HANDD Business Solutions had a joint run up to InfoSec 2012 tradeshow with a number of their vendors as they had significant representation there. As almost all of their vendors had stands at InfoSec 2012, HANDD were spread amongst them and were thus dotted around Hall 1 of London's Earls' Court.

The star of the managed file transfer domain was surely SSH who had commissioned a media campaign to herald the launch of their exciting new Universal SSH User Key Management Tool. Amongst others, the SSH Sales and Marketing Director Matthew McKenna was present and was assisted by members of the HANDD technical support team including Jonathan Bennetts. HANDD's CEO Anthony Hodges was also a constant presence fielding a barrage of enquiries about the new SSH Key Manager.

HANDD's Senior Technical Consultant Danny Maher was occupied on the Linoma stand where there was running interest in the neat suite of GoAnywhere products for secure file transfer. He was assisted by HANDD's Sales Director Chris Farrelly and also Linoma's founder Bob Luebbe.

Latest arrival in HANDD's portfolio, Attachmate were running a 'spin the wheel' for goodies which prooved a success in attracting attention as it was so noisy. The Attachmate stand was well attended by 3 staff, supported by HANDD's Leo Mullett, Sales Executive and partially by HANDD Marketing Manager Helen Adams.

Other vendors Ipswitch and GlobalSCAPE also had large exhibition stands and were extremely busy.

Back in the office, HANDD Director and CEO Ian Davin who also had enormous success with the DataClassification site at InfoSec, sometimes 5 deep at their stand, is delighted with the company's overall success at the event, estimating that it's the best we've been to, meeting and talking with some extremely influential people in significant organisations from Europe and beyond. Ian sees this as a benchmark and is already thinking about next year - a 'must do' event.

Attachmate is holding a live Webinar on Attachmate Reflection 2011 – Installation, Migration, Standardisation and Virtualisation

Date and Time: April 3 2012, 15.00h CET

Introduction from Attachmate:

Administrators today are required to do much more with much less. Since most IT departments are managing hundreds or even thousands of applications across the enterprise, applications must be designed to be easy to install, configure and manage.

In this webinar we will take a look at how you can reduce the number of applications you need to manage by standardising on just one emulation package to which you can migrate all your existing session files and macros.

We will also look at how to package Reflection 2011 using Standard MSI techniques and how Reflection 2011 works with Virtualisation Technologies.

We hope that you can join us for this very informative and interesting webinar.

The modern work environment often requires up to thousands or even tens of thousands of key holders with accesss to valuable information and data through a public and private key holder system. The complex environment makes it almost impossible to manage the 'trust relationship' between individual users, system accounts and application IDs to their destination SSH Servers.

Organisations typically have one or more Identity Management Systems for their users, however, it does not encompass access to all systems and accounts across organisations, nor does it provide visibility into SSH user keys, keys that provide access to your organisation's most sensitive information.

Traditional approaches to managing public and private user keys are time consuming and expensive and there is little or no automation or auditabilty. This makes it difficult to adopt best practice in compliance.

We at HANDD have been working with SSH/Tectia selling and supporting their managed and secure file transfer products and are delighted that they have come up with a solution for user key management.

Today's solution is SSH Communications Security's Universal User Key Management Tool which provides the only true 'enterprise-grade' SSH user key management solution.

This will virtually eliminate manual administration processes that cost time and money, will protect your organisation's reputation by allowing you to know who has access to which SSH servers across your entire network and it will also allow you to meet compliance requirements regarding key security through a single easily-auditable solution.
