Service accounts are critical. They’re also one of the least protected parts of your identity infrastructure.
This white paper explains why these non-human identities—used by systems and applications to communicate—are high-value targets for attackers, and how most organizations unknowingly leave them wide open to compromise. We lay out a practical, step-by-step guide for securing service accounts across hybrid environments, so you can learn how to automatically discover every account, understand how they’re being used, assess risk, and enforce least-privilege access—without disrupting your operations.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or optimizing an existing strategy, this guide will help you reduce risk, prevent lateral movement, and shrink your attack surface.
In this white paper, you’ll learn how to:
- Discover and inventory all service accounts, including machine-to-machine, hybrid, scanner, and dormant accounts.
- Prioritize protection based on risk, privilege, and usage patterns using built-in Silverfort insights.
- Automate policy enforcement with smart rules and integrations (like ServiceNow and REST APIs).
