AMSTERDAM, October 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Teleplan supports international markets with high quality refurbished hard
disk drive (HDD) products, as well as working directly for leading global HDD OEMs which
sell over 550 million units per year
Teleplan International N.V., the leading global provider of high-tech after-market
services for the computer, communications and consumer electronics industries, is today
announcing a partnership with OneTS B.V. to strengthen its global sales channels for
refurbished Hard Disk Drive (HDD) products.
OneTS B.V. was established by Solid Storage Solutions B.V. founder Paul Church with
the aim of developing longer-term relationships with key partners and focussing solely on
the refurbished market. OneTS will be the principal sales channel for the majority of

Nok Nok Labs Adds Support for Apple Touch ID, Offering iPhone Users Simpler Yet Stronger Authentication
NNL(TM) Multifactor Authentication Client Brings Out-of-Band Authentication Capability to Mobile Devices
PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Nok Nok Labs, an innovator in modern authentication and a founding member of the FIDO Alliance, today announced its new implementation for the Apple iPhone®. The FIDO Ready(TM)NNL Multifactor Authentication Client (MFAC) now supports the public Touch ID API, released in iOS 8, on the iPhone. Any custom iPhone application integrated with Nok Nok(TM) client has the ability to leverage Apple's Touch ID fingerprint sensor to offer more secure online authentication to the growing range of Touch ID devices, which includes the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus.
With this update, Nok Nok Labs adds Touch ID support to its FIDO Ready products as well as Samsung's fingerprint-sensor enabled devices - two of the highest-selling smartphone lines. Both iPhone users and users of Samsung mobile devices can remotely authenticate to service providers that support the FIDO framework, such as PayPal and Alipay. MFAC reduces authentication complexity while improving the user experience, lowering costs, and reducing the reliance on passwords. The Nok Nok solution delivers best-in-class protection for authentication credentials on these devices, leveraging the Secure Enclave on iOS 8 and Touch ID-enabled devices.
"This new functionality demonstrates how the industry is broadly committed to the ideals that we had in mind as the visionary and founding member of the FIDO Alliance and the standardized protocol," said Phillip Dunkelberger, President & CEO, Nok Nok Labs. "Even companies who are not directly involved with FIDO are recognizing the need for a standardized approach to authentication that is simple and cost effective for the user yet remains highly secure. With this latest release of our products with support for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, we are showing the market that no matter the device, you can integrate once and authenticate anywhere."
This latest version of MFAC also supports out-of-band authentication on both iOS and Android devices, allowing mobile devices to authenticate using QR codes and push notifications. This feature makes it possible to use FIDO authentication on a separate device when there is no FIDO client on the primary device, such as a tablet or computer. QR codes bind the device to the user's account, which is helpful for authenticating on public machines, where it is not desirable to remember user information. Push notifications simplify the user experience for "remembered," or known devices. Users can control the devices that can access their account, and restrict access from lost devices.
By integrating FIDO Ready technology with Samsung devices, leveraging Touch ID on the iPhone, and enabling different authentication methods such as biometrics, PINs, and secure USB, the Nok Nok solution is able to provide FIDO support to a wide range of devices. Beyond Touch ID and the S5, users can also take advantage of the Nok Nok unified API on older devices with PINs and other authentication methods, without having to change the device. Thus, this modern authentication technology truly opens up stronger FIDO authentication to a significant percentage of mobile device users in a way that is cost-effective, easy to use, secure, and scalable.
Nok Nok Labs' Touch ID functionality will be available later in 2014. The out-of-band functionality is available today.
About Nok Nok Labs
Nok Nok Labs, Inc., based in Palo Alto, CA, was founded to transform online authentication for modern computing. The company is backed by a team of security industry veterans from PGP, Netscape, Oracle, PayPal, and Phoenix that have deep experience in building Internet scale security protocols and products. The company's solutions enable end-to-end trust across the web using authentication methods that are natural to end-users and provide strong proof of identity.

HTC's 'Double Exposure' Launch Redefines Mobile Imaging
RE, HTC Desire EYE, EYE Experience and Zoe herald new era for mobile imaging and beyond
NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- HTC, a global leader in technology innovation and design, today heralds a new era of innovation, and an exciting new direction for the business, with the introduction of a suite of breakthrough imaging products. Changing the face of mobile photography, HTC will launch RE, a remarkable little camera; the HTC Desire EYE, a brand new category-shifting phone; the HTC EYE(TM) Experience enhanced imaging software; and Zoe(TM), a collaborative video editing community.
