Authentication
Keyboard-interactive
Password-based (also supports Windows/AD account authentication!)
Public-Key (supports multiple keys per user!)
Additional security settings
Ability to set the maximum number of concurrent connections (Pro edition only)

Per-user IP security

SafeUp™ server-side file-transfer protection technology

Functions and subsystems
Secure Shell/Command (SSH2)
Forwarding
SFTP (supports files larger than 4 GB!)
Compression (Zlib)
Powerful script-based event handling subsystem, with support for 4 major scripting languages (NEW!)
Administration
SilverSHielD runs as a system service and local/remote administration is performed though a modern Management Console, included in the download package, which establishes a secure channel with the SilverSHielD server and allows remote configuration of one or many servers
Alternatively you can take advantage of the Command-Line Interface (CLI) to integrate SilverSHielD management into your workflow, even using 3rd party management tools (provided such tools can call a command line application)
Unlike many other competing products, SilverSHielD isn't loaded with tons of (often useless) features; instead it's focused on simplicity and ease of use, and of course on security and reliability.
