Silverfort Expands Identity Security Platform with Innovative Features
Silverfort, a leader in identity security, recently announced the release of two crucial features:
Access Intelligence and
Identity Graph Inventory. This expansion further solidifies Silverfort's position in the competitive landscape of identity security, particularly in the emerging category of Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platform (IVIP).
Key Features of the New Release
With these updates, Silverfort takes a significant step towards achieving its vision of end-to-end identity security under a unified platform. The new functionalities allow businesses to identify every type of identity—whether human, machine, or AI-driven—and enforce real-time security controls across all systems. This includes environments that previously lacked protection, such as legacy applications and command-line interfaces.
Access Intelligence: Viewing Real-Time Access
Access Intelligence offers a resource-oriented perspective that helps Identity and Access Management (IAM) teams understand real-time access patterns. Beyond simply showing permissions, this innovative feature maps out actual access activities across both on-premises and cloud environments:
- - Comprehensive Access Transparency: Provides clear visibility into which users access which resources at any given time, detailing access paths and usage patterns.
- - Actionable Insights: Identifies gaps between granted and utilized permissions, reducing unused access rights and enhancing compliance efforts.
- - Cost Efficiency: By pinpointing unutilized licenses and applications, organizations can streamline operations, thereby cutting costs while mitigating security risks.
Identity Graph Inventory: Unifying Identity Data
Identity Graph Inventory elevates transparency within identity and access management by offering a holistic view of every identity, permission, and relationship within a company's hybrid identity landscape. Unlike traditional static reports, this solution dynamically presents a real-time overview:
- - Cross-Platform Identity Histories: Gets to the heart of user relationships and resource access, visually mapping identities across diverse applications and systems.
- - Efficient Audit Processes: Serves as a central information repository, simplifying regulatory compliance and audit requirements for IAM and security teams.
- - Faster Investigations: Consolidates critical user information, eliminating the tedious need to comb through multiple IAM systems or log files.
Addressing Complex Identity Challenges
Current IAM systems often face fragmentation and inconsistencies that hinder effective oversight. Silverfort addresses this challenge, facilitating organizations in controlling identity proliferation across various platforms, from legacy systems to contemporary SaaS applications. As threats related to AI and privileged access continue to evolve, the need for a coherent security framework capable of recognizing and mitigating these risks has become clear.
The Stability of Silverfort's Platform
The latest enhancements to the Silverfort Identity Security Platform aim to unify identity management while maintaining flexibility and scalability. Building upon existing functionality such as ITDR, ISPM, and MFA, these new features strengthen protection for all identity types in both cloud and on-premises environments.
