Gartner honours SafeNet as a market leader for User Authentication

SafeNet has announced that Gartner has positioned SafeNet in the Leaders Quadrant of the December 2013 Magic Quadrant for User Authentication. Of the 20 vendors Gartner assessed, SafeNet was identified in the Leaders Quadrant based on the combination of completeness of vision and ability to execute, the two primary criteria for the report.

Gartner predicts that, by the year-end 2016, about 30% of enterprises will choose cloud-based services as the delivery option for new or refreshed user authentication implementations – up from about 10% today.”

 Andrew Young, Vice-President, Authentication Product Management, SafeNet, said, “SafeNet is now designated as a leader for the third consecutive year. This validates our vision and performance as leaders in the authentication market. We executed against our top three 2012 priorities – introducing new authentication methods, expanding our ecosystem, and advancing our service-based offering, and our achievement of these goals is explicitly acknowledged in this report.”

According to Gartner, SafeNet’s next-generation approach to user authentication enables the enterprise to minimize risk, comply with stringent data privacy standards, and embrace workforce mobilization in an easy to manage, cost-effective, and future-proof way.
