Thales SafeNet Trusted Access

Overview

SafeNet Trusted Access (STA) is a cloud-based access management and authentication service from Thales, the French defence and technology group, delivered as SaaS with no infrastructure to install^[16]. It combines MFA and single sign-on for cloud and enterprise applications^[16].

STA supports high-assurance FIDO devices, push and pattern-based authentication, contextual and adaptive authentication, passwordless options and authentication schemes an organisation has already deployed^[16]. Its policy engine applies rules at the level of individual users, groups or applications, and Smart SSO decides whether to re-prompt based on previous sessions^[16]. Users can be grouped by region to apply country-specific compliance controls^[16].

Thales says a wide range of authenticator types is included at no additional cost and offers a 30-day free trial with mobile tokens and template integrations^[16]. The service does not publish prices or editions on its product page^[16]. Its appeal is strongest for organisations that already use Thales hardware tokens, smart cards or public-key infrastructure.
