In an era of escalating security concerns for organizations securing your terminal emulator is of paramount importance. Many organizations are still using emulators which are both insecure and uncompliant with modern legal frameworks.
Unsupported Technology
Most thin client emulators rely on deprecated technology which is no longer updated or supported by their developers. Many emulators still use Java or Active X plugins which are no longer supported by major browsers and represent a continuing security threat.
Even when vulnerabilities are discovered, developers can be sluggish with necessary security updates.
Modern Compliance
In the modern world of global APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) hacker groups national, urban and local Governments across the world are requiring government and private organizations to adhere to stricter information security standards.
A dramatic example of the necessity of this is the repeated targeting of the freeware PuTTY terminal emulator by the North Korean Lazarus Group.
Examples of these new compliances include
- Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA): an EU regulation aimed at strengthening the cybersecurity and resilience of financial institutions and their third-party technology providers.
- 23 NYCRR Part 500 is a cybersecurity regulation issued by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), requiring financial institutions and related businesses to adopt stringent cybersecurity controls.
- U.S. Federal Mandate on Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): a directive requiring government agencies and contractors to enforce multi-factor authentication as a baseline security measure.
Organizations running uncompliant terminal emulation software may find themselves liable, and individuals responsible for ensuring systems are compliant could face personal consequences.
The Answer
The fact is that simply using older technology and hoping for the best is not enough, from a security or compliance perspective. Organizations require a dynamic, modern, future-proofed terminal emulator to deal with modern threats.
Jubilant TE is Commonly accepted as the most secure emulator in the market.
- Jubilant is DORA, 23 NYCRR Part 500, U.S. Federal Mandate on Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), FIPS, HIPAA, ISO 5055, SAML, OAuth, OpenID, TLS 1.3, SSH, HTTPS compliant and is used by the world's largest organizations to protect access to their key business systems.
- Jubilant, is currently a .Net 8 application and rises inline with Microsoft's .Net releases. This ensures that the .Net security framework, powered by the Microsoft team of over 10,000 security and threat intelligence experts, constantly evolves to defeat and remediate against new and potential threats.
- Jubilant TE is the only Terminal Emulator on the market to have active Red Team penetration testing as a part of it's automated build cycle, ensuring that Jubilant can't be traversed by any of the latest threat models.
- Jubilant TE is coded to the ISO 5055 standard, making security an integral part of every coding decision and strategy.
- Jubilant is developed and produced by Flynet Ltd. Flynet is a ISO 27001 and 9001 company insuring that security and quality standards are maintained and promoted throughout the organization
