Highly-regulated financial institutions are required to protect and manage their environment with supported, proper cybersecurity solutions. A major Asian regional bank has relied on SSH Communication Security’s (SSH) renowned solutions, such as Tectia, for secure file transfers, secure remote system administration, encryption, and system automation safeguarding. The bank has also increased their governance efforts by ensuring proper lifecycle management and automation of SSH keys by acquiring Universal SSH Key Manager for key protection. SSH keys are a common authentication method used to gain access to an encrypted connection between systems.

With this 3-year enterprise agreement, the customer will continue to invest in SSH solutions to secure their critical operations.  As part of the agreement, the customer has also started a project to future-proof their connections with quantum-safe encryption from SSH.

Migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is being accelerated by many authorities around the world – including the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Earlier this year, MAS has published an advisory, urging financial institutions to begin preparing their cryptographic systems for risk posed by quantum computing.

“We are pleased to expand our partnership with the leading bank as we protect their operations and further help them fulfill governance and audit requirements”, said Rami Raulas, Interim CEO of SSH. “The transaction was completed together with DT Asia and Fujitsu as our partners. Working with our partners is key to our future growth in the Asian markets”, Raulas concludes.
