Our take
Cyber attacks are shifting their focus to identity, exploiting the complex web of interactions between humans, machines, clouds, and applications. Traditional security tools struggle to keep pace, leaving gaps in authentication and vulnerable entry points for hackers.
Silverfort takes a holistic approach to identity security. Instead of replacing existing platforms, it sits above them, providing a "second opinion" on every authentication. The company's agentless technology monitors all interactions across the organisation, including legacy apps and endpoints, detecting and preventing threats in real-time. This all-encompassing view allows Silverfort to identify suspicious activity and intervene before breaches occur.
With impressive revenue growth and customer acquisitions, Silverfort has recently closed a successful funding round, valuing the company at around $1B. As cloud and hybrid environments become the norm, Silverfort's approach positions the company as a frontrunner in securing the complex identities shaping the future of work.
