Page 8 - Three Steps to Identity Zero Trust with Silverfort and Azure AD - Silverfort

Step 3: Extend Azure AD Zero Trust

to the entire enterprise

environment

Silverfort extends Azure AD secure access capabilities
to all on-premises machines and legacy applications to

provide a cohesive and consistent Zero Trust across all
enterprise resources.

While migration to the cloud is and MFA to these resources as
indeed increasing, there are still well. Together, the Silverfort and
core enterprise resources that Azure AD integration materially
reside on-premises such as legacy reduces attackers’ ability to per-
applications, workstations, and form malicious access with com-
servers. Compromised credentials promised credentials by applying
are a key attack vector to access Zero Trust access policies. These
these resources in lateral move- policies require additional valida-
ment and ransomware propaga- tion on top of mere credentials to
tion. Silverfort can now fill a critical trust the user and grant access to
historical security gap by extend- the requested resource.

Ransomware attacks are rising

Ransomware attacks are rapidly increasing in scope and volume. Ransomware payloads utilize
compromised credentials to propagate in the attacked network, making the extension of Azure
AD Zero Trust to the on-premises environment a key necessity. 3
