You can’t protect what you can’t see, and when account management is distributed across global business units with no central oversight, the identities you don’t know about become the risk you can’t quantify.
That was the reality for Encora, a global digital engineering company operating across multiple geographies with 10,000+ users. Service accounts were created without process or ownership. Privileged accounts had no MFA protection. Authentication paths went unmonitored. The attack surface was real, and it was growing.
Other IAM solutions fell short the moment they hit the on-prem boundary. Silverfort didn’t. From the moment the platform went live, Encora’s security team had immediate visibility across its entire AD environment, surfacing over 100 previously unmanaged service accounts, enforcing MFA across 250 unprotected privileged accounts, and replacing uncontrolled authentication paths with granular, audit-ready access policies.
The result: identity risk reduced from high to low, with controls now aligned to ISO 27001, SOC II, and cyber insurance requirements.

- How Encora discovered and classified 100+ unknown service accounts across a decentralized global environment and what they found when they finally looked
- Why MFA alone isn’t enough to reduce risk from high to low, and how combining it with an Authentication Firewall closes the gaps traditional controls leave open
- How Encora built a repeatable, scalable identity security programme across a hybrid AD environment without touching infrastructure or modifying applications
