In a NOC, engineers monitor hundreds of devices. They need to jump from a core switch in Chicago to a router in London. Secure CRT 8’s allows you to organize devices by location, function, or IP range. With the firewall bypass feature, you can configure a jump host (bastion host) so that connecting to the London router automatically tunnels through a secure gateway.

Beyond security, version 8 brought several quality-of-life improvements that make it superior to its predecessors and competitors.

Version 8 introduced a configurable FIPS 140-2 mode. When enabled, the software restricts cryptographic operations to FIPS-approved algorithms (e.g., disallowing DSA keys < 2048 bits, disabling less secure ciphers like arcfour). This is essential for government and regulated industries.
