MATAV, the leading Hungarian telecommunications service provider, faced a challenge when adding SSL encryption to their Telnet traffic. In their old environment, network sniffing was used to log operator activity for tracking down fraudulent activity. While a new security policy enforced protection of network traffic with SSL, logging of operator activity was still mandatory.

comForte and Greenhouse teamed up to provide the solution: comForte's MR-Win6530, SecurCS and SecurFTP are used to encrypt Telnet and FTP traffic. Greenhouse implemented a customized version of their product TCPTrace to log selected Pathway traffic into files on the NonStop system. Over 2 GBytes per day can be logged without any impact on CPU usage. With this custom-tailored solution, MATAV was able to fulfil their requirements within a short timeframe.

"I was impressed with the dedication of comForte and Greenhouse" said MATAV's project manager, Ersek Csaba. "Their ability to adapt their products to our specific requirements was a key factor to the success of this project".
