SAGEM Australasia is a wholly owned subsidiary of the SAFRAN Group, a global leader in high technology solutions with AU$ 17.7 billion sales in 2005 and 58,000 employees in over 30 countries. The SAFRAN Group is involved in four global activities:

- Defence and Security solutions

With over 25 years experience in Australia, the Security Division of SAGEM Australasia has built a solid reputation in various market segments such as police forensic activities, access control, banking, healthcare, IT security, airport security and national identification systems.

SAGEM’s extensive expertise in biometric technologies (fingerprint, iris, facial), physical and logical access control, secure payment transactions, smartcards, IT security software and global positioning systems, has allowed the company to rapidly become a leader in the field of advanced security applications.


A full range of security applications:

The company started with digital fingerprint technology, rapidly turning into the market leader with more than 50% of world-market shares (source IDC-2005). SAGEM is currently developing multi-biometrics solutions, using any combination of fingerprint, facial and iris recognition technologies. Building on its expertise, SAGEM expanded its scope of business to include information and communication security solutions: producing non-forgeable ID and health documents; fighting against crime (secure payments, transactions and games); developing infrastructures with public key identification/encryption (PKI); access control (buildings, airports, borders), law enforcement, population management and IT security (data encryption, strong authentication, SSO, PKI, workflow management and client/server applications). SAGEM Australasia now promotes a complete range of powerful solutions combining physical and logical access control, specially designed to deploy strong authentication technologies in complex IT architectures, reducing administration costs whilst increasing internal security.
