CyberTrust Consulting vs SSH Communications Security

About SSH Communications Security

SSH Communications Security sells privileged access management solutions for tech-driven companies where software and dynamic infrastructure are core to competitive advantage. SSH covers access for workloads, developers and automation in one unified model, including humans, AI agents and machine identities.^[3]

PrivX™ PAM provides Just-in-Time Privileged Access with Zero Standing Privileges, ephemeral certificates and an immutable architecture. PrivX PAM provides real-time session monitoring and audit trails. PrivX PAM provides granular control, automated entitlement management and real-time risk analytics. PrivX has a cloud-native, microservices-based architecture and an agentless design. PrivX secures privileged access across hybrid cloud environments with a passwordless, keyless Zero Trust approach. PrivX and NQX provide quantum-safe, encrypted connectivity between sites.^{[3][5][6][13]}

SSH describes the need to give employees and contractors access to systems such as PLCs, HMIs, SCADA and DCS, engineering workstations, network devices and legacy equipment across distributed sites. SSH states that the challenge is providing that access without broad VPN connectivity, shared accounts, rogue credentials, persistent privileges or gaps in session visibility. PrivX OT centralizes identity, authorization, session control and audit across modern and legacy operational environments. PrivX OT brokers access to authorized assets and services. PrivX governs access to a range of operational assets and lets users work in a browser or an approved native application, depending on task and target system. PrivX OT provides protocol-agnostic connections and secure file transfers. SSH provides vendors and contractors with Just-in-Time access tailored to their specific tasks.^[5][7]

PrivX™ Key Manager automates cryptographic key lifecycle management from generation and rotation to distribution and revocation. SSH delivers secure file transfer solutions built on protocols such as SFTP and SCP. Tectia® SSH Server delivers policy-driven secure access. Tectia SSH Server provides encrypted file transfers, secure TCP tunneling and remote access. Tectia uses X.509 PKI authentication to protect sensitive data and support compliance with FIPS, PCI-DSS, HIPAA and GDPR. Tectia interoperates with Linux, Windows, UNIX and IBM z/OS mainframes and supports OpenSSH and other SSHv2-compliant implementations. Tectia Server lets organizations protect against quantum attacks using NIST-approved post-quantum algorithms. Tectia supports smartcards, including U.S. federal government PIV cards like CAC and YubiKey (PIV mode). Tectia z/OS is an SSH client and server for IBM z/OS mainframe environments. Tectia z/OS supports secure file transfers and remote access.^{[3][8][9][10]}

NQX™ is a TL III (EU Confidential) certified quantum-safe network encryptor that protects data in transit at Layer 2 (Ethernet) and Layer 3 (IP) at up to 100 Gbps line rate. NQX secures data in transit and combines classical and post-quantum cryptography. SSH secures privileged human and non-human identity (NHI) access to critical targets with quantum-safe sessions. SSH offers quantum safe tunneling for TCP applications without changing the apps.^[8][11]

SSH sells secure collaboration solutions covering email, messaging, file transfers and chat rooms with encryption and authentication. SalaX protects email with encryption, authentication and data sovereignty, and is integrated with existing email systems, including Gmail and Outlook. SalaX includes encrypted messaging, voice and video calls built on the Matrix protocol. FQX is used to encrypt and decrypt files, protect against malware payloads and manage permissions. Attachments and shared files can be protected by FQX File Encryptor. Secure Rooms support multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) and enable two-way collaboration with external partners. Secure Forms collects and stores confidential data with encryption and access controls. SSH collaboration solutions are built in Europe and offer deployment on-premises, in the cloud or in private air-gapped networks.^{[3][4][7][11]}
