SSH COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY RECEIVES A SIGNIFICANT ORDER FOR UNIVERSAL SSH KEY
MANAGER™ SERVICES FROM GLOBAL TOP 10 FINANCIAL INSTITUTION 

A Global Top 10 financial institution has made a significant order for

A typical SSH key remediation project includes securing IT systems from both
virus attacks and insider threats arising from unmanaged legacy keys, including
e.g.: 

  -- moving user authentication keys to protected locations, to prevent insider
     attacks;
  -- removing keys that are no longer needed, to effect proper termination of
     access;
  -- changing all keys so that copied keys cease to work, to eliminate existing
     backdoors;
  -- continuous monitoring and enforcement of proper approvals.

Additionally, setting up new SSH keys or other trust relationships is typically
automated to save costs and improve security. 

Universal SSH Key Manager™ helps organizations of all sizes to manage their
cryptographic keys in and automated access to large IT environments.  The
product is unique in being able to simultaneously manage, deploy, audit and
rotate user authentication keys for large scale SSH environments.
