New SSH Tectia MobileID Solution Provides Fast-to-Deploy,
   Effortless and Strong Authentication Via the Mobile Phone for
                      SaaS and Cloud Services

HELSINKI, Finland and WELLESLEY, Mass., Feb. 16, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
-- SSH Communications Security (Helsinki:SSH1V), the forerunning
provider of open-standards-based enterprise security and managed file
transfer solutions, today announced the SSH Tectia MobileID
authentication platform.

SSH Tectia MobileID is a strong two-factor authentication service that
utilizes the most readily available authentication device, the end
user's existing mobilephone, to provide higher security and ease of use
for user authentication to various enterprise services. A one-time
password is sent to a user's mobilephone when logging in to a service.

SSH Tectia MobileID enables organizations to activate new partners,
users, or ad-hoc accounts within minutes instead of days, and removes
the costs of distributing, maintaining, and replacing additional
hardware such as security tokens or other devices. Two-factor
authentication increases security by requiring something that the user
knows (user name and password), and something that the user has (e.g.
the mobile phone).

"The SSH Tectia MobileID authentication platform introduces a new level
of flexibility, usability and security for enterprise user
authentication," said Jari Mielonen, CEO of SSH Communications
Security. "It enables secure access to critical business resources,
without changing business processes or requiring the user to learn or
install new hardware or software. The combination of high security,
high usability, and low cost of maintenance lead to improved
operational efficiency and lower costs."

SSH Tectia MobileID enables strong authentication for multiple
enterprise services, including file transfer portals, intranet
applications, business information systems, or cloud services. In
addition to mobile phone based authentication, it can also be used with
other authentication solutions, such as hardware tokens, reusable SMS
tickets, or printable lists of one-time passwords. Its fast deployment
and flexible management capabilities make SSH Tectia MobileID a
powerful secure access component for SaaS (Software as a Service) and
cloud services.

SSH Tectia MobileID is now available directly from SSH Communications
Security, and from its global network of sales channel partners. Visit
