SSH Announces New Managed File Transfer Automation and Monitoring Solutions

SSH Tectia MFT Events and SSH Tectia MFT Auditor Provide Robust, Easy-to-Deploy
Layered Solution for Establishing, Maintaining and Monitoring Secure File
Transfers and Data in Transit 


HELSINKI, FINLAND and WELLESLEY, Mass. - June 9 2009 - SSH Communications
Security (HEX:SSH1V), a forerunning provider of enterprise security solutions
and end-to-end communications security, today introduced SSH Tectia® MFT Events
and SSH Tectia MFT Auditor. These new Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions
enable enterprise and government customers to easily and cost-effectively
manage, monitor, and secure file and data transfers of sensitive information. 

The new SSH Tectia MFT solutions provide faster paths to governance and
compliance for critical business process data flows, saving time and money by: 

•Leveraging existing technologies already in the IT infrastructure   

•Maintaining existing business processes; not forcing costly dataflow
re-engineering 

•Enabling faster, lower-cost and more reliable automation of secure managed
data flows with a GUI-based tool and standardized event templates, instead of
error-prone and resource-intensive scripting 

•Making business processes more reliable by automating the way dataflows are
maintained and confirmed, and by executing operator alerts and alternative
event chains in error situations 

SSH Tectia MFT Events enables enterprise users to automate and execute file
transfer operations and remote commands via an intuitive, easy-to-use graphical
user interface. It enables easy composition and automation of file transfers,
based on system events and remote command execution, and provides guaranteed
content delivery, file integrity checking, and troubleshooting capabilities.
SSH Tectia MFT Events scales to large internal and external networks in
Windows, Unix, Linux, IBM z/OS, and Linux for System z environments, and
integrates with existing IT infrastructure and business processes, to meet key
compliance, governance, auditing, and forensics requirements. 

"Visibility, management, monitoring, enforcement, provisioning, and automation
are critical challenges that resonate at all levels of a company," said Frank
Kenney, research director for Applications Strategy and Governance, Gartner
Research. "Applying these attributes to manage file transfers enables companies
to really understand and fully govern what amounts to more than two-thirds of
their data movement inside and outside the enterprise. It's no longer an issue
of secure transport 
only; it's a mandate for control that will drive present and future deployments
of infrastructure." 

SSH Tectia MFT Auditor is the first file transfer monitoring tool for SSH
Tectia, OpenSSH and many server OS-embedded SSH environments that helps speed
up daily security operations and processes, while reducing costs of ownership
and maintenance. The powerful yet easy-to-use solution enables users to easily
track and resolve failed file transfers, identify unauthorized file operations,
monitor file transfer statistics and volumes over time, and ensure
non-repudiation of the log data via a centralized log database. SSH Tectia MFT
Auditor also generates detailed reports and provides visibility for the file
transfer operators, auditors and compliance managers to easily verify that the
file transfer operations meet governance, auditing and compliance requirements. 

SSH Communications Security also offers a variety of MFT and security
consulting services to assist customers, as well as their integration and
outsourcing partners, in all phases of the SSH Tectia MFT implementation and
operation. SSH Tectia Managed File Transfer Consulting Services provide the
review and design of customer data and file transfer architectures, for
effective migration to secured, managed and auditable data and file transfer
operations. 

”The new SSH Tectia MFT products provide immediate business benefits by
streamlining processes and file transfer operations, reducing the risk and cost
of human error, and by facilitating regulatory compliance,” said Jari Mielonen,
CEO of SSH Communications Security. “When deployed with our existing secure
file transfer and management products, the SSH Tectia solution provides
enterprise and government customers with a comprehensive, reliable and powerful
security solution to protect all sensitive financial, corporate, and customer
data.” 

SSH Tectia MFT Events and SSH Tectia MFT Auditor will be available in June 2009
directly from SSH Communications Security, and from its global network of
distribution partners. Visit www.ssh.com for more information.
