Tatu Ylönen to Underscore Benefits of End-to-End Communications Security for Complete Enterprise Defense and Regulatory Compliance

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 company founder, Tatu Ylönen, will speak at the CSI 2007 Conference. Focusing on the fundamental restrictions of today's security approaches and rigorous regulatory compliance requirements, Ylönen's presentation will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 6, at 10:30 a.m. at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Va.

Today's enterprise security approaches often secure only select points of networking vulnerabilities or place disproportionate emphasis on external threats, compromising an organization's ability to achieve comprehensive data protection. In addition, few security models effectively meet existing and emerging privacy, security, auditing, and risk management regulatory requirements and legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS), 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 models by providing a thorough defense for enterprises while helping ensure adherence to government regulations. Protecting data communications from start to finish, end-to-end communications security offers central manageability for both security software and policies across the enterprise, vastly improving security against both internal and external risks by securing data communications inside and outside the firewall.

In his presentation, Ylönen will discuss the disadvantages of existing IT security models and outline key elements of end-to-end communications security. He will also discuss the steps necessary to proactively prevent data compromise while simultaneously achieving regulatory compliance.
