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.
