New SSH Tectia Solutions Provide Easy Interactive File Transfer Services for Remote Workers and Partners, and Reduce Cost of Legacy File Transfer Solutions HELSINKI, FINLAND and WELLESLEY, Mass. - October 27, 2009 SSH Communications Security (HEX:SSH1V), a forerunning provider of open-standards-based enterprise security and managed file transfer solutions, today announced SSH Tectia MFT Portal and SSH Tectia MFT z/Optimizer. SSH Tectia MFT Portal is an interactive file transfer portal with a web-based user interface to share files securely inside organizations as well as with external stakeholders. SSH Tectia MFT z/Optimizer enables the customers to migrate from the proprietary Sterling Connect:Direct file transfer solution to open-standards-based secure file transfers that can lead into significant cost savings. These new solutions complement SSH Tectia MFT Events and SSH Tectia MFT Auditor that SSH introduced earlier this year, and they enable the customers to further automate and extend their secure data flows. SSH Tectia MFT Portal provides a fast-to-deploy data sharing service for remote and traveling employees, marketing partners, subcontractors, and other users in need of easy and managed access to business data and materials. It facilitates both the “store-and-forward” and “on-the-fly-streaming” data transfer models to accommodate enterprise DMZ security policies and to keep the internal file transfer processes intact. It offers easy connectivity to the enterprise data repositories, ensuring timely availability of business data and materials for remote and external users. SSH Tectia MFT Portal facilitates data access with the back-end data repositories using a versatile selection of protocols, including secure file transfer protocols SFTP and FTPS, JDBC for database access, and SMTP or POP3 for e-mail access. Customization of the web-based portal views according to various user roles enables organizations to adapt the user experience to the actual business roles, tasks, and processes - and hides the complexities of the back-end file transfer and repository architecture from the user, regardless of the repositories and protocols used. SSH Tectia MFT z/Optimizer is a file transfer job conversion software for the IBM z/OS mainframe platform, which transparently converts file transfer jobs written for the Sterling Connect:Direct file transfer tool into the de-facto standard SFTP file transfer protocol. This enables enterprises to cost-effectively extend their legacy file transfer environment by utilizing the ubiquitous and secure SFTP protocol for flexible connectivity to distributed internal and external file transfer nodes. "SSH Tectia MFT Portal and SSH Tectia MFT z/Optimizer are a natural extension to the security automation capabilities of the SSH Tectia Managed File Transfer solutions suite," said Jari Mielonen,CEO of SSH Communications Security. "They expand the enterprises' file transfer connectivity by utilizing standard protocols and easy-to-use end user solutions, allowing organizations to optimize, secure, and standardize their data exchange interfaces with both internal units and partners, and to lower the licensing and operational costs of their file transfer infrastructures - saving time and improving cash flow." SSH Tectia MFT Portal and SSH Tectia z/Optimizer will be available by the end of 2009 directly from SSH Communications Security, and from its global network of sales channel partners.
