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.

Not many organisations have a structured and automated approach to managing their SSH user keys.  The new SSH User Key Manager, supplied by HANDD  is designed to reduce the risk associated with this scenario.

The security risks around public key authentication increase an organisation’s operational cost and risk exposure. Additionally, compliance initiative such as PCI-DSS, SOX and HIPAA all address the requirements for secure key management.  The combination of these drivers in many cases indicate several millions of pounds annually in operational cost, risk exposure and compliance fines related lack of sufficient SSH user key management.

The SSH User Key Manager addresses risks posed by the following:

• Administrators who have left but still have access to critical SSH Services
• Unused user keys still giving access to critical hosts
• Unauthorised copies of private keys
• Lack of key rotation
• Lack of clarity of who has access to what
• Lack of visibility of ‘trust relationships’ crossing organisation or functional boundaries
• Inability to audit existing trust relationships
• The number of individuals who can create permanent trust relationships
• Human errors in manual key set up and removal process

HANDD’s new SSH Key Manager from SSH Communications security enables significant risk and cost reduction and management control.

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.

If you want to know how to register for the webinar or know more about about Reflection or to find out about any managed or secure file transfer solutions then contact us on 0845 643 4063 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
