SSH Communications Security Rolls Out SSH Key Discovery Tool

New service and solution suite is designed to help enterprises assess information technology risk

SAN FRANCISCO (RSA Booth #333) Feb. 25, 2013 SSH Communications Security, known the world over as the inventor of the ubiquitous secure shell and SFTP protocols, today announced the addition of the SSH Key Discovery Service to its Universal SSH Key Manager solution portfolio. The new service and solution suite is designed to help enterprises assess information technology risk, secure visibility and gain control over their secure shell access management systems.
A typical enterprise environment can house well over one million SSH user keys, many of which grant high administrative access to a large number of servers. Over time this proliferation of keys coupled with the fact that the keys are rarely rotated or removed has created major security risk and compliance issues in many large enterprises. The new SSH Key Discovery Service solution provides enterprises with full visibility and management over security and compliance issues within their secure shell environments, delivering an essential first step in asserting control over encrypted networks.
SSH Key Discovery Service Key Facts:
€ Supports organizations seeking to assess the scope of their SSH access control issues
€ Leverages battle-tested experience from deploying the largest SSH key remediation projects in the world to help customers rapidly prepare their network environments for the discovery process
€ Captures a complete current-state analysis of the SSH user key environment
€ Calculates security risks and compliance issues and lays out next steps to reduce the threat of exploitation
