HELSINKI and WALTHAM, Mass., July 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SSH Communications Security today announced that its CryptoAuditor privileged access management solution is now available on the AWS Marketplace.

CryptoAuditor is a network-based virtual appliance that has the capability to control, monitor and audit encrypted administrator sessions, as well as file transfers. Because CryptoAuditor requires no agents to be deployed or access portal to go through, it is fast to implement and has no impact on end-user experience or workflows. CryptoAuditor provides AWS customers with the means to enhance the security of their cloud operations beyond base-line bastion host or gateway models. Customers will be able to deploy CryptoAuditor as an Amazon EC2 instance directly from the AWS Marketplace and enable the auditing functionality by obtaining a license via SSH Communications Security or from one of its channel partners.

CryptoAuditor offers these benefits to AWS customers:

• Accountability and review: Full session recording, search and playback features enforce accountability for privileged user operations within the cloud. Powerful visual playback of administrator sessions provides fast and powerful review for troubleshooting and incident response, beyond simple log entries. 
• Fast, easier access: Transparent bastion host and user mapping capabilities enable fast access to system and application accounts in the cloud for administration and management purposes, without additional authentication steps – while enforcing full session recording and accountability for privileged users. No changes are required to the end-user tools, workflow or the target host instances, enabling cost-effective access to enhanced security on AWS.
• A flexible solution: Distributed architecture designed for virtual and cloud environments enables flexible deployment and adaptability to changes in cloud and network environments. No additional software needs to be installed on the user workstations or AWS instances.

Matthew McKenna, COO, SSH Communications Security, said:
"CryptoAuditor provides a streamlined, budget-friendly access management solution for the benefit of AWS customers. This powerful new component monitors and records the activities of privileged users without interfering with their normal workflow."
