Silverfort

Silverfort is an identity security company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel. It was built to close the protection gap left by traditional identity and access tools, which cannot enforce controls across legacy systems, service accounts, and infrastructure that does not support modern authentication agents.

The platform sits between identity providers and target resources, applying real-time risk analysis, multi-factor authentication, and access policies to Active Directory, cloud services, on-premises servers, and non-human identities without installing agents on protected systems. Enterprises in manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and telecommunications use it to detect identity-based attacks and enforce zero-trust access.

1. Universal MFA: Extends multi-factor authentication to systems that cannot natively support it, including legacy servers and command-line tools.

2. Authentication Firewall: Blocks malicious authentication attempts inline before they reach protected resources.

3. Identity Threat Detection & Response: Continuously analyzes authentication traffic to flag compromised credentials and lateral movement.

4. Non-Human Identity Security: Discovers and secures service accounts and machine identities often left unmonitored.

5. Vaultless Privileged Access: Applies just-in-time controls to privileged accounts without password vaulting.

6. Identity Security Posture Management: Maps identity risk across on-premises and cloud environments from one console.
