Instrumentointi Oy, one of the IT Security Leaders in Europe, Enters the Forefront of IPSec Compliant Vendors by Licensing SSH IPSEC Express Toolkit from SSH Communications Security

Instrumentointi Oy will support the international IPSec standard in the coming version of company's SecGo® Crypto IP 2.0 product. The company licensed this technology from SSH Communications Security. Instrumentointi is a major supplier of communications security in Finland and throughout Europe. SSH Communications Security is the only European company in the core group developing the IPSec standards and technology based on them.

"SecGo® Crypto IP is an excellent product that already has a vast user base with important market share in the healthcare and banking communities," comments Tatu Ylönen, President and CEO of SSH Communications Security. "This deal illustrates the quality of the SSH IPSEC technology; it is designed to meet the needs of even the most demanding customer groups."

"SSH IPSEC Express is proven technology at the right cost. With profound documentation and clean interfaces, it allows our next generation products to be fully IPSec-compliant. It also allows us to support more platforms without the maintenance burden," says Martti Savolainen, SecGo Business Manager of Instrumentointi Oy.

Interoperability is one of the most important things in the IT security field. SSH has taken part in the international interoperability workshops since the beginning. SSH's solutions are selected as reference by other major IPSec vendors who have tested their products against SSH to ensure their compliance with the standard.

SecGo® Crypto IP (Client & Server) 2.0 secures TCP/IP networking between remote offices, business partners, and traveling employees as well as data communications in local area networks. Both the encryption of data communications and user authentication are based on strong cryptography. Users are authenticated using smart cards and PIN codes.
