Silverfort review
Broad identity threat detection and response for hybrid enterprise environments.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Silverfort is an identity security platform for organizations protecting hybrid environments and mixed identity estates. It monitors authentication and access activity across human and machine identities, including Active Directory, cloud identity providers, SaaS applications, legacy systems, and operational technology. Its focus suits enterprises that need to detect identity-based attacks while applying controls directly to risky access. Key capabilities include identity threat detection and response, universal MFA, privileged account discovery, non-human identity monitoring, and least-privilege controls.
Pricing is organized into four quote-based packages. Core includes Identity Security Posture Management and Universal MFA. Plus adds Non-Human Identity Security and AI Agent Security. Advanced adds Authentication Firewall and Identity Threat Detection & Response, while Enterprise adds Access Intelligence and Privileged Access Security. Organizations should compare the required controls against the package structure, since the strongest response and access-governance capabilities are concentrated in the higher tiers. There is no free plan.
Silverfort’s ecosystem fit is a central strength. It supports web, API, and self-hosted deployment and integrates with Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, SIEM platforms, XDR platforms, and SOAR platforms. Its response options include runtime blocking, MFA challenges, session termination, and access quarantine, while virtual fencing and just-in-time access controls address privilege reduction. Enterprises with legacy and modern identities, active directory attack exposure, or machine identity requirements should consider it. Smaller teams seeking a narrowly focused tool or public price comparison may prefer a simpler alternative.
