Overview

Product Information on Silverfort Identity Security Platform

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Silverfort Identity Security Platform?

Silverfort Identity Security Platform is a software designed to provide unified identity protection across enterprise IT environments, including on-premises and cloud resources. The software integrates with existing authentication systems to enable risk-based access policies, multifactor authentication, and continuous monitoring without requiring modifications to endpoints or applications. It helps organizations detect and prevent identity-based threats such as credential theft and lateral movement by extending protection to resources that previously could not be covered by standard identity security solutions, including legacy applications, command-line interfaces, and service accounts. The software addresses the business problem of unauthorized access and identity-related attacks by centralizing visibility and security controls over user authentication and access activities.

Silverfort Identity Security Platform Pricing

The Silverfort Identity Security Platform uses a subscription-based pricing model, typically structured per user or per authentication. The software may offer multiple tiers or packages based on features and scale, with pricing varying according to organization size and specific security capabilities required. Custom quotes are often provided to align with enterprise requirements and deployment preferences.

About Company

Company Description

Updated 22nd July 2025

Silverfort operates as an identity security platform that integrates natively with on-prem and cloud-based IAM directories, infrastructures, and SaaS apps—including Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta, Ping, AWS, and others. It inspects all authentication and access attempts across human users and machine accounts in hybrid environments, enforcing real-time access policies such as MFA, deny, or Just-in-Time access. It extends security controls to systems not traditionally protected, including legacy apps, IT infrastructure, file shares, and command-line interfaces. Silverfort also performs discovery and classification of privileged users, mapping access behavior to enforce least privilege. Its architecture operates at the authentication layer, enabling centralized policy orchestration across environments. This allows organizations to prevent credential compromise, lateral movement, and privilege escalation while maintaining full visibility and control over identity activity.

Silverfort Identity Security Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

Implementing policies is very straight forward. Identifying authentications from the logs is incredibly easy allowing identification of what authentications are occurring so relevant policies can be implemented Controlling access with relevant controls has been incredibly easy with a very clear and concise admin user controls

Like

Insights is an incredible page - it tells you everyday which user or admin is causing issues and which specific ID they are using is causing an issue. Policies are easy enough to make, but I wish the notifications were better.

Like

1. The extra security it gives you to insert 2FA onto your sensitive resources and your privileges (or non-priveleged) account. 2. The ability to protect Service accounts to only be able to do exactly what you need. 3. Being able to see the logs of what's going on with your AD. We look at logs almost every day and wonder how we ever troubleshooted authentications before.

Dislike

Genuinely very little has been found that is a frustration.

Dislike

Some parts are confusing, but after working with the product and the excellent support department - it is easy to understand.

Dislike

The company is growing fast and there are growing pains. We lost the account rep that we loved. We don't love the new UI. It feel like it was a step backwards. They seem very focused on expanding to Cloud resources and that doesn't really apply to us.

    I really love it when Sysadmin accounts are locked out and they didn't end the sessions after their password expired, I can go into the logs and send them all the servers and workstations they are still logged into.

    Feature That Allows Inserting 2FA Into Any Active Directory Request Explained

    5.0
    Jan 5, 2026
    Great product, great support. It's the only product I'm aware of that can insert 2fA into any request in Active Directory based on the criteria that you choose. A dedicated account rep is assigned to you to be your one point of contact whenever you need help.
