SafeNet Acquires Cryptocard: Leader in Data Protection Meets Cloud Visionary

Dear valued SafeNet customers and partners,

I am pleased to announce that SafeNet has acquired Cryptocard.  Cryptocard is an industry innovator in authentication-as-a-service, bringing organizations the cost reduction, simplicity, and flexibility that can only come from SaaS.

New business efficiencies, infrastructure scale, and cost savings are being driven by virtualization and cloud services adoption, but this changing paradigm has challenged organizations to make the move to the cloud securely and smoothly, without disruption to their business, and without compromise to the protection of their sensitive data.
SafeNet’s focus on data-centric data protection and solutions that seamlessly extend trust from the data center to the cloud helps organizations remove challenges that can often stall cloud deployments. SafeNet has been placed in the Leader’s Quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Authentication.  We have the broadest and strongest porfolio in the industry, as well as one of the largest global authentication footprints.  Cryptocard has been placed in the Visionary’s Quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Authentication, and they’re known for their vision and product innovations, and one of the most advanced authentication-as-a-service offerings for both enterprises and service providers.  SafeNet’s strength in data protection combined with Cryptocard’s innovative and flexible cloud architecture will now deliver secure, flexible and cost effective on-premise and authentication-as-a-service solutions to our customers worldwide.
Together, SafeNet and Cryptocard now offer the most complete solution available for strong authentication and access control, delivered both on premise and from the cloud, enabling organizations to:
Increase flexibility and future-proof their strategy with the broadest range of authentication methods, form factors, and delivery models.
Reduce management time with full automation and seamless integration, including flexible migration from existing authentication solutions.
Reduce cost and optimize resources with full range of software options, “zero touch” user self-service, and low “per user, per month” pricing options.
This acquisition extends SafeNet’s leadership in authentication, supports our vision for delivering data protection both to and from the cloud, and changes the way organizations can deploy and manage their authentication strategies and platforms today and into the future. The addition of Cryptocard’s authentication-as-a-service capabilities will help customers around the world accelerate deployment of authentication solutions with even greater flexibility and lower cost to the business.
