New Version of Tectia Guardian Provides Easy and Cost-Effective Security, Auditing, and Governance


HELSINKI, FINLAND and WELLESLEY, Mass. - October 13, 2010

Tectia Corporation, formerly SSH Communications Security Corp. (HEL: TEC1V),
the market maker in real-time security software for modern, networked
organizations, today announced the release of a new version of Tectia Guardian,
which provides the fastest track to enforcing security controls, meeting
security standards, and ensuring business continuity. 

Tectia Guardian is part of Tectia Manage Solutions, which allow organizations
to ensure that their critical business infrastructure is secure, reliable, and
compliant with relevant industry regulations and standards. Tectia Guardian in
particular provides a proactive set of security controls for critical data
channels to minimize the risk of security breaches. 

It is a unique governance tool, which integrates into existing IDS/DLP
(Intrusion Detection System/Data Loss Prevention) solution. It allows
enterprises and governmental agencies to activate auditing and control of their
critical services and outsourced IT operations without changing their daily
operations, infrastructure, or user experience, ensuring the lowest
implementation and operational costs. 

The inspection, full replay, and archiving of internal and external remote
administration connections helps to ensure accountability and meets the data
security compliance requirements of regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
(SOX), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), Federal
Information Security Management Act (FISMA), and U.S. Department of Defense
(DoD) directives and other mandates requiring encrypted traffic to be
inspected, audited and controlled. 

Tectia Guardian 3.0 enhances its comprehensive list of supported protocols,
allowing companies using VMWare View™ and the latest Windows™ protocols to take
full advantage of their environment. Support for secure file transfer protocols
allows organizations to extend auditing and control from remote system
administration to secure file transfers.  Available as a virtual appliance,
Tectia Guardian 3.0 also provides enhanced availability, and search and
reporting functions. 

“Tectia Guardian is the only solution available that logs and records every
session transparently and performs a step-by-step inspection and auditing of
both encrypted and unencrypted traffic to identify any potential threats to the
internal and external network.” said Jouni H. Leinonen, COO & EVP of Customer
and Market Operations of Tectia Corporation. “Full playback and archiving of
sessions creates a valuable auditing and forensics tool eliminating many
potential security threats and ensuring regulatory compliance.”
