certificates such as Wildcard SSL certificates from SWsoft. By acquiring the assets and development center of PSoft, Comodo and SWsoft said they are positioned to offer one of the most robust and well-architected portfolios available to Web hosting companies.

This agreement reinforces Comodo's commitment to provide a well-integrated approach to automated infrastructure solutions and e-commerce technologies that enable Web hosts to help their customers create more trusted Web sites.

Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and chief security architect of Comodo, commented: "Partnering with SWsoft is very important to us because we understand that Web hosts need a well developed set of products and services to meet a diverse customer set. "We are very pleased that Web hosts will benefit from our joint commitment to invest in new services and technologies designed for the special needs of the Web hosting industry."