"Today, HTC is once again changing the way that people think about technology," said Peter Chou, CEO, HTC Corporation. "Back in 1997, we allowed people to leave their laptops at home in favor of powerful, pocket-sized smartphone computing. Today we are taking a similar leap forward. Combining incredible hardware with unrivaled software, HTC is reinventing the way we think about imaging. We are taking you out from behind the viewfinder and putting you back where you belong, at the heart of the action."
RE: A remarkable little camera
Step out from behind the camera and live life in full view with RE, HTC's newest photography innovation. Re-imagining the point-and-shoot category, RE is a small handheld camera that allows you to naturally capture and fully experience the moment, through video and photography, without anything getting in your way.
With a stunning and unique cylindrical design made to fit comfortably in your hand, RE features a built-in grip sensor that instantly activates the camera when picked up, eliminating the need for a power button. Its single shutter button allows one tap to capture photos and a longer press for video recording so you won't miss the moment fumbling between modes.
Featuring a high-resolution, 16MP CMOS sensor, full HD (1080p) video recording, 146 degree wide-angle lens and slow-motion and time-lapse recording, RE will capture moments like you have never seen before. The RE app features a remote live viewfinder that lets you set up the perfect shot and watch the live action on the screen of your mobile device, or switch to album and playback view to flick through the shots and videos already stored on the camera. Because life's adventures are limitless, the app will also back everything up to your phone or the cloud automatically so you never need to worry about running out of space and missing a shot again. In addition, in the future, RE will offer real-time video streaming to YouTube, allowing you to live in the moment and share it live via your YouTube channel. The RE app will be available on both Android and iOS(1).
HTC Desire EYE: Simply the best selfies
Continuing HTC's heritage of breakthrough smartphone innovation, today also sees the launch of the company's new top-of-the-range HTC Desire model, the HTC Desire EYE. With one of the best front-facing cameras available on the market today, and software that puts you center frame and looking your best, the HTC Desire EYE captures life's big and small moments in perfect clarity. Sporting market-leading 13MP front and rear cameras for detailed image quality that allows you to zoom, crop and print without compromise, the HTC Desire EYE is fully equipped for those who love to take great photos, videos and selfies. BSI sensors capture crisp photos, even in low-light conditions, and intelligent dual-LED flash on both cameras provides flattering, natural tones when ambient light levels drop further.
Three dedicated microphones take HTC's signature audio quality to even greater heights, ensuring crystal clear voice and video calling whatever is going on around you. HTC BoomSound(TM) and a stunning 5.2" Full HD display combine to make the HTC Desire EYE the ultimate multimedia companion and the perfect way to view your photos and videos.
The bold, bright, dual-color, waterproof(2) unibody design is not only stylish but ensures that capturing your best side is as simple as possible, with a dedicated two-step camera key for focus, and capture providing comfortable, instant access to great shots, even one-handed.
Featuring HTC's new HTC EYE Experience and Zoe, with a Qualcomm® Snapdragon(TM) 801 processor and high-speed 4G connectivity, editing and sharing your best shots will also be smooth and effortless, wherever you are.
HTC EYE Experience: Designed for you
It's not just about the hardware though. The HTC EYE Experience takes mobile imaging software into a new league with unique features guaranteed to make you look your best.
Taking video chat and conference calls to a new level of quality and performance, The HTC EYE Experience's face tracking keeps you perfectly framed at all times. And because staying in touch means more than just talking to a single person, up to four people in the same room can also be tracked comfortably with each face cropped and positioned on the screen for maximum clarity. So enjoy the freedom and flexibility of services like Skype without worrying about exactly where you or your friends are standing, as the camera will follow everyone. Want to share even more on the move? The option of screen sharing brings desktop functionality to smartphone-based video chat for the first time.
The HTC EYE Experience opens up a new world of creative opportunity with the new Split Capture function. Combining simultaneous photos and videos taken on the front and back cameras into one split-screen image or video, this creates a new selfie experience, allowing you to document your journey and your reaction without relying on thumbnail views. Crop-Me-In places you at the heart of the action by cropping you from the image or video taken with the front-facing camera and positioning it within the scene captured by the main camera, opening the door to more extreme, exciting selfies and videos(3). Voice Selfie removes the need for awkward hand contortions by enabling you to trigger the shutter release with a simple command. Simply "say cheese" as soon as you've struck the perfect pose or trigger the video recording with "action" or "rolling" commands.
