Description :
OpenSSH is a program for logging into a remote machine and for
executing commands on a remote machine. It can replace rlogin and rsh,
providing encrypted communication between two machines.

As documented in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README start by reading then
running /usr/bin/ssh-host-config to set up your keys and the server.
If required, you can later tweak your server setup by changing /etc/sshd_config
and/or Windows `sc config sshd ...= ...` options.
Always ensure that Windows sshd and other related services are not running and
are disabled or deleted before attempting to set up Cygwin sshd, as Windows
likes to litter your system with unnecessary services which make your system
vulnerable as they are rarely updated:
$ sc qc sshd

START_TYPE : 4 DISABLED
ERROR_CONTROL : 1 NORMAL

safety's sake just in case.]
