SafeNet announces integrated single sign-on and strong authentication to Cloud and SaaS

Thursday, February 24, 2011

SafeNet has unveiled SafeNet Authentication Manager 8.0, a unified enterprise platform combining strong authentication and identity federation to help organizations centrally manage user identities and access to both on-premise and cloud-based services and applications without additional user provisioning.

SAM 8.0 leverages an organization’s existing authentication infrastructure so that users can use the same logon credentials for both on-premise and cloud-based applications, guaranteeing a complete single sign-on experience.

Other benefits include:


  • Full lifecycle management of all authentication operations in a single system – reducing cost of IT maintenance and deployment.

  • Ability to add one-time password, mobile and advanced certificate-based security without the need to change infrastructure.

  • Automated processes such as over-the-air activation and installation of software tokens and software tools.

  • Capability to issue temporary software authenticators to ensure users stay productive – even when personal token is unavailable.

  • Extensive reporting capabilities streamline compliance with a host of security regulations and policies.

SAM 8.0 offers complete support for SafeNet’s portfolio of one-time password, software and certificate-based (PKI) authenticators enabling organizations to deploy one-time password for remote access today and expand to support more advanced security solutions in the future. [end] 

SafeNet announced that it has acquired Cryptocard, a privately held provider of cloud based authentication solutions. Financial terms were not disclosed.

With the acquisition of Cryptocard, SafeNet adds to its authentication portfolio. Cryptocard’s platform will provide an opportunity for mobile and telecom service providers, as well as IT system integrators and service providers, to introduce Auth-as-a-Service to their end users.
