Fundamental Security
IP Security
SSH was a key contributor in the development of the IPSec (IP Security) protocol, and patents used in IPSec solutions. IPSec is a central part of VPN and firewall solutions connecting home users to offices, the increasingly popular IPv6 Internet protocol and cellular systems, making the SSH patent portfolio valuable in related industries. IPSec is also used in DSL modems, mobile phones, and telecommunications infrastructure.
Better network protection
Firewall IP
Active in the early development of NAT Traversal technologies, SSH has several pending patents for its NQX products in relation to the implementation of high-performance firewalls and line encryption solutions. Firewall technology is rapidly changing due to new hardware and software architectures that enable faster, more flexible, and more secure processing and modern web-based user interfaces.
Keeping keys in order
SSH Key Management
SSH has an extensive and unrivaled portfolio of issued and pending patents related to SSH key management. Many of the applications have a 2011-2012 priority date. They cover almost all aspects of SSH key management and underpin our class-leading software.
Into the new frontier
Cloud security and DevOps
SSH has a number of patents and pending patent applications that it expects to become fundamental in the areas of cloud secrets management, cloud access management, cloud access security brokers (CASB), and the management of SSH keys and other credentials in the cloud.
Monitoring encrypted traffic
SSH monitoring & control
SSH has several pending and issued patents related to monitoring, recording, display, and policy enforcement of encrypted sessions, including through firewalls. These inventions are central for high-performance Privileged Access Management solutions.
Goodbye to passwords
Ephemeral Access
SSH has several issued and pending patents on secure passwordless access and other key technologies related to its PrivX Privileged Access Management solution. These inventions remove the need for permanent privileged credentials or passwords altogether, helping customers implement a zero standing privileges (ZSP) strategy through a just-in-time (JIT) model.
