* Product News (1) - Transparent Application Security with the Tunneling Expansion Pack
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While many organizations are already in the process of migrating all FTP and Telnet-based plaintext connections to secure alternatives, the attention of auditors is now shifting towards other application protocols that transmit plaintext passwords and unecrypted data content over the enterprise networks.
SSH Tectia Connector in the client side and SSH Tectia Server with Tunneling Expansion Pack allow transparent tunneling of TCP/IP-based in-house and commercial applications, without the need to modify existing applications or their configurations. Since the user experience will remain unchanged, costly end-user training and helpdesk calls can be eliminated. SSH Tectia Manager provides centralized management of software, configurations, and authentication keys, and reliable environment monitoring to minimize the total costs of deploying and maintaining secure application connectivity.
By deploying SSH Tectia Server for IBM z/OS, TN3270 terminal connections between Windows workstations and IBM mainframe systems can also be transparently secured.

* Tips & Tricks: Securing TN3270 connections with SSH Tectia Connector
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SSH Tectia Connector for Windows and SSH Tectia Server for IBM z/OS can be used to seamlessly secure TN3270 terminal connections between workstations and the IBM mainframe.
What software is required for securing TN3270 data?
1. On the Windows client host, you need to install SSH Tectia Connector and set the appropriate filter rules to encrypt all outgoing and incoming data of your TN3270 terminal emulator client software. Note that *no* modification to the terminal emulator or its network settings is required to interoperate with SSH Tectia Connector. As an option, SSH Tectia Connector software and the corresponding filter rules can be centrally deployed with SSH Tectia Manager.
2. On the IBM Mainframe, you need to install SSH Tectia Server for IBM z/OS and set SSH Tectia Server to allow tunneling (allowed by default).
SSH Tectia Connector uses the standard Secure Shell (version 2) protocol for strong authentication and encryption of the TN3270 terminal connections. In addition, SSH Tectia Connector can be used to secure any other TCP/IP application connections based on the application name, destination host, destination port, or any combination of these. It can also be used to block selected outgoing TCP/IP traffic.
The Tunneling Expansion Pack for SSH Tectia Server is available for transparent tunneling of both in-house and commercial applications running on Unix, Linux, and Windows servers.
