SSH for Windows

Hi, I have come across an application that uses SSH for secure communications but on Windows. Why SSH on windows, although its an UNIX command? What are the equivalents on Windows if any? Why this has been chosen? I am trying to understand a complex system in the absecnce of the original creator. Thanks  in advance.

Actually, this is done from a NT server (yes, really old application). I can see Cygwin is being used., though I see PuTTY is popular on the net. So I understand SSH is a secured version of Telnet. But why this? What are the alternatives for secure communication on Windows?
