Knowing you have a problem isn’t the same as being able to stop it.
Godrej Industries Group, one of India’s largest diversified conglomerates, operating across consumer products, real estate, agribusiness, chemicals, and financial services, had service accounts accumulating silently across a hybrid environment spanning 25,000 identities. Passwords that never expired. Credentials hardcoded into applications untouched for years. Privileged access across legacy systems, RDP, SSH, and command-line tools with no MFA in sight. And existing tools that could identify the risk, but had no power to enforce anything at runtime.
As the Group CISO put it: most tools could pinpoint the problems, but what Godrej needed was the solution.
Silverfort delivered exactly that. From the first weeks of deployment, the security team had continuous real-time visibility across every identity in their hybrid environment. Dormant accounts were cleaned up. Service accounts were bound to their intended applications and servers — any attempt to authenticate outside that boundary, blocked at the point of access. Privileged accounts inherited MFA policies automatically through Godrej’s existing AD classification model. And the Authentication Firewall enforced a genuine least-privilege model across domain controllers and tier-0 systems, preventing lateral movement before it could begin.
Read the full case study to discover:
- How Godrej Industries Group gained real-time visibility across 25,000 hybrid identities, surfacing dormant accounts, hardcoded credentials, and uncontrolled authentication paths that had accumulated undetected for years
- Why most identity security tools failed the test, and what runtime enforcement at the point of authentication made possible that detection and reporting alone never could
- How a classification-based approach to MFA and virtual fencing allowed Godrej to enforce granular, policy-driven protection at scale without disrupting operations across a complex, multi-domain hybrid environment
