Logica Implements SSH Tectia for Securing Financial Applications for the City of Helsinki


SSH Tectia® Chosen to Secure File Transfers and Data Connections throughout the
City of Helsinki's IT Network 


HELSINKI, FINLAND and WELLESLEY, Mass. - Dec. 16, 2008 - SSH Communications
Security (HEX:SSH1V), a world-leading provider of enterprise security solutions
and end-to-end communications security, and the original developer of the
Secure Shell protocol, today announced that Logica has selected and implemented
SSH Tectia® for securing file transfers and data connections between
workstations and application servers for the City of Helsinki. With the
deployment of the solution, the city's employees can safely access and use
financial applications from their workstations knowing that sensitive financial
data is kept confidential and unchanged during data transmission. 

The City of Helsinki was looking for an easy and cost-effective security
solution to access financial applications running on off-site application
servers situated at Logica's datacenters. The goal was to ensure the
confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of both terminal connections and
file transfers throughout the city's network. After rigorous technical product
evaluation, SSH Tectia was deployed on more than 1,300 workstations and
application servers in August. 

“It was paramount to us to be able to provide the security level needed by our
customers. We are pleased that the City of Helsinki has chosen SSH Tectia to
protect their file transfers and data-in-transit, and to do that with minimal
disruptions to systems and users,” said Leena-Mari Lähteenmaa, managing
director, Logica. “The data for our customers must be kept confidential at all
times.” 

”We are pleased of the continued trust that is being put in us by Logica and
the City of Helsinki,” said Jari Mielonen, CEO, SSH Communications Security,
Corp. “I believe that SSH Tectia is a perfect and cost-effective match for
securing the city's financial applications.”
