Meet compliance standards
It’s not a coincidence that 4/5 of big banks and US Federal agencies use Tectia. Many regulations, such as PCI-DSS and FIPS 140-2 require strong encryption for compliance. This is why Tectia supports X.509 PKI authentication, uses FIPS 140-2 certified cryptography, and supports smartcards, including U.S. Federal Government Personal Identity Verification (PIV) and Common Access Cards (CAC).
Transfer files faster
With Tectia SSH, you can rapidly encrypt and stream high volume secure file transfers via SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and Secure copy protocol (SCP) command line tools. Tectia also comes with a checkpoint/restart mechanism for transferring very large files in case of interruptions.
Secure remote access made easy
Making remote connections with Tectia is easy for technical and non-technical users alike. For example, you can assign users to groups with the option to select authentication methods or services as needed, transfer several files and entire directory structures at the same time, search files with a filter, or have multiple sessions to share the same authentication.
Protect 3rd party access
Tectia SSH Client and Server are fully interoperable with OpenSSH and standard SSHv2-compliant third-party implementations. You have the flexibility to stay secure with partners, subcontractors and consultants.
Integrate into heterogeneous environments
Tectia has secured interactive and automated connections for over 25 years. Its supported technologies range from legacy environments to modern hybrid environments including all flavors of Linux, Unix, and Windows and z/OS. This makes Tectia perfect for large-scale businesses and organizations around the globe.
We take responsibility
Our professional services team is always ready to help you succeed in large-scale deployments into multi-platform environments. We also offer 24/7 support for the most demanding customers around the globe.
Tectia SSH is developed and maintained fully in-house by a team of industry professionals. Tectia teams are well suited for environments where using open source is discouraged or outright prohibited.
Safeguard your M2M connections
When mission-critical data is in transit between machines, you need robust security around it. Tectia is the perfect solution for automated file transfers.
Secure tunneling for any connection
Encrypt and tunnel TCP connections regardless of the higher layer protocol (HTTP, FTP, LDAP, SQL, Modbus TCP, Ethernet IP, Profinet, etc). to safely pass through untrusted networks. Forward connections through intermediate servers without exposing target server credentials to the intermediate servers with agent forwarding.
Fully compatible with the SSH.COM Zero Trust portfolio
Tectia remote access connections can be made into Zero Trust compatible. A zero-trust connection eliminates permanent privileged access and unsecure superuser passwords, replacing them with just-in-time on-demand ephemeral certificates compatible with either X.509 or OpenSSH PKI. This will dramatically reduce the problems related to lost or compromised passwords, or unauthorized credentials.
Evolve with your needs into Post Quantum Cryptography
We have a 25-year track record as innovators in encryption and are a leading player in mitigating the threat of quantum computing with post quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum safe cryptography (QSC).
