Revolutionizing Incident Response with Silverfort’s Identity-First Solution

Silverfort’s Identity-First Solution

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the ability to swiftly and effectively respond to incidents is paramount. Traditional incident response (IR) processes often fall short, leaving organizations vulnerable to prolonged attacks. As an IAM consultancy firm, we recognize the critical need for innovative solutions that enhance IR capabilities. Silverfort’s new Identity-First Incident Response solution is a game-changer, designed to complement existing IR tools and optimize the entire process.

The Challenge: Inefficiencies in Traditional IR Processes

Conventional IR playbooks typically start by searching for infected machines or monitoring network logs for anomalous traffic. Identifying stolen identities—whether human users or non-human identities (NHI)—is often the last step, allowing attackers ample time to propagate within the network. This delay can extend the time to identify and contain breaches involving stolen credentials to upwards of 292 days.

The Solution: Silverfort’s Identity-First Approach

Silverfort’s Identity-First Incident Response solution flips the traditional IR process upside down. By starting with the identification and containment of compromised accounts, IR teams can effectively freeze malicious activity from the outset. Leveraging machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), Silverfort provides highly actionable telemetry, enabling security teams to quickly determine which accounts need to be blocked and which can remain operational.

Real-World Impact: Accelerating Remediation

Silverfort’s approach has already assisted several Fortune 500 companies in recent breaches. For instance, a Fortune 100 financial services company was able to deploy Silverfort’s solution mid-breach across 50,000 users in under 12 hours. This rapid deployment allowed the IR team to block compromised identities and prevent further lateral movement, significantly reducing the blast radius of the attack.

Key Benefits of Silverfort’s Identity-First IR Solution

• Real-Time Blocking: Instantly trigger MFA or block access to compromised accounts, stopping attacks as they happen and providing actionable forensic data.
• Risk Analysis and Visibility: Automatically flag risky users and computers, offering clear insights into compromised assets and activities.
• Authentication Firewall: Activate a firewall for identity infrastructure, including Active Directory Domain Controllers, to deny access to critical resources until the threat is contained.
• Seamless Integration: Integrate identity protection measures into existing Security Operations Infrastructure, enhancing the precision of detected threats and optimizing response efforts.
• Comprehensive Coverage: Monitor every authentication and access attempt across on-prem and cloud environments, ensuring no blind spots.
