* Company News (1) - SSH Celebrates the 10th Anniversary of Secure Shell
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The beginning of July marks the 10th anniversary of the Secure Shell protocol! Secure Shell was first released on July 12, 1995, by Tatu Ylonen, who later that year founded SSH Communications Security after receiving multiple requests for a feature-rich commercial version of the product. Secure Shell was the first product to offer a secure and highly functional means to remotely log in and to execute commands on remote servers in TCP/IP networks, and remains the de facto standard for secure file transfer and system administration used by millions worldwide. It solved the most important security problem on the Internet at the time by encrypting passwords sent over the network. Today, Secure Shell not only protects passwords, but also enables users to send and receive mission-critical data securely both internally and externally throughout the network.