Popular additions to the HTC Desire 820 are also included in the HTC EYE Experience such as face fusion, the feature that allows you to merge your face with that of a friend or celebrity for a completely original look and Live Makeup, where you can set the desired level of skin smoothing and preview the effect in real-time before the image is captured.
Zoe: Life as you experience it
With the new Zoe collaborative video-editing app it's easy to remix your photos and videos into stylish highlight reels, with beautiful themes and soundtracks that can be shared. Allowing friends to remix their content with yours, Zoe creates the ultimate highlight video for all to enjoy and share through their favorite social networks.
Zoe 1.0 brings flexibility to the community, enabling short, medium and long Zoes that can be made up of just a couple of still images, or an entire series of video clips, with its new content engine(4) making it easy to present small numbers of clips or even individual images in an interesting, visually stunning way.
Integrating fully with RE, Zoe video highlights are automatically generated and ready to share. There is no need to edit, no need to sync to your PC, just simply upload them with a single touch. Available free of charge on Android now and coming on iOS later this year, Zoe 1.0 ushers in the next generation of creative social networking.
Availability
The HTC Desire EYE will be offered by AT&T exclusively at launch.
RE will initially launch in the US at HTC.com and Best Buy, and in time for the holidays at AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and Amazon.com.
HTC EYE Experience will roll out to the following models (full feature list to be confirmed at roll-out): HTC One (M7), HTC One (M8), HTC One (E8), HTC One mini, HTC One mini 2, HTC One Remix, HTC One Max, HTC Desire 612, and HTC Desire 816 in the coming months.

HAPPY VALLEY, Ore., Oct. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T's* new store design focused on the customers' mobile lifestyle is now a reality in the Portland area. The new store at the Clackamas Town Center transforms the entire shopping experience. The first of its kind in the Pacific Northwest, AT&T's new store concept is the result of more than two years of exploration and research all centered on one design goal - to create a more interactive and inviting store environment.
Clackamas County Commissioner Martha Schrader, Happy Valley Mayor Lori DeRemer and State Representative Jeff Reardon were among the first to experience the new store concept at a grand opening celebration today, which included a $25,000 donation to Oregon's Northwest Family Services.
"This Clackamas Town Center store is another example of AT&T's strong commitment to invest in the greater Portland area," said Mike Maxwell, Vice President, AT&T. "AT&T and its employees have contributed more than $1.1 million to giving programs in Oregon during the past five years, and as a part of today's store opening we are giving back through a $25,000 donation to Northwest Family Services."
Many of the new store design and merchandising elements were first seen in AT&T's award-winning flagship brand store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago and are now coming to other company-owned retail stores.
"We are committed to bringing job opportunities and new goods and services to Oregon consumers and this is the kind of investment that we want to celebrate as we continue to grow our local economy," said Reardon. "Any time we can celebrate the opening of a new store, especially one with a cutting-edge new retail concept in Oregon, it's a great day."
"As Clackamas County businesses and consumers rely more and more on mobile technology to stay in touch, announcements like this become even more important to our economic growth. We will continue to support policies that attract this sort of investment and advancement," said Clackamas County Commissioner Martha Schrader. "We've worked hard to build a business climate in Clackamas County that works for businesses and creates job opportunities."
Flexible Design
Everything about the store is designed for ultimate flexibility. It brings to life AT&T's mission, brand vision, and personality while encouraging self-discovery and satisfying curiosity. The store layout will highlight AT&T's products and services, devices and accessories across three unique "zones" - the Connected Experience Zone, the Community Zone, and the Explore Zone.
-- The new Connected Experience Zone features "lifestyle vignettes" that
offer customers a glimpse of how products can be used in customers'
everyday lives. These lifestyle pavilions will highlight categories such
as music, home security, entertainment and more.
-- Next is the Community Zone, featuring "community tables" that let
customers shop and play in an open and interactive space. This space
has apps, accessories and devices on display to show customers how they
can work together.
-- Finally, customers can check out the Explore Zone with "explore walls"
that showcase AT&T's diverse device line-up and accessories complemented
by digital monitors with product information.
