The proliferation of web-based technologies, the introduction of personal devices, and the increase of third party access into corporate networks benefit companies of all sizes. At the same time, these developments extend the corporate network perimeter and provide new avenues into it. Strong Authentication for Enterprises (SAFE) is an initiative to provide you with third party research that explores the activities "open" enterprises do every day by allowing access to company resources. The research also investigates the misconceptions that many enterprises have about strong authentication and offers recommendations for allowing secure access to corporate assets.
