Thales SafeNet Trusted Access

Thales SafeNet Trusted Access (STA)

Secure Workforce Access with Intelligent Authentication and Access Management

Thales SafeNet Trusted Access (STA) is a cloud-based Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution designed to secure workforce access to enterprise applications, cloud services and on-premises resources. Combining Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), passwordless authentication and adaptive access policies, SafeNet Trusted Access enables organizations to enforce consistent security controls across different users, applications and environments. The solution supports a broad range of authentication methods, including OTP, FIDO2, PKI credentials, biometrics, push notifications and hardware tokens, allowing organizations to implement authentication policies based on user identity, application sensitivity and contextual risk. With centralized access management, flexible integration protocols, automated user enrollment and detailed access event monitoring, SafeNet Trusted Access helps organizations strengthen identity security, simplify access management and deliver seamless authentication experiences for modern hybrid and remote workforces.

Key Features

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Strengthen user identity verification through multiple authentication factors, helping organizations protect enterprise applications and sensitive resources against unauthorized access and compromised credentials.

Smart Single Sign-On (SSO)

Allow users to access multiple cloud and enterprise applications through a single identity. Smart SSO evaluates previous authentication sessions and applicable access policies to determine when additional authentication is required.

Passwordless Authentication

Reduce dependence on traditional passwords through modern authentication methods such as FIDO2 security keys, Windows Hello, PKI credentials and biometric authentication.

Adaptive & Contextual Authentication

Apply authentication requirements based on contextual information, user behavior, application sensitivity and risk assessments, enabling organizations to strengthen security without introducing unnecessary authentication friction.

Risk Scoring & Conditional Access

Evaluate authentication risks and enforce access policies based on user, group, application and endpoint context. Organizations can apply different authentication requirements depending on the level of risk associated with each access attempt.

Multiple Authentication Methods

Support a wide range of authentication options, including mobile push notifications, OTP applications, hardware tokens, email and SMS OTP, pattern-based authentication, biometrics, voice authentication, FIDO2 and PKI smart cards.

Flexible Access Policies

Define and enforce access policies at individual user, group or application levels through a centralized policy engine, allowing organizations to tailor authentication requirements to different workforce roles and security needs.

Broad Application Integration

Secure access to cloud applications, standard web applications, legacy applications, on-premises resources, network infrastructure and other enterprise services through multiple integration technologies.

Open Standards & Protocol Support

Integrate with existing identity and application environments through SAML, OpenID Connect (OIDC), WS-Federation, RADIUS, REST APIs, SCIM APIs, agents and application gateways.

Automated User Enrollment & Provisioning

Simplify authentication deployment through automated workflows and user-initiated self-enrollment, allowing employees to register their authentication devices while reducing administrative workload for IT teams.

Centralized Access Monitoring & SIEM Integration

Collect detailed authentication and access event logs and export relevant information to Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms, helping security teams investigate failed login attempts and monitor access activities.

Access Continuum & Service Resilience

Support business continuity through Access Continuum, a fallback mechanism designed to help maintain access availability during service disruptions or outages.

Thales SafeNet Trusted Access

SafeNet Trusted Access is part of the Thales Identity and Access Management portfolio, providing centralized workforce authentication and access management for cloud and on-premises applications.

The solution combines MFA, SSO, passwordless authentication and contextual access policies to help organizations secure different workforce identities and application environments. It supports a wide range of authentication technologies and integration protocols, allowing businesses to extend access security without completely replacing their existing identity infrastructure.

Delivered as a SaaS-based service, SafeNet Trusted Access can be deployed without requiring organizations to maintain a dedicated access management infrastructure. Its integration capabilities also allow it to complement existing Identity Providers (IdPs) and enterprise security solutions.

Why Thales SafeNet Trusted Access?

Modern organizations rely on cloud applications, enterprise systems and distributed workforces to support daily operations. However, expanding application access across remote and hybrid environments also increases the risk of compromised credentials, unauthorized access and identity-based attacks. Traditional password-based authentication and one-size-fits-all MFA policies may not provide sufficient protection while creating unnecessary friction for users.

Thales SafeNet Trusted Access addresses these challenges by combining flexible authentication methods, intelligent SSO and contextual access policies within a centralized access management platform. Its ability to support cloud and on-premises applications enables organizations to extend authentication security across their existing IT environments.

By integrating modern MFA, passwordless authentication, risk-based access controls and centralized monitoring, SafeNet Trusted Access helps organizations strengthen workforce identity security, simplify access operations and provide a more seamless authentication experience.
