Introduction  

P&C Communications Limited are working with Safenet Inc to help meet your security needs.  In this issue we cover some of the key issues facing businesses that need to take advantage of the technologies available without compromising on the security of their systems and data.

Considering a cloud strategy?

More and more companies are considering the benefits of using Cloud technology to reduce costs and increase flexibility.   The cost advantages are becoming compelling and there is significant pressure on IT departments to either demonstrate savings or justify why not.

Safenet is a major provider of security for the Cloud in the USA and their solutions are being introduced to meet the demands in the UK.   Safenet’s Trusted Cloud Fabric solutions are adopted and being further enhanced and developed to meet the security demands required from a Cloud topology.

 There are many whitepapers, solution briefs and links to webinars that we can send you, as well as invitations to future events.  Please register here if you would like to receive additional information. 

2-Factor Authentication

There are major developments in Authentication including:-

  •           OTP (One time Password)
  •           PKI (Certificate based)
  •           Hard Tokens (USB or Cards)
  •           Soft tokens (software running on mobile devices  e.g. phones, tablets and no need for an additional token)   
  •          Management
  •      Integration of mobile devices (tablets, smart phones) into the network.

Using just passwords to control access to your systems and data is not normally considered sufficient these days.   As the demand for access grows, a more secure approach is required.  2-Factor authentication is the preferred solution (a combination of “something you know”  - normally a password and “something only you have” – like a security token, fingerprint).

For information about Authentication, tokens, management and mobile intergration including cloud topology authentication please contact us

There is also an excellent webinar from Safenet -   Tablets and Smartphones in the Workplace: Integrating Mobile Devices in Your Authentication Strategy click for details of how to view it.

Earlier this year security at RSA was breached and that allowed one of their major customers (Lockhead Martin) to be hacked. RSA are reportedly spending over a billion dollars replacing security tokens for some (but not all) of their customers.  However, their tokens cannot be reprogrammed by the customer and RSA remain guardians of the key material. 

Safenet's Authentication solutions are competetively priced and licensed when compared to RSA and additional cost savings can be made with the adoption of MobilePASS - an increasing trend as the mobile device becomes the Authenticator. This approach can be more flexible and cost effective than purchasing hard tokens and replacing them in the event of a loss..
