SafeNet delivers a Fully Trusted Authentication Environment, which gives the control, trust and flexibility to the customer – so they're not dependent on a third-party vendor to protect and control their data.

So how is SafeNet different?

SafeNet OTP and Certificate-Based Authentication (CBA) offers unique capabilities that differentiate SafeNet from other Authentication vendors:

1.	SafeNet has the broadest range of authentication options in the market, all managed from one platform, and is the market leader in CBA.
2.	Most of our tokens are field programmable, which means that our customers can generate the token security data and securely program it on their premise. This means the customer is in control of and holds the security data, not a third party vendor.
3.	We use industry standard-based crypto algorithms and technologies, which have gone through public scrutiny, are certified, and are field proven, which reduces a customer's threat profile.
4.	With SafeNet your customers have the option to protect their authentication security data with a Hardware Security Module (HSM), increasing security of the sensitive authentication data on their network.
5.	SafeNet token's don't expire.
6.	SafeNet's underlying philosophy when it comes to protecting data revolves around Information Lifecycle Protection - the combination of encryption, access policies, key management, content security and authentication: authentication is just a part of any security solution.

The above "best practice" technologies of authenticators and HSM's provide a "Fully Trusted Authentication Environment". With the widest range of choices for authenticators by user type and risk profile, and singular platform for improved response, administration and management this provides - the flexibility and control required to protect your customers' most sensitive information, even in the cloud.
