Password authentication is outdated and vulnerable. In today's threat landscape, continuing to rely solely on password authentication for SFTP transfers is an unnecessary risk that exposes everyone to preventable attacks and operational inefficiencies.
SSH keys enable secure automation without storing passwords in plain text, provide granular access control with detailed audit trails, and eliminate the costly overhead of password resets and rotations. When security incidents occur, individual keys can be instantly revoked without affecting other users or systems.
Implementation is straightforward and low-risk. We can enable SSH key authentication alongside passwords.
Prevented security breaches, easier compliance audits, and improved developer productivity all contribute to a rapid return on investment.
SSH key authentication isn't just a security upgrade—it's a business imperative that protects our assets while making everyone's job easier.
