SSH Inc. CEO to Outline End-to-End Security Needs and Benefits

SSH Communications Security Corp. (HEX:SSH1V), a world-leading provider of enterprise security solutions and end-to-end communications security, and the original developer of the Secure Shell protocol, today announced that George Adams, president and CEO of SSH Communications Security, Inc., will be speaking at the 2007 Techno Security Conference for the second consecutive year. Addressing the limitations of today’s security approaches in an environment of increasingly stringent regulatory compliance requirements, Adams' presentation will take place Tuesday, June 5, at 10 a.m. at the Marriott Resort at Grande Dunes in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Today's security approaches often fall short of providing complete protection for enterprise data and information because they typically focus on securing only select points of networking vulnerability. In addition, not all security models effectively meet an organization’s obligation to comply with existing and emerging privacy, security, auditing, and risk management regulatory requirements and legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

End-to-end communications security is a modern approach that overcomes the limitations of today's enterprise security approaches by protecting data in transit from start to finish. This concept of end-to-end security provides central manageability for both security software and policies across the enterprise, and vastly improves security against both internal and external risks by securing data communications inside and outside the firewall. An end-to-end security approach also ensures that mission-critical data is protected in compliance with key government regulations.

Adams will discuss the inherent limitations of existing enterprise security approaches and will outline key elements of an end-to-end IT infrastructure. He will also discuss the implications and pitfalls of new IT regulations and suggest alternative ways to achieve compliance.
