Comodo CA, a worldwide leader in digital web security solutions, announced the acquisition of CodeGuard, Inc., a global leader in website maintenance, and backup and disaster recovery. CodeGuard allows business owners to reverse damage caused by intentional cyber attacks or unintentional impacts of development issues, content management errors and server crashes. While CodeGuard will continue to operate independently, the acquisition combines Comodo CA’s long-standing heritage and expertise in SSL certificates with CodeGuard’s fast, reliable backup and recovery services.
“The impact of website disasters can be devastating for a company. Reputational damage is enormous; customers and investors have little tolerance for unmitigated website issues. Repair costs and time to repair are major business issues that CodeGuard addresses,” said Bill Holtz, CEO, Comodo CA. “By adding CodeGuard’s solutions to our existing product portfolio, we are able to further protect business owners and their customers. This acquisition is also further proof of our continued accelerated growth and differentiation in the market.”
“For business owners, a website is a crucial part of the health and well-being of their company. Our solutions give companies peace of mind that should something go wrong, they are protected at every level,” said David Moeller, CEO, CodeGuard. “By partnering with Comodo CA we are now uniquely positioned to deliver a more robust, comprehensive option for our combined customer base and look forward to seizing the rapidly growing demand for secure website products and services.”
CodeGuard allows companies to reverse damage caused to a website through a 1-click restore option. Utilizing sophisticated version control software, CodeGuard provides incremental agent-less backups, and empowers marketers and technologists alike to oversee their network of websites – with any mix of CMSs: WordPress, Joomla, Drupal – all in one place. Advanced features provide automated vulnerability patching & malware removal along with white-labeling and customization for agencies, managed service providers, and enterprises.
Comodo CA will keep the CodeGuard brand intact and operating independently out of its current Atlanta location, however, it will move quickly to integrate all current CodeGuard services and solutions into Comodo CA’s offerings for customers and partners. Additionally, existing Comodo CA partners can seamlessly integrate CodeGuard solutions through advanced APIs that are now available.
