Silverfort

Silverfort is an enterprise security platform designed to solve a specific, widespread problem: how to protect every identity in a complex, hybrid IT environment. It works by discovering and securing all access points, from cloud applications and services to on-premises legacy systems that traditional identity tools can't touch. The platform creates a unified map of your identity landscape, covering human users, service accounts, and machine identities, and then enforces consistent security policies across all of them.

What makes Silverfort stand out is its approach to enforcement. It uses a technology called Runtime Access Protection (RAP) to integrate directly with existing authentication infrastructure. This allows it to apply controls like multi-factor authentication (MFA) to systems that were never built to support it, such as old file servers, databases, or custom applications, without requiring any changes to those systems. It analyzes risk in real-time during the login process and can block suspicious activity before authentication is complete, stopping attacks that use stolen credentials.

This tool is built for large organizations, especially those struggling with the security gaps created by a mix of modern and legacy technology. IT security teams use it to eliminate blind spots, secure privileged access paths, and contain active breaches by limiting an attacker's ability to move laterally. For companies adopting AI, it also provides a way to secure AI agent access within the same identity framework.
