Inbound SSH allowed to be used with Code for i and other tools ?

Using SSH with IBM i.

How many of you work in businesses where you're allowing SSH to be used with tools like VS Code ?

I'm hearing varying opinions because of potential security issues.

Was talking to a large insurance company yesterday and they asked best way to secure SSH. Currently they don't allow it so RDI only tool option for editing.

Also if allowing SSH, what's a good way to monitor SSH connections and connection attempts ? (I know I've seen SSH be used for DOS attacks before on public IBMi systems.)

Would be interesting to see Mapepire and/or codefori server morphed into an appropriate server that wouldn't require an SSH connect.

I've done connectivity via jt400 in Java and .Net for years before we had SSH.

I would love to hear your opinions as the hesitation because of system compromise is real.
