When critical public services are at stake, visibility and control over identity access isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s essential.
Faced with limited MFA coverage, hidden service account risks, and growing concerns about ransomware, Southampton City Council needed a solution that could strengthen identity protection across its hybrid environment—quickly and effectively. Working with trusted partner BlueFort Security, they turned to Silverfort.
This case study explores how the Council replaced legacy token-based systems with modern MFA, secured remote and internal access, and gained visibility into dormant service accounts that posed hidden risk. The result? Reduced ransomware exposure, faster incident response, and a more streamlined admin experience—all without major infrastructure changes.
In this case study, you’ll learn how Southampton City Council:
- Extended MFA protection across on-prem, remote, and third-party access points with ease.
- Discovered and cleaned up dormant service accounts, reducing risk and improving operational hygiene.
- Embedded identity security into their ransomware response, enabling real-time blocking of malicious activity.
