SafeNet solution for cloud-oriented authentication management

SafeNet recently launched the SafeNet Authentication management solution SAM8.0. The industry's first unified enterprise platform combines strong identity authentication and identity-authentication syndication to help organizations centrally manage user identities and access to internal and cloud computing services and applications without additional user configuration.

This new product is a basic component of the SafeNet Trusted Cloud Architecture (trustedcloudfabric). The SafeNet trusted cloud architecture is a practical architecture, synchronized today, that uses a comprehensive set of solutions to equip enterprise mobile data, applications, and systems to cloud computing to address existing security issues and ensure compliance.

"Cloud service providers, platform service providers, and platform providers are trying to define the scope of their identity management investments, and to assess how to derive value from ' owning ' an identity," says Stevecoplan of the 451 cluster. "In particular, SafeNet has integrated identity authentication and single sign-on (SSO) functionality for the mid-tier market through an entry front-end with a predefined set of integrated modules."

With the adoption of SAM8.0, enterprises can face major challenges head-on? for example, access controls the spread of borders and identity. SAM8.0 leverages the organization's existing authentication infrastructure so that users can use the same login credentials for internal and cloud computing applications, ensuring a complete single sign-on (SSO) experience. Other important advantages include:

• Low total cost of ownership: Full lifecycle management of all certified operations within a single system? Reduce the cost of it maintenance and deployment.

• Growth flexibility: the ability to effortlessly add a one-time password (OTP), increase mobility, and advanced certificate-based security without having to change the infrastructure.

• Support cost reduction: automated processes (e.g., air activation and installation of software tokens and software tools) to ensure broad support to reduce support costs.

• Increase productivity: the ability to release a temporary software authenticator ensures that users remain productive, even when the personal token is unavailable.

• Advanced reporting capabilities: Extensive reporting capabilities can simplify the compliance of many security regulations and policies.

SAM8.0 provides comprehensive support for a broad portfolio of SafeNet one-time password (OTP), software, and certificate-based (PKI) authentication devices, enabling organizations to deploy OTP for remote access today, seamlessly expanding in the future to support more advanced security solutions. The features of the Safenetauthenticationmanager (SafeNet Authentication manager) include a centralized, delegated, and self-service interface that allows customization of service and functional levels to different levels of users and administrators. SafeNet Company's identity certification device has more than 20,000 customers, while deploying millions of certification devices. In the USBPKI identity certification market, SafeNet also has 65% of the largest market share.

"Multifactor authentication has become increasingly critical for the organization's core business, a trend that has been magnified by the adoption of cloud computing and the need to ensure that remote users access corporate systems and data (wherever they are saved)," said Russdietz, vice president and chief technology officer of SafeNet Corporation. "As an important part of our comprehensive trustedcloudfabric™ solution, Sam helps customers maximize certification security and reduce costs by providing a centralized way to manage all access policies from a single platform." ”
