Service accounts are user accounts that are not associated with any real person and are used for machine-to-machine communication. Service accounts are invisible, highly privileged, and extremely hard to protect, making them a prime target for attackers. Attackers use service accounts to gain access to resources, lateral movement, and ransomware spread. Silverfort’s unified identity protection platform is the first solution to automate the security lifecycle of service accounts with near-zero effort. Silverfort’s platform can discover, monitor, and protect service accounts from threats.
