Silverfort Unifies Identity Protection Across On-Premises and Cloud Environments
Silverfort has expanded its non-human identity (NHI) security capabilities to include cloud-based identities, creating a unified identity security platform that spans both on-premises infrastructure and modern cloud environments. This enhancement builds upon Silverfort’s acquisition of Rezonate in late 2024, continuing their efforts to address security gaps across hybrid IT environments by consolidating visibility and control over both human and non-human identities.
Non-human identities, including service accounts, tokens, API keys, and IAM roles, are fundamental to system and application operations. However, they are often deployed without proper lifecycle management or oversight. Many organizations inadvertently increase their risk by syncing these accounts to SaaS directories, leaving dormant or misconfigured identities exposed. Silverfort addresses this issue by integrating NHI discovery, ownership mapping, and activity monitoring into its core Identity Security Platform. This provides policy automation and actionable risk insights to close these security gaps.
The platform utilizes behavioral analytics and context-driven analysis to enforce least-privilege access, block unauthorized lateral movement, and automate real-time protection across hybrid infrastructure. With its Runtime Access Protection (RAP) technology, Silverfort supports enforcement without disrupting existing identity systems like Active Directory, Entra ID, and cloud-native platforms such as AWS and Azure. This enables security teams to apply unified policies and remediation workflows across previously disconnected systems and identity types.
As non-human identities now outnumber human identities significantly, especially with the growth of AI agents and automation, Silverfort’s expanded offering comes at a critical time. By bringing human and non-human identity management under a single operational model, Silverfort aims to simplify security operations while improving coverage across complex, modern environments.
The expansion addresses a growing concern in identity security, as organizations struggle to manage the increasing number of non-human identities. Silverfort’s unified approach provides a comprehensive solution, enhancing security posture across hybrid environments.
