Identity Security Enhancement for Local Government

This case study outlines the implementation of Silverfort's identity security solution by the London Borough of Waltham Forest to enhance their security posture for privileged admin accounts. Following a series of ransomware attacks, the Borough recognized the need to strengthen their identity security, particularly for on-premise Active Directory environments. The document details the challenges faced, including limited visibility into user authentication flows and the necessity for multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all privileged accounts. The Borough sought a solution that would integrate with their existing Microsoft infrastructure, leading to the deployment of Silverfort. The implementation process was rapid, taking only a few hours, and resulted in improved security measures, including the bridging of on-prem policies to Entra ID. The case study highlights the benefits of this integration, such as centralized logging of user authentication events and enhanced monitoring of authentication protocols, ultimately leading to a stronger security framework for the local government.
