SSH COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY RECEIVES A SIGNIFICANT REPEAT ORDER FOR UNIVERSAL
SSH KEY MANAGER™ SERVICES FROM A MAJOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION 

A major financial institution has placed a significant order for additional
Secure Shell key remediation and access control consulting and professional
services. The order expands on a successful project implemented during 2013.
The total value for this new order is approximately USD 1.1 million. The
revenue will be recognized during the third quarter of 2014. 

A typical SSH key remediation project includes securing IT systems from
advanced malware attacks, insider threats, and APT (Advanced Persistent Threat)
attacks arising from unmanaged cryptographic keys, including: 


  -- Deploying
 Universal SSH Key Manager™
  -- Discovering all user keys in the environment and mapping trust
     relationships
  -- Locking down the environment so that only authorized administrators can
     deploy new Secure Shell keys
  -- Identifying, testing, and removing keys that are no longer needed, all
     while ensuring business continuity
  -- Rotating all keys to limit the risks of a compromised key being used by an
     attacker and to eliminate any backdoors
  -- Continuous monitoring and enforcement of proper approvals


Universal SSH Key Manager™ is unique in the marketplace as it is the only
full-lifecycle, minimally invasive access control solution that automatically
discovers, deploys, rotates, removes, and monitors Secure Shell keys. For more
