Case Study: Trinity College Cambridge strengthens MFA and service account protection with Silverfort

Trinity College Cambridge faced a critical challenge: securing privileged and service accounts in their on-prem Active Directory. While their cloud-based applications had strong security, legacy infrastructure remained exposed—and their service accounts lacked oversight.

“Our privileged accounts and service accounts were a primary area of concern. We lacked visibility into service account behaviours, and our on-prem applications had no MFA support, leaving potential security gaps,” said Duncan Malthouse-Hobbs, Head of IT at Trinity College.

Until they met Silverfort.

By implementing Silverfort’s adaptive MFA and identity security, Trinity College:
✅ Enforced MFA on privileged accounts without disrupting IT operations
✅ Gained real-time visibility into service account activity and risks
✅ Secured legacy applications and command-line authentication

“Rolling out Silverfort was incredibly straightforward. We quickly saw value in its ability to enforce MFA on legacy systems without additional software.” — Bryan Carpenter, IT Infrastructure Engineer

This case study is a must-read for IT and security leaders looking to strengthen identity security across hybrid environments.

We dared to push identity security further.
