If you're in Revenue Operations, Marketing Ops, or Sales Ops, your core mandate is velocity. Every week, someone needs to integrate a new tool: "Can we connect Drift to Salesforce?" "Can we push this data into HubSpot?" "Can you just give marketing API access?" You approve the OAuth tokens, you connect the "trusted" apps, and you enable the business to move fast. You assume the security team has your back.

Sovereign Data, Sovereign Access: Introducing Modern FIDO Authentication for SAS PCE

Discover how Thales empowers enterprises with sovereign access through FIDO authentication in SAS PCE—ensuring secure, phishing-resistant identity control for hybrid environments.
Identity & Access Management Access Control Guido Gerrits | Field Channel Director, EMEA
More About This Author >
Across the global market, enterprises face mounting pressure to secure access while maintaining complete control over where their identity data resides. Regulators and national lawmakers demand sovereignty, boards demand resilience, and users demand seamless access while respecting their rights to personal information.
With newly supported FIDO authentication in SafeNet Authentication Service Private Cloud Edition (SAS PCE), Thales delivers on-premise protection and modern authentication in one trusted platform. Organizations gain complete sovereign control of workforce access and ownership of their critical data and identities, backed by the widest range of phishing-resistant security keys.
Why Sovereignty MattersAround the world, three boardroom questions dominate every identity conversation:
These are valid concerns that stem from strict regulatory requirements. From GDPR in Europe to data protection acts across APAC and META, digital sovereignty has greater emphasis. Enterprises must prove that sensitive records—from health records to financial data—remain within jurisdiction and under local control.
Cloud-only IAM providers, particularly those based in the United States and tied to U.S. data laws, cannot always meet these requirements. For global organizations, that risk is unacceptable. For example, the CLOUD Act allows U.S. law enforcement agencies to demand access to data held by any U.S.-based technology companies, regardless of where that data is physically stored in the world.
The discussion on sovereignty extends even to AI and LLM models, with organizations adopting AI systems having to comply with both the EU AI Act and GDPR. The example of the Swiss open LLM model is a fine indication of where the market is heading and why businesses care about sovereign solutions.
The Reality of Hybrid EnvironmentsMost organizations, especially in the critical infrastructure sector, still rely on legacy and on-premises systems. Almost a third (33%) of enterprises opt to maintaining critical workloads on-site, either because they cannot migrate or choose not to due to compliance and operational constraints. Closely related is also the finding that 83% of enterprises are planning to repatriate workloads from public clouds to on-premises infrastructure.
This creates a hybrid reality: cloud adoption is accelerating for some, but legacy and on-premises environments remain essential. Any serious authentication strategy must protect both.
The Gaps in the Status Quo
Passwords and traditional MFA methods are becoming more vulnerable. Phishing campaigns bypass them with ease using password spraying, man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks, and MFA prompt bombing to name a few techniques. Fragmented tools stitched across legacy, cloud, and mobile systems are confusing for users and add additional overhead (and cost) for IT teams.
And when mainstream cloud identity providers (IdPs) suffer outages, the results are severe: manufacturing halts, flights grounded, and medical treatments delayed. In regions where regulators demand resilience, dependence on a single cloud access service is a business risk no one can ignore.
Why On-Premises FIDO Authentication MattersThales’ innovation of bringing FIDO authentication to SAS PCE is designed to meet this reality.
SAS PCE unifies authentication for both cloud and on-premises environments, helping enterprises modernize without any en-masse migrations, thus meeting you where you are in your digital transformation journey.
The result: sovereign control, stronger security, and less friction.
See FIDO Authentication in Action: Sovereign Access for a Hybrid WorldThe challenge facing global enterprises isn’t just how to authenticate — it’s where that authentication happens, who controls the data, and what happens when the cloud isn’t available.
Modern identity strategies must now balance:
Thales answers all three with a single solution: FIDO authentication inside SAS PCE. It’s not just another MFA method — it’s a framework for digital autonomy in a hybrid world. While cloud-only providers offer convenience, only Thales delivers local enforcement, continuous availability, and true sovereignty — all without compromise.
Control your access. Own your data. Defend your independence. Powered by FIDO.
What Leadership Should Take AwayFor CEOs, CISOs, and IAM leaders, the impact is measured in:
Adopting SAS PCE with FIDO authentication is not only a security decision. It’s a strategic business investment in trust, continuity, and resilience.
Legacy systems stay covered. Hybrid environments stay secure. Employees experience frictionless access. Regulators see compliance proof.
On-Premise Protection. Modern Authentication.For global enterprises, the choice is clear: sovereignty cannot be compromised, downtime is unacceptable, and passwords are no longer enough. Thales is the only provider offering phishing-resistant FIDO authentication, sovereign control, and business continuity in a single, unified platform—without third-party supplier dependencies and cost-drivers.
By adopting SAS PCE with FIDO authentication, leaders strengthen compliance, simplify IT operations, and give employees frictionless, secure access to every system, from legacy applications to hybrid workloads.

Two years ago, Americans anxious about the forthcoming 2024 presidential election were considering the malevolent force of an election influencer: artificial intelligence. Over the past several years, we have seen plenty of warning signs from elections worldwide demonstrating how AI can be used to propagate misinformation and alter the political landscape, whether by trolls on social media, foreign influencers, or even a street magician. AI is poised to play a more volatile role than ever before in America’s next federal election in 2026. We can already see how different groups of political actors are approaching AI. Professional campaigners are using AI to accelerate the traditional tactics of electioneering; organizers are using it to reinvent how movements are built; and citizens are using it both to express themselves and amplify their side’s messaging. Because there are so few rules, and so little prospect of regulatory action, around AI’s role in politics, there is no oversight of these activities, and no safeguards against the dramatic potential impacts for our democracy...
