Situation Description

SSH security sessions using an outdated security protocol.

 

Suggested Actions

There are several serious vulnerabilities in SSH version 1. Best practice is to support the latest version of the protocol to exploit the enhanced cryptography and features available in the latest versions of the protocol. It is equally important to disable older versions of protocols to protect against downgrade attacks where hackers force the use of an older version of the protocol so that they can exploit it's vulnerabilities.