"Customers visiting our Clackamas Town Center store will discover an interactive shopping experience built around their mobile lifestyle," added Maxwell. "Our goal is to be America's premier retailer by providing an exceptional experience in every interaction, and we've been working hard to exceed customer expectations by taking our stores and network to a new level here in Oregon."
Enhanced service experience
What you won't see in these new stores is almost as important as what you will see. Customers will no longer see the traditional retail "cash-register" counters. Instead, they'll find round cafe-style "learning tables" that allow for side-by-side interactions with the AT&T retail consultant to ask questions or learn about a product or service. All retail consultants carry a tablet supported by a new mobile point-of-sale system that allows them to help customers anywhere in the store.
Customers also won't see the printed product brochures common in many stores. With digital signage, e-brochures and interactive video monitors, they can have the information literally at their finger tips while giving AT&T the flexibility of updating messaging faster and more efficiently.
Store information
Hours for the new AT&T Clackamas Town Center store are Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. AT&T has more than 65 retail locations in Oregon.

Developers Encouraged to Submit Bold New Experiences Using SoftKinetic Technology
BRUSSELS, Oct. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SoftKinetic®, the world's leading provider of 3D vision and gesture recognition solutions, today announced its advanced technology now supports the new Oculus Rift Development Kit 2. SoftKinetic's sophisticated 3D vision technology, in conjunction with the Oculus Rift DK2, allows developers to create exciting, out-of-the-box virtual reality experiences using their hands for natural interaction and without the need for any additional controllers. SoftKinetic is hosting the ReachVR challenge, open to developers interested in creating unique and cutting-edge content using the Oculus Rift DK2 or any other VR headset with a camera powered by SoftKinetic's DepthSense® technology.
SoftKinetic's Time-of-Flight (ToF) DepthSense camera and tracking middleware iisu® allow the user to physically engage with their hands and fingers recreated in 3D, rather than use a standard hand model. The technology offers natural manipulation of objects and the environment as in the real world, in a wide variety of light conditions and with virtually no lag. In order to fit perfectly to the Oculus Rift DK2, SoftKinetic created a 3D model of a bracket which can easily be downloaded or ordered from http://www.softkinetic.com/ReachVR and mounted to the Oculus Rift to support the DepthSense camera. SoftKinetic also offers developers a full software package including Unity3D samples.
"At SoftKinetic we've focused on creating sophisticated 3D technology that supports the complex needs of augmented and virtual realities, and the Oculus Rift has been an important part in elevating the user experience and making it more accessible," said Mike Nichols, vice president of content & applications at SoftKinetic. "We're excited to have created the ReachVR challenge to encourage developers to design unique VR experiences that continue to shine a light on the vast capabilities in this exciting space."
SoftKinetic's ReachVR challenge is available to developers who have access to the Oculus Rift or any other VR headset as well as a camera powered by SoftKinetic's DepthSense technology, available for purchase at http://www.softkinetic.com/store or via http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EVWX7CG. The winner will be chosen based on the best use of DepthSense technology, the best sense of body awareness in VR and the best production value. The winner will receive a full access pass worth up to $1,495 to one of the following GDC conferences of his or her choice: GDC 2015 (San Francisco), GDC Europe 2015 (Cologne) or GDC China 2015 (Shanghai), as well as one iisu Pro 3.6 Perpetual commercial license valued at $1,499.
Challenge submissions will be accepted through November 15, 2014. For further details on the ReachVR challenge rules, to freely download the bracket model, the middleware and tools, go to http://www.softkinetic.com/ReachVR.
SoftKinetic will demonstrate its technology and use with the Oculus Rift during the Virtual Reality Meet Up at the Silicon Valley Virtual Reality Meet Up at the Hacker Dojo in Mountain View, California at 6:30 pm on Friday, October 10, 2014, as well as at the Paris Virtual Reality Meet up on Wednesday, October 15, 2014.

Offices spend $20,000 a year or more on their meeting rooms, but these rooms are empty nearly half of the time.[1],[2] That means companies are spending too much money on space that isn't being used. Ricoh Meeting Room Services, which incorporate market-leading technology from Condeco, address this inefficiency with an intelligent solution that minimizes "no-shows" by using ID sign-in technology and sensors to report occupancy rates and patterns in real-time.

Beginning with an expert assessment, Ricoh communication consultants work directly with customers to meet their specific needs.

