Case Study: World's Largest Retailer achieves centralized SSH key management and regulatory compliance with SSH.COM's Universal SSH Key Manager

SSH.COM signs a significant contract for Universal SSH Key Manager® with a major global retail company

World's Largest Retailer engaged SSH.COM to tackle unmanaged SSH keys across its business‑critical IT infrastructure. Facing millions of key pairs with no centralized auditability or reliable termination controls, the retailer risked unauthorized access, regulatory gaps, and operational inefficiencies, so it selected SSH.COM’s Universal SSH Key Manager®.

SSH.COM deployed Universal SSH Key Manager® to centrally discover, deploy, rotate, remove, and monitor SSH keys, delivering full‑lifecycle, minimally invasive key management and access control across development, testing, and production environments. The contract — a USD 2.0 million software license and maintenance agreement (with roughly EUR 1.5 million recognized in Q4 2018) — produced improved auditability and compliance, a reduced threat surface, and increased operational efficiency, underscoring SSH.COM’s ability to secure large‑scale key inventories and ensure business continuity.
