Introducing SSH session recording and SSH aware proxies
In this article, we're introducing SSH-aware sockets with SSH session recording and session replay. It is part of the Mysocket long-term vision to introduce more application-aware proxies. Having these identity and application-aware proxies allows the Mysocket service to provide more granular authorization policies specific to applications as well as better reporting and logging.

We've talked previously about SSH zero trust and had a few demo videos showing the power of zero trust private access for SSH use-cases. So what's different with today's improvement?
With the introduction of our SSH proxy, we actually speak the SSH protocol. This means we can look deeper into the protocol and traffic, which in turn allows us to understand what's happening on a per SSH session basis. As a result, we can start building application-specific policies and logging.
An example of an SSH-specific policy could include a user's SSH session being limited to only a "shell" session and prevent users from setting up SSH tunnels or do a Secure Copy (SCP). A great example of the power of application-specific logging is SSH session recording.