"This partnership gives companies access to Ricoh's personalized service experience from the beginning, helping them continuously optimize their meeting rooms to make the most of their implementation."
While managers oversee room usage, individual employees can swipe their ID cards or enter PIN codes at any meeting room door to book the space on the fly, manage no-shows, begin meetings and release rooms at the end of the session. For further precision, wireless sensors can be added to remotely track actual room utilization.

Kantar Media Expands Asian Footprint With New TV Measurement Service in Malaysia
LONDON, October 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Astro will report subscribers' viewing behaviour across the operator's
channel base
Astro, Malaysia's leading integrated consumer media group that provides Pay TV and
radio services, has signed an agreement with Kantar Media to design, deploy and manage a
proprietary audience measurement service.
This service, the first of its kind in Malaysia, will use Kantar Media's return path
data (RPD) research techniques to collect data from its subscribers' set top boxes,
measure and then provide analysis of standard definition, high definition, time-shifted,
video-on-demand and interactive television viewing. In addition Astro will gather detailed
information on advertising spots across the entire TV operator's subscriber viewing base.
"We are pleased to be partnering with Kantar Media to offer significant improvements
to TV viewing measurements," commented Henry Tan, Chief Operating Officer at Astro. "The
DTAM system will deliver robust and accurate insights into customer behaviour that will
help us plan and develop our content more effectively. Advertisers and clients will also
benefit from the data-rich service, which will help them develop effective, targeted
campaigns to the right Malaysian households, and as such, maximise results from their
advertising investments."
This latest win reinforces Kantar Media's presence in Asia. The company already has
audience measurement services in Singapore, the Philippines, China, Vietnam and Hong Kong
and has recently secured services in Mongolia, Cambodia, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
Earlier this year Kantar Media announced its expanded partnership with Twitter on the
launch of new social TV measurement tools to include parts of south-east Asia.
Nick Burfitt, Global Director at Kantar Media Audiences, commented, "We are delighted
to be partnering with Astro to build and manage this new service. Our experience working
with Pay TV operators worldwide over the last decade to deploy services utilising our
best-in-class return path data technology will ensure that advertisers, agencies and
content producers gain real and useful insights into the viewing habits of Astro's
subscribers."
The new service will be built on two panels. The first comprises of data sourced from
80,000 IPTV/set top boxes in Malaysian homes to measure the viewing habits of urban,
affluent consumers. The second, a recruited panel of 4,000 homes, will represent viewers
in Astro's subscriber viewing base and will include homes sourced from Kantar Worldpanel's
existing Malaysia's household FMCG panel. It will combine real-time viewing with data on
what people purchase into a single source tool for accurate targeting and ROI measurement.
Kantar Media will work with Astro and Kantar Worldpanel to begin to deploy the service
in 2015.
In expanding the range, Victron Energy is meeting customer demand for lower output
chargers suitable for harsh environments. Just like the higher output ones, the new models
are very efficient, wasting three to four times less heat when compared to the industry
standard.
The series now comprises seven models, divided into a 12V and 24V models range. The
new Blue Power Charger IP67 12V series ranges from 12V/7A up to 12V/25A, the Blue Power
Charger IP67 24V series ranges from 24V/5A right up to the Blue Power Charger IP67
24V/12A. All models feature a cast aluminium casing with moulded resin encapsulated
electronics, so neither water, dirt nor oil can cause any damage. Its rugged waterproof,
shockproof and ignition protected design ensures that these Blue Power Chargers can be
used in many environments, be that a garage, shipyard, marina, campsite or in a
competitive racing environment.
Features of the Blue Power Charger IP67:
- Adaptive 4-stage charge algorithm. This feature will automatically optimize the charging
process relative to the way the battery is being used.
- Protected against overheating. Also suitable for hot environments such as a machine
room. Output current will reduce as temperature increases up to 60degree(s)C, but the
charger will not fail. - Storage mode. In the event that a battery has not been discharged
during a 24 hour period, the charger will switch to storage mode. In the storage mode
float voltage is reduced to minimise gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. This
feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulphation, which is a major cause
of early battery failure.
- Start interrupt on the high-end models. This feature prevents the starting of a
vehicle before the battery charger is unplugged.
Victron Energy provides power solutions to Marine, Industrial, Automotive, Mobility,
Off-Grid and Solar markets around the world. Founded in 1975 by Reinout Vader, Victron
Energy is based in Almere-Haven in The Netherlands.

