    🛡️ Silverfort

    Silverfort is a Unified Identity Protection platform that extends Zero Trust security to any resource, including those that couldn’t previously be protected with modern identity tools like MFA or conditional access.

    🔍 Overview

    • Product Type: Unified Identity Protection / Zero Trust Identity Platform
    • Focus: Extending identity security (MFA, conditional access, risk-based policies) to all assets:
      • Legacy systems
      • Command-line tools
      • IT/OT environments
      • On-prem and cloud resources

    🧠 Key Features

    🔐 Agentless MFA Everywhere

    • Adds Multi-Factor Authentication to resources that don't natively support it:
      • SSH, RDP, SMB, legacy apps
      • File shares, command-line tools

    🚪 Conditional Access Policies

    • Enforce risk-aware, identity-based policies.
    • Block or challenge access based on:
      • User identity
      • Resource type
      • Access context (IP, location, behavior)

    🔎 Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR)

    • Monitors authentication traffic to detect:
      • Lateral movement
      • Credential theft
      • Pass-the-hash and Golden Ticket attacks

    🏭 Legacy & OT Coverage

    • Protects systems without agents or modern protocols.
    • Works with mainframes, industrial control systems (ICS), and OT devices.
    • Microsoft Active Directory (deep integration)
    • Azure AD
    • Okta, Ping, CyberArk, and more

    ⚙️ Deployment

    • 💡 Agentless (no need to install software on endpoints)
    • 🌐 Cloud-native platform
    • 🧠 Uses existing authentication protocols like Kerberos and NTLM

    🚨 Use Cases

    • 🧱 Applying MFA to legacy, on-prem, and non-web systems
    • 🔐 Enforcing Zero Trust identity security across hybrid environments
    • 🔍 Detecting identity-based threats
    • 🛡️ Securing privileged account access
    • 🏭 Extending identity protection to OT/ICS systems

    🖥️ Dashboard & Management

    • Unified console to:
      • Create and enforce identity policies
      • Monitor authentication activity
      • Investigate identity threats
      • Audit and alert in real-time

    🧠 How Silverfort Implements Zero Trust

    “If you can’t see it or protect it—you can’t trust it.”

    • Every access request is verified dynamically.
    • Identity is the new perimeter, enforced consistently across environments.
    • Unifies protection across cloud, on-prem, legacy, and OT systems.

    🧪 Trial & Resources

    • Offers demo and PoC deployments.
    • Silverfort Demo
    • Partner with MSSPs and large enterprises.
