Using FIDO Authentication in SafeNet Authentication Service

Hi there! Welcome to SafeNet Trusted Access: Thales' authentication and access management solution. Rather than telling you how it works, let's just dive right into the platform so you can see for yourself.

First, let's start with the Dashboard. This is probably where you'll spend most of your time: observing the access attempts that happen across your organization.

Here, you can see the access activity by policy.

And over here, you can see the activity by app. These two charts are helpful to see if there are too many failed attempts happening for a specific policy or application, indicating that you might need to make some adjustments.

But before we can see this kind of data for your environment, we'll need to connect some apps.

This is the Applications tab. As you can see, we've already connected a fair number of apps.

To add a new one, you'll click the plus icon and follow the instructions.

We have a ton of pre-build app templates you can choose from. But in the rare event you can't find one, or you want to connect an app you built yourself, you can use our generic template.

Once you've connected your apps, you'll want to configure some policies. This is the Policies tab where you can see what you've got already, and also create new ones.

Creating a new policy is easy. They're built kind of like a firewall in the sense that your global policy will always apply, and the exception policies will apply when the event matches it. This allows you to get really detailed. You'll give your policy a name, select which users you want it to apply to, which apps, whether the access attempt should be granted or denied, and what types of authentication methods you want them to use, and how often.

Another cool thing is SafeNet Trusted Access is completely customizable. You can change the appearance of the login screen in your branding settings.

By doing this, when your users are prompted for information, they know it's coming from a trusted source.

What people love about SafeNet Trusted Access, is the self-provisioning aspect. This way, users can set up their own authentication and you don't have to go through the manual process of doing it for them.

But don't worry, you still have complete control. You can select the who, how, and what before you enable self-provisioning.

Already have an IdP in place? Of course you do. You can connect an existing one here so everything is all in one place.

And you won't have to hop between tools to find out which apps are federated behind what.
