Press release

Major global financial institution chooses Universal SSH Key Manager®

The contract now covers access control and centralized key management for over 50,000 servers globally with an additional contract value of EUR 850,000. Once fully implemented, this will be one of the largest secure shell access control and centralized key management deployment to date in the world.

Sales revenue from this deal will be recognized during the fiscal year 2018. The contract value includes the reseller’s share.

Large enterprises may have up to millions of key pairs authorizing automated access to production environments, with no auditability of who can access what or proper termination of access when authorized users leave the organization. Auditors and security specialists are waking up to the fact that authentication keys need the same kind of protection, control, and audit possibilities as passwords and encryption keys.

Universal SSH Key Manager helps enterprises access their digital core with zero friction, zero inertia, and zero passwords. The product is unique in being able to simultaneously manage, deploy, and rotate user authentication keys for large-scale secure shell environments.

“With Universal SSH Key Manager, the leading SSH Key Management solution on the market, our clients can get their entire SSH key inventory under management and ensure their business continuity, reach regulatory compliance, and improve their security posture while at the same time improving their operational efficiency,” said Ms. Kaisa Olkkonen, CEO of SSH.COM. “We have developed a more modular and agile approach to key management and have renewed the UKM product accordingly. This deal is one indicator that this approach and our renewed focus on UKM is paying off.”

Several other global financial institutions are currently using Universal SSH Key Manager to secure their mission-critical applications and data. The product enables an unmatched level of security, automation, and operational cost savings for SSH key management beyond any competitor on the market.
