Conclusion

Compared to other link, network, and application security measures like IPsec, WEP, and PGP, installing and configuring Secure Shell is relatively quick and easy. By deploying VShell® and SecureCRT®, companies create a comprehensive general-purpose tunneling platform that can be used to implement a wide variety of security policies, ensuring the privacy, authenticity, and integrity of many different applications. This paper illustrates several common business applications, but the possibilities are endless. Anyone using a client to reach a single TCP port on a single remote server should seriously consider tunneling this application over Secure Shell.
