Open Text Releases High-Performance Secure Shell Server Solution

(Oct 03, 2008)-- Open Text introduced Connectivity Secure Server, a high-performance scalable solution for secure network access from Hummingbird, the Open Text Connectivity Solutions Group. Based on the industry-standard Secure Shell protocol, Connectivity Secure Server offers faster file transfer of critical data on a small server footprint and meets key security requirements in regulations spanning multiple industries.
Industry standards and government regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) require organizations to constantly strengthen the protection of mission-critical information such as credit card records, patient data or customer information. With billions of dollars of annual losses attributed to security breaches, corporations are under increasing pressure from auditors and shareholders to eliminate non-secure legacy systems.

Connectivity Secure Server offers a complete replacement for Telnet and FTP servers, providing organizations with the same flexibility and convenience as these protocols, but in a much more secure environment. Strong authentication methods, FIPS 140-2 validated encryption and robust content integrity allow network administrators to provide secure remote access and secure file transfer, as well as network traffic encryption.

Built on a highly efficient architecture, Connectivity Secure Server supports a high number of simultaneous user sessions while minimizing memory and processor footprint, allowing organizations to eliminate unnecessary hardware and energy costs required by their previous solutions. Coupled with Connectivity SecureTerm(R), the industry's first desktop- and Web-based Secure Shell client, Connectivity Secure Server offers a cost-effective and high-performance point to point security solution.

"With Connectivity Secure Server, Open Text strengthens its commitment to providing its Global 2000 customers with an innovative, enterprise-focused solution to help them achieve their compliance objectives," said Eugene Cherny, General Manager, the Open Text Connectivity Solutions Group. "We are extremely excited about the release of this new product and want organizations to realize they do not need to compromise between security, performance and costs to fulfill their security needs."
