Silverfort Named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Augmented Identity Security Solutions 2026 Vendor Assessment

Identity security is now where and how organizations can both control access and stop attacks. See how IDC MarketScape assessed the category, and why Silverfort was named a Leader

IDC MarketScape’s recommendation for when to consider Silverfort

In its guidance to buyers, the IDC MarketScape suggests considering Silverfort when, “Your organization wants visibility across on-premises and cloud identities, or runs Active Directory and legacy protocols that cannot take an agent or an application change, and wants real-time MFA, risk-based access, just-in-time access, and service-account protection on its existing stack, alongside vault, governance, and compliance tooling.”

Key takeaways

1. Identity security is evolving. It started at the front door. Machine identities and AI agents now authenticate alongside people, and AI attacks target identity directly.
2. Identity is now a place to control access and stop attacks. Organizations need to budget for protecting the identity layer, so it becomes a source of resilience that protects what matters.
3. Control has to happen at the moment of access. Silverfort enforces at runtime, before access is granted, for people, non-human identities and AI agents.
