Take your secure file transfer, remote access & tunneling to the next level
Tectia technology provides maximum security for your data in transit with industry-leading reliability, efficiency, and speed. Available as Quantum-Safe, Zero Trust, or z/OS edition.
The original Tectia SSH Client/Server
Tectia technology provides maximum security for your data in transit with industry-leading reliability, efficiency, and speed. Tectia is a software solution that secures end-to-end communication within corporate networks, but most importantly it secures network services over untrusted networks like the Internet.
The award-winning Secure Shell or SSH technology provides secure, encrypted and authenticated communications between two non-trusted hosts. Users can establish secure connections to remote hosts, execute commands on the remote hosts securely, copy remote files securely, and forward X11 sessions (on Unix). Arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded (tunneled) over a secure channel, enabling secure application connections, for example, to an e-mail service. Tectia products are based on Secure Shell (SSH) technology originally developed by the founders of SSH Communications Security.
Meet compliance standards
Tectia supports strong encryption. It supports X.509 PKI authentication, uses FIPS 140-2 certified cryptography, and supports smartcards, including U.S. Federal Government Personal Identity Verification (PIV) and Common Access Cards (CAC).
Secure remote access
Making remote connections with Tectia is easy for technical and non-technical users alike. For example, you can assign users to groups with the option to select authentication methods or services as needed, transfer several files and entire directory structures at the same time, search files with a filter, or have multiple sessions to share the same authentication.
Transfer files faster
With Tectia SSH, you can rapidly encrypt and stream high-volume secure file transfers via SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and Secure copy protocol (SCP) command-line tools. Tectia also comes with a checkpoint/restart mechanism for transferring very large files in case of interruptions.
Secure any connection with tunneling
Encrypt and tunnel TCP connections regardless of the higher layer protocol to safely pass through untrusted networks. Forward connections through intermediate servers without exposing target server credentials to the intermediate servers with agent forwarding.
Integrate into heterogeneous environments
Tectia supported environments range from legacy to modern hybrid cloud, including all flavors of Linux, Unix, Windows, and z/OS. This makes Tectia perfect for large-scale businesses and organizations around the globe.
Protect third-party access
Tectia is fully interoperable with OpenSSH and standard SSHv2-compliant third-party implementations. You have the flexibility to stay secure with partners, subcontractors, and consultants.
Safeguard your M2M connections
When mission-critical data is in transit between machines, you need robust security around it. Tectia SSH is the perfect solution for automated file transfers.

Features
Secure File Transfer
The Tectia client/server solution allows organizations to replace plaintext file transfer protocol (FTP) connections with secure file transfers in cross-platform environments. File transfers can be secured by applying the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).
SFTP allows secure copying, moving, editing, and removing of files over TCP/IP networks. Scripted file transfers between enterprise servers can be secured by using the Tectia command-line SFTP and SCP (Secure Copy) tools with automated and ad hoc file transfers.
Secure Application Connectivity
The Tectia client/server solution can be used to replace unsecured TCP-based terminal connections (for example, Telnet) to business-critical enterprise applications. Through strong encryption and data integrity, the Tectia client/server solution protects sensitive data and passwords against unauthorized access, facilitating compliance with regulations and best practices. Strong authentication of users is supported through broad integration with third-party authentication, including RSA SecurID and public-key infrastructure (PKI).
The way Tectia client/server solution secures data communication between standard TCP-based applications is through tunneling or port forwarding. Tunneling is a way to forward otherwise unsecured application traffic through Secure Shell. Tunneling can provide secure application connectivity, for example, to POP3, SMTP, and HTTP-based applications.
Secure System Administration
The Tectia client/server solution is used by system administrators as a replacement for unsecured login protocols, such as Rlogin, Telnet, and FTP. The Tectia Client software is installed in the system administrator's workstation and the Tectia Server software in the managed server. Typically, the number of servers is much higher than the number of client installations. In numerous active Tectia implementations, there are thousands of Tectia Server instances installed within a corporate network. With the Tectia client/server solution, administrators can log in to remote hosts securely, as their user ID and authentication information are transmitted over the network in encrypted format.
High Performance
Tectia applies third-generation Secure Shell protocol implementation, SSH G3, which has been optimized for higher performance in demanding file transfer and application tunneling environments. It has been designed to minimize internal data handling such as data copy operations, minimizing the throughput time in large file transfers. SSH G3 utilizes multithreaded programming to fully leverage multiprocessor servers for improved performance.
Ease of Use
Tectia client/server solution is easy to install, and it can be configured using a GUI or by editing an XML configuration file. The installation process of Tectia products is effortless and requires no changes to the operating system.
Authentication
The Tectia client/server solution provides mutual authentication for the server and the client user. The Tectia client components authenticate the server and the Tectia Server authenticates the user's identity. Different methods can be used to authenticate users in Tectia. These authentication methods can be used separately or combined, depending on the level of functionality and security you want.
