SSH Communications Security has partnered with ReadySpace Limited, a cloud and managed hosting provider from Hong Kong. Under terms of the agreement, ReadySpace will add SSH's CryptoAuditor privileged user monitoring solution to their service offering.
CryptoAuditor is a network–based virtual appliance that monitors, controls and audits encrypted administrator sessions, third-party access and file transfers.
ReadySpace clients are now able to prevent data loss within the cloud-hosting environment by using CryptoAuditor to review the encrypted channel traffic with inline, real-time and transparent audit capabilities.
CryptoAuditor provides an audit trail storage that allows organizations to monitor and replay activities in real time and reduces the risk of data tampering.
With CryptoAuditor, ReadySpace ensures that client data will not be accidentally or maliciously transported outside the enterprise.
"In this age of data breaches and increasing regulation, organizations need a holistic approach to security,” said Ricky Ho, regional director, APAC, SSH Communications Security. “On the other hand, organizations also need to rely on outsourced IT and cloud services, which results in the need to monitor and audit encrypted channels. Cyber criminals are adept at finding new ways to bypass security measures, including using encrypted channels to obfuscate crimes.”
Siu Kin Ki , development director, ReadySpace Limited, adds: "Cloud security remains a top-of-mind issue and an increasing demand from customers. Thanks to this partnership, enterprise customers are now able to monitor privileged user activities in the cloud-hosting environment."
