Silverfort Unified Identity Protection Platform for Microsoft Azure Active Directory. The platform now enables organizations to centralize identity and access management (IAM) for cloud and legacy on-premises resources on Azure Active Directory, including those that could not previously be migrated.

Silverfort, a Unified Identity Protection company and member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), now enables companies to consolidate identity and access management for all devices, applications and environments on Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).

Unified Identity Protection Platform for Azure

With the Silverfort Unified Identity Protection Platform, companies can now migrate all of their hybrid assets, including non-web systems, to Azure AD. There they can be managed centrally as if they were modern web applications. This enables organizations to unify security policies, visibility and user experience across all systems and environments, including legacy on-premise resources that do not natively support integration with Azure AD or existing application proxies.

Agent- and proxy-less technology

Silverfort uses a unique agent- and proxy-free technology to seamlessly connect to IAM solutions in hybrid environments, and automatically detects and analyzes applications and resources, including those that are still dependent on passwords and legacy protocols. The platform accelerates and optimizes the migration of all applications to cloud-native identity platforms such as Azure AD and at the same time serves as a "bridge" for resources that could not be migrated before, such as:

  • Legacy and self-developed applications
  • IT infrastructure
  • Active Directory managed servers and endpoints
  • Assets that are in other cloud environments, including multi-cloud
  • File shares and databases
  • Command line tools and other admin interfaces
  • System-to-system access (service accounts)
  • Industrial and medical systems

"Identity is becoming the primary security control level for companies, but it is currently built in silos, which means there is no uniform control and many sensitive assets remain unprotected," says Hed Kovetz, CEO and co-founder of Silverfort. “Azure AD offers advanced IAM transparency and security, and Silverfort now covers far more than any other IAM solution and enables uniform protection of identities. We are excited to be working with Microsoft on this solution that we believe will benefit every company. "
