SSH Tectia Version 6.0 Introduces New Products With Industry First Features
that Drastically Reduce the Cost and Time Needed to Secure FTP File Transfers
and Data-In-Transit
HELSINKI, FINLAND and WELLESLEY, Mass. - November 13, 2007 - SSH Communications
Security Corp. (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 the next major release of its
enterprise security solution, SSH Tectia 6.0. This version features SSH Tectia
ConnectSecure, a major new family member that significantly expands the range of
system platforms that can easily leverage the secure file transfer and secure
data-in-transit benefits of the SSH Tectia architecture.
"Some of the world's largest enterprises have worked with us to develop SSH
Tectia 6.0. As a result, securing file transfers and data-in-transit is easier,
faster and more cost-effective than ever before to help companies meet their SOX
and PCI compliance deadlines" said Arto Vainio, CEO of SSH Communications
Security. "And our new product, SSH Tectia ConnectSecure, brings some of these
benefits to users of 3rd party secure shell products for the first time”.
SSH Tectia ConnectSecure will help organizations of any size secure FTP files
transfers and data-in-transit quickly and easily, without any need for
modifications to applications, scripts or infrastructure. The product introduces
new revolutionary features including automatic FTP-SFTP Conversion, Transparent
FTP Tunneling and Transparent TCP Tunneling, enabling IT departments to replace
unsecure protocols with secure proven protocols in hours or days rather than
weeks. SSH Tectia ConnectSecure is available on Unix, Linux and Windows
platforms and will work not only with SSH Tectia Servers but also with other
secure shell (SSH) server products, such as OpenSSH and commercially supported
versions.
The new release also features SSH Tectia Client for Windows 6.0, a significantly
enhanced Windows client that now supports Transparent TCP Tunneling and
Automatic Tunneling, in addition to the traditional secure shell port
forwarding. This makes the product the ideal choice for securing virtually any
TCP/IP application without any modifications or changes. SSH Tectia Client for
Windows is now the most versatile and capable secure shell client available on
the market.
Additional new features in SSH Tectia version 6.0 include:
Easier deployment - improved installation and configuration options making it
faster and easier to replace FTP and other unsecure protocols with secure
alternatives.
New platform support - several new platforms, including HP-UX 11i v3, have been
added, further expanding SSH Tectia's robust range of enterprise platform
support.
Improved performance - the fast streaming Crypticore ciphers are now supported
on Unix and Linux on Intel architecture platforms.
Improved IBM z/OS integration - several usability and performance improvements,
including improved data streaming, makes SSH Tectia Server for IBM z/OS the
ideal product for secure file transfers between mainframe and distributed
environments.
With the new release of SSH Tectia, enterprises can implement high-performance
secure file transfers, secure application connectivity and secure system
administration throughout heterogeneous networks comprising Windows, Unix,
Linux, and IBM mainframe systems. SSH Tectia Servers, SSH Tectia Clients and SSH
Tectia ConnectSecure can be centrally managed with SSH Tectia Manager to enable
efficient deployment in large environments, faster security policy deployment,
faster response to security attacks, and lower TCO while helping enterprises
ensure regulatory compliance.
Pricing and Availability
SSH Tectia Client/Server Solution version 6.0, including SSH Tectia
ConnectSecure, will be available to customers in January 2008. SSH Tectia Server
6.0 for IBM z/OS will be available March, 2008. Product pricing and further
