Crane Authentication: Protecting, enhancing and securing what matters most

The new brand – Crane Authentication – brings together two complementary businesses in terms of customers, solutions and technologies: De La Rue Authentication and OpSec Security. 

Benefits for Crane Authentication customers

“By bringing together OpSec Security and De La Rue Authentication into a single unified business, Crane Authentication will be able to support government and business customers with the broadest range of technologies, solutions and services for authentication, online protection, tax revenue and identity requirements,” said Sam Keayes, SVP of Security and Authentication Technologies of Crane NXT. 

Crane Authentication delivers tech-based solutions that enable customers to safeguard critical assets across physical and digital spaces. 

• For business customers, Crane Authentication provides solutions that protect and enhance the value of their brands with online and physical solutions, enabling them to meet consumer demands for genuine products and services. 
• For government customers, Crane Authentication serves as a reliable partner in protecting the public’s security, safeguarding each citizen’s identity and generating tax revenue required to deliver the services and infrastructure that the public expects. 

Addressing key trends and customer needs

“As a partner to both businesses and governments, we are committed to driving transformative innovation for our customers,” said Richard Cremona, President of Crane Authentication. “Our customers trust us to help them address their many opportunities and challenges. These range from the rapid digitization of commerce and the spread of AI-enabled decision-making to the growth compliance needs and the need for governments to collect tax revenue.”  

Crane Authentication’s differentiated solutions enable its customers to navigate this evolving landscape.

• Security and identity for physical products: Using the latest optical, print and digital technologies, our authentication solutions are easy to use but hard to replicate. They reassure end-users that their product or interaction is genuine. As traceability grows in importance, product integrity and identity are converging – with security and functional components spanning the physical and digital worlds.
• Data-driven brand protection and intelligence: Crane Authentication’s advanced brand protection and intelligence services harness big data and AI to provide real-time, actionable insights. That enables businesses and governments to detect threats, mitigate risks and seize emerging opportunities. 
• Identity and revenue protection: With rising concerns over identity theft and revenue protection, Crane Authentication’s government solutions provide advanced document security, fraud prevention and authentication technologies that protect citizens and generate the tax revenues that secure essential public resources. 

“For our customers, the value generated by Crane Authentication comes from our 1,250 highly skilled associates, whose expertise is based on real-world experience. They embody what Crane Authentication stands for in every interaction with our customers,” said Cremona.
