An application on Apple’s mobile operating system that enables a secure, encrypted connection to a remote server using the Secure Shell protocol. For example, network administrators might utilize such an application on an iPhone or iPad to remotely manage servers or network devices.
This capability provides secure remote access, allowing users to manage systems from anywhere with an internet connection. Its adoption has increased due to its enhanced security features compared to less secure protocols. Historically, reliance on less secure protocols presented considerable risks. The adoption of secure shell applications addresses the increasing need for secure remote management of critical infrastructure.
