Provided are a method and a system for intercepting secure shell (SSH) sessions. The method may commence with intercepting, by a client-facing SSH gateway, a session request to establish an SSH session between a client and a server. The method may continue with establishing a first SSH session between the client and the client-facing SSH gateway and receiving encrypted data packets of the SSH session from the client via the first SSH session. The client-facing SSH gateway may decrypt the encrypted data packets, establish a communication session with a server-facing SSH gateway, and forward decrypted data packets to the server-facing SSH gateway via the communication session. The server-facing SSH gateway may receive the decrypted data packets, establish a second SSH session between the server-facing SSH gateway and the server, encrypt the decrypted data packets, and forward the encrypted data packets to the server via the second SSH session.
