Harri Koponen, CEO, SSH Communications Security, said: "Enterprises, financial institutions and federal agencies are concerned about making the transition to cloud services, despite the obvious benefits in flexibility and reductions in cost. Malicious actors often use encrypted channels to hide theft of sensitive data from the network environment. We designed the latest version of CryptoAuditor to deploy into federal and commercial cloud environments to transparently monitor, audit and control encrypted channels throughout the application layer and OS-level cloud stack while minimizing the risks that arise from third-party access to server data. This gives organizations unprecedented transparency while ensuring that work flow is maintained in the cloud environment."

Tony Morbin, editor in chief, SC Magazine UK, said: "SSH Communications Security's solution represents some of the most innovative and effective security technology on the market today. As attackers develop and practice new approaches to compromising sensitive information, companies are challenged to keep pace. CryptoAuditor was nominated an SC Award finalist for its efforts to raise the bar for the security industry."
