SSH Communications Security Strengthens Technology Team and Authors a Book on Secure Shell
SSH Communications Security, Inc. (SSH), the world-leading developer of Internet security and advanced cryptography solutions, today announced the additions of Rodney Thayer, director of technology and Anne Carasik, consulting engineer. The company also announced the release of Carasik's new book on network security, "Using Secure Shell."
"Both Anne and Rodney bring a wealth of knowledge within the Internet security segment of the industry," said George Adams, President and CEO of SSH Communications Security, Inc. "Rodney has been particularly instrumental in shaping new Internet security standards and fostering the growth of Internet security. Anne's and Rodney's participation in the growth of our new U.S. company will be crucial in developing even stronger customer relationships both domestically and internationally. Anne's new book will help educate users about Internet security and its importance."
Thayer brings over 20 years of experience in designing, implementing, deploying and troubleshooting computer-networking systems. He is an active participant in the standardization of network security protocols and practices through organizations such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the TLS Working Group. He was recently named to the board of directors of the new VPN Consortium. Thayer frequently lectures and writes articles for publications such as Data Communications, and has contributed pieces on IPSec's (Internet Protocol Security) roadmap and Open PGP (Pretty Good Privacy). He has helped network technology vendors FTP Software, Data General, Microsoft and several high-tech startups develop new security products. Additionally, Thayer has helped large end-user organizations including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Union Carbide, as well as international financial institutions, manufacturing, and applications software organizations develop and deploy IP security in large networks.
As consulting engineer, Carasik will participate on network security related projects including IPSec Internet security packages. Prior to SSH, she worked on network and system security at VeriSign, Inc. Carasik has also held positions as network security consultant at International Network Services and technical consultant for Hewlett-Packard, developing Internet infrastructure and Internet security. Her experience includes penetration testing, incident response, network security architecture and instruction. In addition to her most recent work, "Using Secure Shell," Carasik is also the author of "Linux System Administration."
"Using Secure Shell," targeted toward network and system administrators, will provide the number one resource for securely logging into computer systems from any remote workstation, executing commands, and moving files from one computer to another. The book details the strongest authentication and encryption techniques for use over insecure channels while addressing the crucial security issues that administrators must consider when protecting data and systems from unauthorized use.
