About Silverfort
Silverfort provides runtime identity security. Its platform connects to existing identity and access management systems without requiring changes to applications, code, or infrastructure. It evaluates every access request from human users, service accounts, non-human identities, and AI agents. Based on context and risk, it allows, challenges, or blocks access in real time. The company says this inline enforcement stops identity-based and AI-powered attacks before they spread. Silverfort sells to enterprises and organisations across industries such as manufacturing, telecoms, retail, education, healthcare, and finance. Its products cover multi-factor authentication, privileged access, service account protection, identity threat detection and response, and AI agent security. The platform is delivered as a hardened virtual appliance on-premises or as a SaaS service. Silverfort states that it does not extract passwords, hashes, or other secrets from Active Directory, so those secrets remain secure even if the appliance is compromised.
