Silverfort’s solution for securing service accounts focuses on providing automated visibility, risk analysis, and adaptive Zero Trust policies. The aim is to protect machine-to-machine (M2M) access without requiring password rotation.
Key features
Automated Discovery & Monitoring: Silverfort offers automatic and comprehensive visibility into all your service accounts, including those you might not be aware of. It provides real-time insights into the activity and risk level of these accounts.
Proactive Threat Prevention: The solution places a virtual perimeter around your service accounts using Zero Trust access policies. These policies are tailored to each account's behavior, preventing threat actors from using them for lateral movement attacks.
No Password Rotation: Silverfort allows you to protect your service accounts at scale without the operational concerns that come from password rotation, such as unknown dependencies and breaking mission-critical processes.
AI-Based Discovery: The system uses AI to automatically discover all accounts with machine-like behavior, as well as typical service account attributes and naming conventions.
Continuous Monitoring: Silverfort continuously monitors the access activity of service accounts, providing high-precision anomaly detection, risk scoring for each attempt, and rich contextual data for security teams.
Tailor-Made Policies: Silverfort automatically suggests a tailor-made policy for each service account based on its behavioral pattern. Deviations from this pattern result in either blocking access in real-time or alerting the Security Operations Center (SOC) team.

Additional
insights
Shared Accounts: The system can discover accounts that are being shared by both human users and services.
Role in Attacks: Service accounts often play a key role in attacks like the SunBurst Attack, making their security crucial.
Zero Trust Initiative: The protection of service accounts and machine-to-machine access should be a part of any Zero Trust initiative.
