ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

     On October 12, 1998, Security Dynamics Technologies, Inc. (the "Company")
reported financial results for the third quarter of 1998. Revenue for the third
quarter of 1998 increased 14% to $40.8 million, from $35.9 million for the third
quarter of 1997. Before certain non-operating and one-time items, earnings for
the quarter were $4.0 million ($0.10 per share on a diluted basis), compared to
$5.9 million ($0.15 per share on a diluted basis) for the same period in 1997.
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $124.4 million, a 25%
increase over the same period last year. Net income, excluding certain
non-operating and one-time items, decreased 4% to $15.8 million, or $0.38 per
diluted share, compared to $16.5 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the
first nine months of 1997. Reported net income for the first nine months of 1998
was $16.8 million, a 29% increase over the same period last year.

     The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the
Company to repurchase up to 4 million shares of its common stock over the next
12 months. The Company believes that Security Dynamics' stock is significantly
undervalued, and therefore that the repurchase of common stock represents a
highly attractive investment opportunity. The timing and amount of shares
repurchased will be determined by the Company's management based on its
evaluation of market and economic conditions. The Company reported that the
repurchased shares will be used for the Company's stock option plans, employee
stock purchase and other stock benefit plans, and for general corporate
purposes.

     The full text of the Company's press release is filed as Exhibit 99 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

                 Security Dynamics Reports Third Quarter Results
                   Company Announces Share Repurchase Program


BEDFORD, Mass., Oct. 12 -- Security Dynamics Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDTI)
today reported financial results for the third quarter of 1998. Revenue for the
third quarter of 1998 increased 14% to $40.8 million, from $35.9 million for the
third quarter of 1997. Before certain non- operating and one-time items,
earnings for the quarter were $4.0 million ($0.10 per share on a diluted basis),
compared to $5.9 million ($0.15 per share on a diluted basis) for the same
period in 1997.

Security Dynamics also announced today that its Board of Directors has
authorized the Company to repurchase up to 4 million shares of its common stock
over the next 12 months. The Company believes that Security Dynamics' stock is
significantly undervalued, and therefore that the repurchase of common stock
represents a highly attractive investment opportunity. The timing and amount of
shares repurchased will be determined by the Company's management based on its
evaluation of market and economic conditions. The Company reported that the
repurchased shares will be used for the Company's stock option plans, employee
stock purchase and other stock benefit plans, and for general corporate
purposes.

Reported net income for the third quarter of 1998 was $3.2 million ($0.08 per
share on a diluted basis). The Company recorded a non-operating gain of $1.8
million ($1.2 million after taxes) resulting from the sale of a portion of the
Company's investment in VeriSign, Inc. The gain was partially offset by a loss
of $1.2 million ($0.8 million after taxes) from the Company's proportionate
share of VeriSign's loss for the second quarter of 1998. In addition, the
Company also incurred a one-time, non-cash charge of $1.9 million ($1.2 million
after taxes) relating to settlement of threatened litigation in connection with
the Company's acquisition of Intrusion Detection Inc.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $124.4 million, a 25%
increase over the same period last year. Net income, excluding certain
non-operating and one-time items, decreased 4% to $15.8 million, or $0.38 per
diluted share, compared to $16.5 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the
first nine months of 1997. Reported net income for the first nine months of 1998
was $16.8 million, a 29% increase over the same period last year.

"We are pleased with our progress and performance in the third quarter, and
expect that in the fourth quarter we will continue to make progress in
positioning the company for future growth," said Charles R. Stuckey, Jr.,
chairman, president and CEO of Security Dynamics. "In light of the recent
substantial decline in the price of the Company's common stock, the Board of
Directors believes that the repurchase of the Company's shares at this time
represents an excellent investment opportunity."
