Silverfort Launches First Holistic AI-Driven Adaptive Authentication Engine for Securing Corporate Identities Without Impacting Usability

The Agentless Solution Analyzes User Behavior Across All Corporate Devices, Resources and Environments to Enable Risk-Based Authentication Policies with Unparalleled Coverage and Accuracy

Silverfort, the provider of next-generation multi-factor authentication solutions, announced a first-of-its-kind AI-based risk engine that analyzes activities across all on-premises and cloud environments, to dynamically calculate the most accurate risk score per user, device and resource, and apply effective authentication policies.

“Monitoring all authentication activities in one centralized platform allows Silverfort to analyze more data than any other authentication solution — typically hundreds of authentication requests per user per day”

Most Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) solutions were designed as point solutions for specific systems or for certain types of assets (e.g., web applications). As such, the risk analysis and adaptive policies they can offer are limited to the specific systems they protect. They are incapable of protecting the wide variety of endpoints, applications, servers, legacy systems, infrastructure, data, cloud resources and IoT devices that exist in today’s organizations.

A Holistic Approach Provides Accurate Risk Analysis

Unlike these point solutions, Silverfort’s approach is fundamentally different. Silverfort looks at authentication at the network level instead of integrating MFA into each individual asset. This holistic approach enables unified authentication policies, visibility, user experience and risk analysis across all systems and environments.

Silverfort’s agentless architecture and holistic approach offer a big advantage over other solutions as they enable unparalleled visibility into all user activities, across all systems and environments, continuously analyzing risk for every authentication request with unmatched accuracy.

“Monitoring all authentication activities in one centralized platform allows Silverfort to analyze more data than any other authentication solution typically hundreds of authentication requests per user per day,” explains Hed Kovetz, CEO and Co-Founder of Silverfort. “This provides a far more accurate risk score and enables adaptive policies that are less disruptive yet more effective.”
