SECURITY CORPORATION   COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT   MAY 22, 2013 AT 9:30 A.M. 

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

A major financial institution has placed a significant order for Universal SSH
Key Manager™ Services. Contract value for this new order for services is
approximately EUR 1.6 million (USD 2.0M).  The revenue will be recognized
during fiscal year 2013. 

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™ software helps organizations of all sizes to manage
their cryptographic keys and 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.
