Silverfort Identity Security Platform

Compares granted permissions against observed usage to identify entitlements that exceed what an identity actually needs, candidates for right-sizing or revocation.

Scores each identity by aggregated risk signals (excessive permissions, stale credentials, anomalous access patterns, MFA gaps) to prioritize remediation effort.

Surfaces indicators of identity compromise from posture and activity telemetry (anomalous login sequences, MFA fatigue patterns, impossible travel, sudden privilege changes) and routes them for response, so posture findings and active-attack signals sit in one risk view. This is the posture-layer signal: real-time detection, response playbooks, and recovery are the Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) niche vocabulary, and EDR identity detection covers endpoint-side behavior.

Analyzes identity telemetry (authentication events, access patterns, privilege use) in real time with behavioral baselines and risk scoring; leading implementations detect identity attacks in sub-second time.

Executes response actions against active identity attacks through playbooks with configurable automation: session revocation, credential reset, account isolation, inline step-up authentication or access denial at the identity provider, and follow-up policy and configuration hardening so the same attack cannot recur.

Detects attacks on the IAM infrastructure itself: misuse of directory and identity provider administrator credentials, changes to token-signing certificates and federation trust, tampering with conditional access, MFA, and admin role configuration, and other signs that an identity tool has been compromised, continuously monitoring root and global administrator accounts and their configuration changes.

Evaluates contextual risk signals (device fingerprint, geolocation, IP reputation, behavioral anomaly) at each authentication and step-up challenge request, applying stronger authentication when risk is elevated.

Provides phishing-resistant MFA such as FIDO2 and X.509, with protections against compromised passwords and common MFA attacks.

Defines and enforces authorization policies that decide which users and machines can access which applications and APIs, evaluated at runtime alongside authentication.

Time-bound, on-demand granting of privileged access that removes standing privilege.

Creates net-new permissions per need and removes them after a time-bound session, eliminating standing privileged accounts.