PanelPilotACE Available from RS Components Slashes Development Time and Cost for Advanced Displays
SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- RS Components <http://kr.rs-online.com/> (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents plc <http://www.electrocomponents.com/> (LSE: ECM), the global distributor for engineers, has announced global stock of PanelPilotACE, a new hardware and software display platform created by Lascar Electronics that enables the rapid development of fully customised industrial and commercial user interfaces andpanel meters <http://kr.rs-online.com/web/c/automation-control-gear/panel-meters-components/>. PanelPilotACE's combination of a multifunctional touch-screen colour display with simple drag-and-drop design software removes the need for any coding, cutting development time by months for even the most advanced displays.
The PanelPilotACE Design Studio software provides a number of building blocks to allow users to easily add elements to their project. From background images to text elements, analogue and digital style meters, touch-screen navigation elements and even complex logic statements, users can rapidly build up sophisticated multi-screen interfaces without needing to write a single line of code.
When complete, designs are uploaded to the first PanelPilotACE compatible display hardware, theSGD 43-A, via USB. This display features multiple standard inputs and interfaces, providing the flexibility for users to implement touch-screen navigation, measurement and display of analogue, digital and bus inputs, as well as control of outputs and alarms.
The free to download PanelPilotACE Design Studio software comes with a library of pre-defined elements, but users can also create or import their own elements to allow plenty of scope for creativity -- enabling the display to be tailored for almost any industrial or commercial application.
The SGD 43-A <http://kr.rs-online.com/web/p/digital-panel-multi-function-meters/8006712/> is designed to be panel mounted, making it easy to integrate into a range of industrial and manufacturing applications and processes, but can just as easily be adapted for other commercial uses -- as a touch-screen control panel in medical devices, for monitoring in scientific research, or even as an information display in museums or other public buildings.
The low-profile display features a 4.3" capacitive touch-screen with an ARM 9 processor running embedded Linux. The display is powered either from USB or a 5V to 30V DC supply and offers users a wealth of hardware interfaces including four 16-bit bi-polar analogue inputs, eight digital input/output pins, two alarm outputs (max current sink 10mA) and four PWM outputs.
Users can test software on emulated hardware before uploading the designs quickly and easily via USB.
PanelPilotACE is available to purchase direct from stock at RS Components globally.

WALTHAM, Massachusetts and NUREMBERG, Germany, Oct. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A wave of new regulations is making Secure Shell key management a top priority for major financial institutions, enterprises and government agencies, and fines for failed audits can be significant. Today, SSH Communications Security unveiled Secure Shell HealthCheck⢠(http://www.ssh.com/healthcheck <http://www.ssh.com/healthcheck>), its new governance, risk and compliance (GRC) service for the data center, at this year's IT-SA Conference in Nuremberg.
This new service offering discovers major risk and compliance violations related to management, configuration and access controls over Secure Shell in data center environments, leading to reduced risk of failed audits and cybersecurity breaches from hackers or malicious insiders.
The service enables compliance with regulations and industry standards and helps remediate Secure Shell key mismanagement by:
* Providing a full analysis of the Secure Shell environment including trust maps, SSH key locations, separation of duties plus ten other significant risk areas * Delivering deep dive analysis and recommended actions * Enabling high-level visualization and risk management reporting for CISOs * Providing compliance analysis across multiple mandates, including PCI-DSS, BASEL III and NIST SUPPORTING QUOTES:Christian Kress, general manager, DACH, SSH Communications Security, said:"Too few companies are fully aware of the risks associated with lax Secure Shell key management. Secure Shell HealthCheck provides organizations with a complete view into their Secure Shell environments and a detailed assessment of security and compliance risks impacting their data centers. When production servers are accessible with unknown keys and where access to those servers violates policy -- a common scenario we encounter -- the risks to the business are evident."
Kalle Jaaskelainen, vice president, product management and services, SSH Communications Security, said:"At many enterprises there is a lack of awareness of the role Secure Shell plays in critical day-to-day operations. Secure Shell key-based authentications can easily outnumber many other logins within the data center. While companies have implemented access controls and management procedures for employee login and external facing web applications, even basic security controls like key size, strength and type, rotation and de-provisioning are not part of the IT regimen for data center access controls. Our Secure Shell HealthCheck service provides the actionable information needed to improve security and access controls."
