What the Team is Saying
What We Do
Fueled by a belief that identity professionals deserve better, we found a way to break down the silos of identity security—eliminating the gaps and blind spots left behind by a patchwork of point solutions.
The Silverfort Identity Security Platform is the first to deliver end-to-end identity security, protecting every identity in the cloud, on-prem, humans, machines, and everything in between. Our patented technology—Runtime Access Protection (RAP)—natively integrates with the entire IAM infrastructure, giving businesses visibility into all identities, analyzing every access, and extending active protection to resources that could not be protected previously—including NHIs, legacy systems, command line tools, and IT/OT infrastructure. It is easy to deploy and use, and doesn’t disrupt business operations, resulting in better security outcomes with less work.
Silverfort is the identity security platform that both identity and security professionals deserve, earning the trust of more than 1,000 leading organizations, including several Fortune 50 companies.
