SSH COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY CORP. COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT FEBRUARY 5,2010 AT 9:20
A.M. 


SSH COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY CORP (SSH) ADOPTS TECTIA BRAND                      

The business of SSH Communications Security Corp. will be unified under one     
brand, Tectia. The objective is to develop a global sales and marketing-oriented
security software company that has a strong brand with satisfied customers and  
innovative offering.                                                            

Tectia unifies all business operations under one name. Furthermore, the change  
strengthens the company's strategic objective to be the market maker in         
real-time security software for networked organizations.                        

“The company name is the most strategic branding element that affects the       
customers, partners and employees alike. The Tectia brand as a product name has 
a very strong foothold in the U.S. among the world's most demanding customers.  
Traditionally, the SSH customer base includes the world's largest banks,        
retailers and governmental agencies in the Americas, Europe and APAC. We have   
expanded the market potential to the governance and management of security for  
listed companies and international enterprises with the launch of new Tectia    
offerings last fall, like Tectia Guardian and Tectia MFT Portal that are        
integrated to the existing Tectia product family. Tectia is also our registered 
trademark, so it is a natural step to start using it also as the company brand”,
said Jari Mielonen, CEO of SSH Communications Security Corp.                    

The name of the Group company, SSH Communications Security Corp., will be       
changed to Tectia Corporation. Accordingly, all Group companies will be named in
a uniform manner and Tectia will be the common brand in all markets for the     
entire offering. The business name SSH Communications Security shall be retained
as auxiliary business name and the rights for the brand SSH shall be preserved. 

The change of the name will be proposed to the Annual General Meeting on 3 March
2010, based on the decision proposal by the Board of Directors of SSH. With the 
introduction of Tectia, the business logo, visual identity and marketing        
materials will also be renewed during 2010.                                     

SSH Communications Security Corp. is a forerunning software company in          
open-standards-based business security solutions for private and public         
organizations. We have operations in the Americas, Europe and APAC, and our     
shares are quoted on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd., under the trading code of    
SSH1V.
