SafeNet Authentication Service - Service Provider Edition (SPE)

Strong authentication is becoming crucial for all organizations, creating a huge market opportunity which Service Providers are uniquely positioned to fulfill. But historically Service Providers have faced huge challenges to roll out authentication as a commodity service to their customers.

It has been viewed as expensive and complex to manage and administer for the mass market. As a result service providers typically have a limited number of enterprise customers and non-scalable service delivery processes.

Traditional authentication solutions have been designed for single enterprise use only which means Service Providers are forced to build "one off" solutions for each customer and invest in new infrastructures each time a client is "brought on-board". Physical token management and token expiry is a huge problem, increasing administration overheads and total cost to run. Manual provisioning and administration processes have driven the cost of service delivery so high that mass market offerings are simply not economical.

SafeNet Authentication Services revolutionary dedicated Service Provider Edition changes this—for the first time service providers are able to provide authentication as a commodity to all customers—regardless of size and shape—and benefit from increased service differentiation, increased sales and greater customer "stickiness".

Our platform requires no up-front investment by you, provides unique service provider functionality that allows you to manage all your clients from a single platform, drives your service delivery cost to near zero, and is scalable to tens of millions of users. And of course you can brand it as your own service and fully customize almost every aspect of the service.

SafeNet Authentication Service enables you to offer a cloud based authentication solution to your clients that protects their cloud, apps and networks, whilst offering their users a choice of any token or tokenless authentication method that they require.
