Wal-MartStores has deployed a data
security and encryption system to secure data going over its global
network.
Wal-Mart went to SSH Communications Security to supply its
SSH Tectia
solution to enable secure remote access and deliver secure
end-to-end data file transfer throughout the retailer's
international network.
The SSH Tectia client/server solution secures sensitive company
data in transit, delivering strong encryption, support for
heterogeneous computing platforms and multiple authentication
technologies, along with enhanced
SFTP
(Secure File Transfer Protocol) capabilities.
Wal-Mart has also selected SSH Tectia Manager, a communications
security management platform to manage the enterprise-wide SSH
Tectia security solution.
"With the size and complexity of our environment, it was
important to find a solution that could be used on all platforms,"
said Kerry Kilker, Wal-Mart vice president of information
security.
"The centralised management of SSH Tectia Manager will enable us
to quickly deploy, easily maintain and simplify configuration
management in our environment.
That is where we expect to see the most return on investment
with this technology," said Kilker.
