Silverfort, the identity security company, and SentinelOne, the AI Security leader, announced a strategic partnership to secure human, AI agent and other non-human identities (NHIs). This collaboration brings together best-in-class runtime security across identities, endpoints, cloud workloads and AI applications to protect against increasingly sophisticated identity attacks. As a result, organizations can confidently benefit from agentic innovation while ensuring they have autonomous defense in place to detect and respond to both human and agentic threats at machine speed.
Through this partnership, Silverfort and SentinelOne are directly addressing this challenge by securing identity at runtime, resulting in faster containment, reduced lateral movement & privilege escalation. Silverfort?s expertise in discovering and securing AI Agents, non-human identities, combined with SentinelOne?s leadership in AI-powered detection and its expansion into AI security, establishes a foundation for securing environments where humans, machines, and AI agents operate simultaneously and autonomously. Identity risk becomes a first-class signal in AI-driven threat detection and automated SOC workflows and illegitimate authentication requests are stopped at runtime while compromised credentials can be isolated and quarantined.
The partnership moves beyond simple integrations toward deep technical collaboration and joint research, embedding identity enforcement directly into autonomous security operations. By tightly aligning Silverfort?s runtime Identity Security with SentinelOne?s AI-powered Singularity security, the companies are establishing a unified, real-time control plane to connect identity and endpoint intelligence into a single decision fabric, enabling real-time enforcement actions across both endpoint and identity domains. Key aspects of the joint solution and partnership include: Runtime Identity Security: Silverfort discovers protects all identity types with runtime access controls including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Just-in-time (JIT) access, virtual fencing of machine identities, and adaptive policies.
IT extends robust identity security controls to sensitive resources and assets, including legacy systems, proprietary applications, and critical IT infrastructure that were previously unprotected. AI-Powered Threat Detection and Response: SentinelOne?s Singularity Platform provides best-in-class, AI-driven detection and response capabilities across endpoints, cloud workloads, and user identities. The joint solution enables correlation of endpoint and identity signals during real-time execution.
This allows for seamless data exchange to enrich threat context and accelerate remediation actions. Autonomous Security Posture: The integrated solution enables organizations to autonomously block identity-based threats at runtime, preventing attackers from using legitimate credentials to move laterally within the network. This significantly reduces the window of exposure and the impact of a potential breach.
Incident responders can surgically remove the threat actors without taking down the entire business. Simplified Deployment and Management: Joint customers benefit from a simplified security architecture that centralizes identity security enforcement, enhancing operational efficiency and providing a cohesive security posture across the entire IT ecosystem.
