Silverfort: Zero Trust Security for Hybrid IT Environments and the Cloud

For companies, continuously improving their security strategies is essential. One approach that is gaining increasing importance is the Zero Trust model. Silverfort provides a comprehensive, adaptive, and agentless MFA solution that seamlessly integrates into a Zero Trust architecture. Particularly valuable is its ability to secure legacy systems and service accounts, which are often a weak point in traditional MFA approaches.
What is Zero Trust?
Zero Trust is based on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” It assumes that neither internal nor external networks are inherently trustworthy. Every access request, regardless of location, must be authenticated and authorized before being granted. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.
As companies increasingly migrate to the cloud, IT departments face the challenge of securing both on-premises and cloud-based resources. Traditional security solutions often reach their limits, especially when it comes to enforcing consistent security policies across hybrid environments.
The Silverfor Solution
Silverfort offers a Unified Identity Protection Platform that enables organizations to enforce Zero Trust security policies across all identities and resources—both on-premises and in the cloud. The platform operates without agents and proxies, allowing seamless integration into existing infrastructures without requiring modifications to applications or networks.
Key Features of Silverfort
- Identity-Based Security Without Network Boundaries
Silverfort extends Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to all resources, including those that do not natively support MFA, such as legacy systems, local admin access, network protocols (RDP, SMB, SSH), and industrial control systems (ICS). - Agentless Architecture
Instead of installing agents on endpoints, Silverfort integrates directly with Active Directory and other IAM systems. This ensures broader coverage without the need for extensive modifications to existing systems. - Adaptive Authentication & Risk Analysis
Silverfort uses AI-driven risk analysis to evaluate login attempts in real time. Context-based MFA can be dynamically enforced when increased risk is detected (e.g., unusual access patterns or login attempts from high-risk networks). - Seamless Integration with SIEM and XDR
Silverfort integrates with existing security solutions such as SIEM and XDR platforms. This allows automated, threat-based responses, such as enforcing MFA for suspicious behavior. - Rapid Deployment
Provides Zero Trust protection across the entire environment within hours of deployment, without requiring specific system integrations or changes to network architecture.

Deployment Requirements
No special requirements such as agents are needed for the deployment of Silverfort. The main requirement is an AD environment, either on-premises or hybrid.
Conclusion
Silverfort provides a comprehensive, adaptive, and agentless MFA solution that seamlessly integrates into a Zero Trust architecture. Particularly valuable is its ability to secure legacy systems and service accounts, which are often a weak point in traditional MFA approaches.
In an era where cyber threats are constantly increasing and evolving, Silverfort offers a comprehensive solution to effectively implement Zero Trust and cloud security. By focusing on identity protection and seamlessly integrating into existing infrastructures, companies can significantly enhance their security posture and better protect themselves against modern threats.
