Silverfort, a unified identity protection company and member
of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA),
announced a new offering that enables organizations to consolidate Identity and
Access Management for all their devices, applications and environments on
Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). This
new solution is being showcased during a virtual
live session at Microsoft Ignite and follows dozens of enterprise customer
wins involving Silverfort's core platform over the past several months.
The Silverfort Unified Identity Protection platform allows customers to
migrate all their hybrid assets, including non-web systems, into Azure AD where
they can be centrally managed as if they were modern web applications. This
enables organizations to unify security policies, visibility and user
experience across all systems and environments, including legacy
on-premises resources that do not natively support integration with Azure
AD or existing application proxies.
Silverfort will also present a webinar on How to consolidate identity
protection for hybrid environments on Azure AD on April 7th at 12pm EST/ 9am
PST. More information and registration details can be found here.
"Identity is becoming the primary security control plane for enterprises,
but it's currently built in silos, lacking unified control and leaving many
sensitive assets exposed," said Hed Kovetz, CEO and Co-Founder of Silverfort.
"Azure AD provides advanced IAM visibility and security and Silverfort now
extends its coverage far beyond any other IAM solution, enabling unified
identity protection. We are excited to collaborate with Microsoft on this
solution that we think will benefit every enterprise."
"Microsoft has been on a mission to help companies protect their corporate
identities, and take advantage of Azure AD as a universal identity platform for
the modern workforce," said Sue Bohn, Partner Director, Microsoft Identity
Division at Microsoft Corp. "The integration with Silverfort allows customers
to extend the power and flexibility of Azure AD to many additional resources
and applications across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, and unify their identity
management and protection on Azure AD."
Silverfort uses agentless and proxyless technology to seamlessly connect
with IAM solutions across hybrid environments, and automatically discovers and
analyzes applications and resources, including those that still rely on
passwords and legacy protocols. The platform accelerates and optimizes the
migration of all applications to cloud-native identity platforms like Azure AD,
while serving as a ‘bridge' for assets that could not be migrated before, such
as:
- Legacy and homegrown
applications
- IT infrastructure
- Active Directory
managed servers and endpoints
- Assets that reside on
other cloud environments, including multi-cloud
- File shares and
databases
- Command-line tools and
other admin interfaces
- Machine-to-machine access
(service accounts)
- Industrial and medical
systems
