SSH Communications Security Partners with AppViewX for Certificate Management
April 16, 2018 – SSH Communications Security today announced its partnership with AppViewX, a global leader in the management, automation and orchestration of network infrastructure services in multi-cloud data centers. Leveraging AppViewX’s CERT+ product, the strategic technology partnership brings customers a comprehensive key and certificate management solution for on-premises, cloud and network devices.
Bundling CERT+ with SSH’s industry-leading Universal SSH Key Manager (UKM) product allows customers to manage the cornerstones of secure access to critical assets: cryptographic keys and digital certificates.
- UKM is the leading SSH key management solution on the market: With UKM, customers gain and retain full control of trusted access provisioning, significantly reducing the threat surface. The unique non-intrusive deployment model of UKM requires minimal changes to existing infrastructure and provides the lowest total cost of ownership for SSH key management – from the company that invented the SSH protocol.
- CERT+ adds digital certification process automation to SSH’s platform: CERT+ automates the discovery, issuing, expiration alerts, renewal, provisioning and revoking of digital certificates. In addition, the partnership strengthens multiple layers of security in both dynamic identification and secure access.
- The bundling of UKM and CERT+ is based on customer demand: Existing solutions are too cumbersome and expensive. Bloated vendors have become unresponsive. The combination of UKM and CERT+ delivers a best-of-breed solution, thereby protecting organizations from cyber breaches.
Joe Scaff, VP USA Operations & Customer Services, SSH Communications Security, said: “Working with AppViewX, we can offer better-priced and higher-performing key and certificate management solutions than any of the incumbent vendors in this space. We look forward to showing our customers the next generation of key and certificate management in our free SSH Secure Access Workshop that defines their threat profile and best practices for remediation.”
Mark Vondemkamp, EVP Marketing and Business Development, AppViewX, said: “AppViewX has always worked towards providing simplified solutions to all its customers. Through this partnership, we will be able to seamlessly cater to enterprises’ growing certificate lifecycle management needs with powerful yet cost-efficient tools. We believe this will help us further our vision of making NetOps and SecOps more agile through automation.”

One lost or stolen SSH key is one too many.
For CISOs, data center mangers and system admins, SSH keys have become a way of life. SSH keys grant, automate and enable single sign-on remote access to the digital core of every Fortune 500 company.
SSH keys are mission and business critical. They enable our major financial institutions, global industrials, tech giants and governments to function securely.
While the advantage of using encrypted keys is obvious, so is the problem. One legitimate key lost or stolen stolen gives hackers access to networks undetected – where they can create new permanent access keys for others.
In large enterprises, 90% of SSH keys are typically unused and unmanaged. They are a target for hackers. Snowden is infamous because he exploited weak key management.
SSH.COM is the originator of the SSH protocol. We are the trusted experts. We offer the only credible, permanent SSH key management solution for major businesses and organizations.
