How does Silverfort protect service accounts without MFA?

Silverfort enables the enforcement of risk-based policies which monitors the regular behavior of service accounts. When detecting a deviation from this behavior, Silverfort can be configured to either log, send an alert, or block the account’s access attempt altogether.

I can’t get all my service accounts into password rotation. How can Silverfort protect the accounts?

Silverfort shows you the different resources the service accounts are using and allows you to create a policy to block any deviation without employing password rotation at all. This makes Silverfort a valid alternative for the service accounts you’ve managed to get under password rotation.

I have many service accounts and I need to track their activity. How can Silverfort help monitor them?

Silverfort recognizes service accounts automatically by the account behavior. In the Silverfort service accounts dashboard, you will have complete visibility into all your services accounts with activity logs and different security insights; for example, you’ll be able to see if a service account has high privileges or has used interactive logon.

Case Study

Service accounts are a security nightmare because you can’t put MFA on them. Silverfort was able to protect what no one else can, including our service accounts. Of the security tools that we use, Silverfort has a very high return on investment.

Customer Challenge

Kayak struggled to find a solution that could extend identity security controls over their entire environment, particularly their critical applications that use LDAP and their service accounts.
Silverfort Solution

Silverfort enabled Kayak to put real-time protection on service accounts by enforcing policies that block any access that deviated from normal behavior. Because of this, even if attackers could compromise the credentials of their service accounts, they would not be able to use them for malicious access.
