“SSH Communications Security (SSH), the world-leading developer
of Internet security technologies and developer of the Secure Shell
standard, today announced SSH(R) Secure Shell(TM) 2.2. With over
three million users in 80 countries, SSH Secure Shell is the
recognized de-facto standard for secure remote administration and
secure file transfers over the Internet. SSH Secure Shell 2.2 is
available for Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT, and 2000 and Sun
Solaris 2.6 and 7, RedHat and SuSe Linux distributions based on 2.2
kernel, FreeBSD and NetBSD, HP/UX 10.20 and 11.x, Compaq Tru64
UNIX, and many other platforms….”

Secure Shell encrypts all passwords and data transmitted
over the Internet. This protects Internet servers against the most
common break-in method used by hackers – stealing passwords from
the Internet.
SSH Secure Shell, with the graphical file
transfer interface, is ideal for securely maintaining Web servers,
UNIX servers, as well as for accessing corporate resources from
home and travel.”

“Companies can no longer make excuses for a poor or non-existent
security infrastructure. Part of effective network protection is
ensuring that remote communications are not a risk to users,” said
George Adams, president and CEO of SSH, Inc. “SSH Secure Shell
guarantees that information sent over the Internet is strongly
encrypted. With the new functionality that version 2.2 offers,
Secure Shell is easier to use than ever and even more of an asset
to any corporate network.”
