SSH Communications Security Corp. wins multi-year frame-agreement and major initial order from a world-leading US-based retail chain

Helsinki, January 2, 2006 - A world-leading US retail chain has signed a multi-year frame agreement and placed significant initial order for SSH Tectia to secure end-to-end data in its internal network. The licensed software of the initial order has already been delivered after completing the extensive test and evaluation phase in December. This new agreement also envisions a large expansion order during 2007, as well as the regular annual support fees for services for all ordered SSH Tectia software products.

“We are very pleased with this new major customer, whose order proves the value of SSH Tectia for very large enterprise-wide deployments. We help our customers respond to the new regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), or such as the PCI standards of the major credit card companies, with cost-effective upgrades of their internal data security. With this and several other recent key orders, SSH has expanded its growth base with new long-term customers, and we have concluded a very successful end of the year “, said Arto Vainio, CEO of SSH Communications Security Corp.

SSH has won several important orders in the fourth quarter. The commercial launch of SSH Tectia’s new G3 architecture and new key products such as SSH Tectia for IBM Mainframes have progressed successfully in 2006. SSH’s management estimates significant improvement of profitability in 2006 compared to 2005. SSH will publish its 2006 Financial Statements on the 13th of February, 2007.
