AI-powered attacks don't wait for your stack to catch up.
Neither does Silverfort.
Models like Anthropic's Mythos can achieve full domain compromise in hours—moving through identity, before detection fires a single signal. Silverfort enforces controls at the moment of authentication, across every identity, before access is granted. Talk to one of our Identity Security Advisors to see how to:
"Oh s#$t! We need to shut down Silverfort because we can't run the drill."

On Silverfort preventing a Mythos-based red team exercise
Most Identity Security solutions protect where identity is stored, but attackers exploit where identity is used. If enforcement doesn’t happen at runtime, risk turns to reality in seconds. That’s the gap Silverfort closes.
See every human, service account, machine identity, and AI agent across your environment in one place.
Apply real-time, risk-based policies at every authentication event.
No architecture overhaul. No proxies. No operational downtime.
Secure every identity at runtime with one enforcement layer for everything, from AD to AI. Get real-time control with zero disruption.
Fast deployment. Immediate coverage. Complete protection.

Mythos is a frontier AI model built for autonomous cybersecurity research. In practice, it can execute complete enterprise attack chains at machine speed: reconnaissance, lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration, without the delays or mistakes that slow human attackers. This is a qualitative shift in the threat landscape, not just a faster version of existing attacks.
Detection tools were designed for a world where attackers move at human speed, where there’s time to generate an alert, triage it, and respond. AI-powered attacks compress that window to minutes. By the time detection fires, the attack may already be complete. Detection still matters. But it can’t be your primary control layer anymore. Runtime Identity Security fills that gap. By enforcing controls inline, at the moment of every authentication request, Silverfort acts before access is granted, not after the damage is done. That’s the only place attacks at this speed can still be stopped.
Runtime Identity Security means enforcing access controls inline, at the moment every authentication request happens, before access is granted. Rather than relying on static policies set in advance or reactive detection after the fact, runtime enforcement evaluates every access request dynamically, based on real-time risk signals, behavioral context, and policy, and acts immediately: allowing, blocking, stepping up, or restricting access.
Yes. In a controlled test at a large enterprise, Mythos achieved full domain compromise in roughly two hours. After Silverfort applied runtime Identity Security controls, the same attack paths were blocked inline. The security operations leader noted: “Silverfort is phenomenal. It blocked Mythos’ attempts to spread in the network. At some point we had to disable Silverfort’s defenses to allow further testing.” The full anonymous case study is available here.
Most organizations can be up and running within days. Silverfort integrates with your existing identity infrastructure—Active Directory, cloud IdPs, traditional PAM solutions. All without modifying servers, applications, or user workflows. There are no proxies to deploy, no architecture changes, and no user disruption.
