We’re excited to welcome Rezonate to the Silverfort team, expanding our identity security platform deeper into cloud environments and breaking down the traditional silos of identity security, both on-prem and in the cloud, for human and non-human identities.
Building Silverfort has been an incredible journey. It started in 2016 with the belief that identity security will become the most important element of cybersecurity, and defending against the evolving threats will require an entirely new approach. This conviction led my fellow co-founders and me to explore new ideas and invent the groundbreaking technology that made our new approach possible – one that delivers identity security everywhere, seamlessly.
It’s been a journey of firsts. From finding the first customers and partners who believed in our vision and trusted us to deliver it to achieving and exceeding 100% year-on-year growth for several years now. From convincing our first employees to join this crazy adventure (most of them are still with Silverfort today) to being named the #1 best startup company to work for by Dun & Bradstreet. Each step we take together reinforces my belief in the power of teamwork and innovation and reminds me how privileged I am to share this journey with such remarkable people.
Today, I’m excited to announce another first: Silverfort is acquiring Rezonate.
Rezonate: Innovator in cloud identity security
Rezonate’s team lives and breathes identity security. They bring deep expertise in this space, with a clear focus on cloud environments. Thanks to their expertise, talent, and hard work, their product offers the most impressive set of cloud identity security capabilities we have seen from any early-stage startup.
Their offering includes Non-Human Identity (NHI) security, Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), Entitlement management and more. Their coverage includes all cloud assets, including cloud identity providers (IdPs), cloud infrastructure, and SaaS applications. Rezonate’s solid architecture also enables them to flex and scale to meet every customer’s needs, with unmatched speed and simplicity – and customers love them for it. Our teams share a vision to solve identity security once and for all – and finally give organizations an end-to-end answer to this problem from the single powerful platform they deserve.
As Roy Akerman, CEO and Co-Founder of Rezonate, puts it:
“To stay ahead of rapidly evolving identity threats, organizations need a single platform that solves this problem holistically, not in silos. They want it to come from a partner that truly understands identity security. Silverfort is on a clear path to lead this market because it breaks the old paradigms, innovates faster than anyone else, and has a team that is hyper-focused on this mission. We couldn’t be more excited to join them and build the most complete identity security platform in the industry together.”
Protecting Every Dimension of Identity with a Unified Platform
Organizations now realize that identity security isn’t just another element of cybersecurity — it creates the most essential conditions required for success. Yet identity security has been treated for decades as a feature of the identity infrastructure, and therefore remained siloed. If a compromised user account fails to authenticate in one environment, the attacker can still use it in other environments within the same organization, because each infrastructure provider only covers its own piece of the puzzle. With a glut of point solutions that focus on either cloud or on-prem, or on a very specific part of the problem, it’s clearly time for a more holistic approach.
We started Silverfort because we knew identity security needed to be done differently. To bring modern security everywhere – to every corner of the fragmented identity infrastructure – security must be delivered as a seamless layer. It cannot be implemented system by system. Making this possible required inventing an entirely new technology. We spent years under the radar innovating and building the platform that will change this market and deliver a unified end-to-end approach to identity security.
This time – and focus – have served us well: we now have the broadest and most advanced platform in the identity security market, we’re growing much faster than any other company in this category, and we are trusted by almost a thousand of the world’s leading enterprises, including many of the Fortune 50. We’re now ready to seize the opportunity and move even faster towards market leadership.
The acquisition of Rezonate is another significant step towards this vision. It expands our capabilities deeper into cloud environments, and combined with our existing offering, it will allow our customers to enjoy the first true end-to-end identity security platform in the market. We plan to finish integrating Rezonate’s technology into our unified platform in mid-2025.
Today’s news is a massive milestone in our quest to reinvent identity security and lead this fast-growing market. We could not have done it without the support of our customers, our partners, our investors, and, of course, our extraordinary team. Thank you all for joining us and helping us build this company.
Most importantly, and from everyone at Silverfort: Welcome to the team, Rezonate! We look forward to creating something amazing together.
