Overview
Silverfort sells what it calls runtime identity security: it enforces controls inline at the point of authentication, before access is granted, across Active Directory, cloud, SaaS, legacy systems and operational technology, without changes to the protected systems[15]. Its best-known use is extending MFA to resources that cannot support it natively, such as legacy applications, command-line tools and industrial systems, without agents or code changes[15].
The platform also discovers and protects non-human identities and service accounts, provides an authentication firewall, vaultless privileged access security, identity security posture management, identity threat detection and response, and controls for AI agent identities[15]. The company states it is trusted by more than 1,000 organisations and processes 10 billion authentications a day[15].
Silverfort complements rather than replaces an MFA provider: it often uses an existing authenticator to challenge users while it intercepts authentication traffic at the directory. Prices are not published[15].
