HELSINKI and WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SSH Communications Security, known the world over as the inventor of the ubiquitous secure shell and SFTP protocols and secure shell key management solutions, today announced that it has been selected as a finalist in the Annual 2013 Golden Bridge Awards in two categories: Network Security Management and Encryption Key Management Innovations.

• SSH's CryptoAuditor solution delivers immediate control and accountability over privileged access users, closing significant security gaps and reducing the risk from advanced external threats by controlling and monitoring information as it moves throughout the environment.

"Many organizations' network environments are filled with lost or forgotten Secure Shell keys, many of which are used for machine-to-machine (M2M) access that makes up 90 percent of the network environment.  We are committed to our customers' security by helping them prevent data breaches while aligning with compliance regulations.
