Data Fellows announces F-Secure SSH for Internet Service Providers
Telecom Finland the first ISP to integrate strong encryption with commercial
Internet services
Helsinki, Finland - Data Fellows, the leading Internet security solutions
provider, announced today a new version of their popular F-Secure SSH
product, setting a new level of security for Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
F-Secure SSH for ISPs gives the customers of an Internet Service Provider
unmatched security by using the SSH security mechanism. The SSH protocol is
currently being standardized by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)
as an application-level security mechanism to be used in conjunction with
Internet protocols. SSH is already widely used by security-conscious
organizations around the world.
The first user of F-Secure SSH for ISPs is Telecom Finland, who bundle the
product with their Internet services. "Since we are the leading
telecommunications operator in Finland, we need to assure that our services
are reliable and data security maintained at a high level" says Mr. Harri
Johannesdahl, Director of Internet Services, Telecom Finland. "Good security
features also help us maintain our leading edge in this highly competitive
market."
The F-Secure product line offers strong end-user authentication and
encryption of any transferred data. Because the technologies are of European
origin, they are not limited by U.S. Export control. Internet Service
Providers around the world can now add strong security to their product
offering.
"Our F-Secure line of products guarantees ultimate security on the Internet.
Now companies can use the Internet as a serious business tool without the
fear of compromising their corporate assets because of any lack of
security", explains Mr. Risto Siilasmaa, CEO of Data Fellows Inc. "Also
private Internet users will benefit from this development."
The authentication of users dialling in is done with cryptography, making
management and access control much easier to arrange on a large scale.
Dialling in can be done through any network structure, including the
Internet itself, facilitating Internet roaming.
"Internet users will gain immediate benefit from F-Secure products. And the
emerging concept of 'extranets' between companies cannot launch safely
without strong authentication and encryption mechanisms", concludes Mr.
Siilasmaa.
