Company profile
researched Aug 2026Silverfort develops an identity security platform intended to cover an organization's entire identity infrastructure, spanning on-premises Active Directory, hybrid and cloud environments, and AI-related access. The platform is positioned around discovering all identities, analyzing risk context, and enforcing consistent policies at runtime across access paths, from a single console rather than through separate IAM, PAM and IGA tools.
Stated use cases include discovering and protecting service accounts and other non-human identities, discovering and protecting AI agents and their access, protecting privileged access, containing active breaches and blocking lateral movement, gaining visibility across hybrid IAM silos, extending multi-factor authentication to legacy systems, and protecting Active Directory assets. The company frames the problem in terms of fragmented identity tooling, unprotected legacy applications and scripts, overprivileged and fast-moving AI agents, and attackers using valid credentials that evade detection.
Business model
Enterprise software platform sold to organizations that deploy it alongside existing identity and access management infrastructure; the company markets demos and proofs of concept as an entry point.
Traction
The company states it is trusted by more than 1,000 organizations worldwide and cites a 4.8 rating on Gartner Peer Insights.
Latest developments
Silverfort announced the acquisition of Fabrix Security, described as pioneering an autonomous runtime access control engine for human, machine and agentic identities. The company also published a field report on Anthropic's Mythos model and its behavior in enterprise environments, and blog research on a Claude Code CLI weakness allowing macOS processes to read stored credentials.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market
Market position
Positions itself against point identity tools (IAM, PAM, IGA) and static controls, emphasizing coverage of systems that other solutions do not protect and enforcement at runtime against AI-powered attacks.
Inline, runtime enforcement within the authentication flow; coverage of assets typically outside IAM scope such as legacy applications, scripts and non-human access; deployment without modification to existing systems.
Technology
Runtime Access Protection (RAP) technology uses an inline architecture that integrates with existing IAM infrastructure and operates directly within the authentication flow, enabling discovery, policy enforcement and preemptive, real-time protection before authentication completes. The approach is designed to require no changes to existing systems or workflows and to avoid refactoring or rearchitecting legacy and homegrown applications.
Go-to-market
Direct enterprise sales supported by demo and proof-of-concept engagements, customer testimonials, and content marketing including a blog, research reports such as a field report on the Mythos AI model, and readiness guides.
Enterprises with complex hybrid environments, including legacy and homegrown applications; referenced customers include Kayak, Womble Bond Dickinson, Singtel and Agilisys, with roles such as CISO, CIO and information security managers.
