About Us

Taking identity security where it has never gone before.

Silverfort secures every dimension of identity. We break down the silos of identity infrastructure and point solutions to eliminate security gaps and blind spots once and for all. The result? Identity security without limits—that doesn't slow down the business.

“Identity has become the weakest link in enterprise security, and solving it requires a new approach – a unified, end-to-end layer of security that covers all the silos and blind spots of the identity infrastructure. Thanks to the trust of organizations around the world, we found a way to solve it.”

Our story

What if you could make identity security work for you? We found a way.

When it comes to cybersecurity, identity isn’t just a feature—it’s the most critical element to your success. For too long, enterprises have settled for isolated identity and access management (IAM) solutions and security patchworks that leave them exposed.

Founded in 2016, Silverfort set out to take identity security where it has never gone before. With identity security as our sole focus and mission, we found a way to protect every identity, whether it’s in the cloud or on-prem, human or machine.

Fueled by a belief that identity professionals deserve better, Silverfort breaks down the silos of identity security, eliminating the gaps and blind spots that make them vulnerable. Going far beyond any other solution, the Silverfort Identity Security Platform protects all identities, all resources and all environments, all the time. Silverfort is the only platform that truly goes everywhere to deliver unparalleled protection, context and visibility—all in a single platform. 

This is identity security done right.
