It has always been important for enterprises to not disregard the exposure a new technology introduces to the company, even if the new technology improves upon security. Although Secure Shell (SSH) is the status quo, it’s important for companies to not become complacent and to continue to investigate improvements in mitigating potential risks. While Secure Shell is an improvement over previous protocols regarding encryption and integrity, it also introduces exposures and makes administrative transparency more difficult.

While accountability, non-repudiation, and data integrity are important elements that comprise a sound enterprise security model, these elements still constitute a highly-flawed arrangement when dealing with remote administration. It can be difficult to strike a balance between accountability and routine protection for secure communications and Secure Shell comes with many risks. Through the development of a trusted third-party system, though, you can easily mitigate these risks while facilitating workable administration transparency.
