Silverfort<\/a>, the identity security company, and\u00a0SentinelOne<\/a>\u00ae, the AI Security leader, today 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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As enterprises accelerate the adoption of AI-driven systems and agentic platforms, new forms of identity risk are also emerging. Modern enterprise environments are now populated by a diverse array of \u201cworkers,\u201d including service accounts, APIs, workload identities, and increasingly autonomous AI agents. These agents are executing actions for humans and systems at machine speed and scale. In the past few weeks, high profile attacks have provided a preview into what lies ahead for modern defenders and the speed at which they will need to respond to agentic and identity-based threats in today\u2019s automated enterprises.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On March 31, 2026, a North Korean state actor executed a sophisticated supply chain attack by hijacking the npm credentials of the primary Axios maintainer. In\u00a0this attack, the first infection was observed 89 seconds after publication, a pace no manual workflow could possibly defend.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A week prior,\u00a0SentinelOne caught and blocked a trojaned version of LiteLLM\u00a0that had been updated by an autonomous coding assistant \u2013 identifying and preemptively killing a malicious process chain originating from Anthropic\u2019s Claude Code running with unrestricted permissions. The malicious action was done without any human in the loop. Just a normal, automated workflow. In this case, SentinelOne\u2019s behavioral AI caught the trojaned package mid-execution, preemptively killing it in under 44 seconds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While these are examples of third-party software supply chain attacks, they each illustrate just how fast such trusted authentication tactics could be executed in modern, automated IT environments, and the speed at which security teams will need to respond.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

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\u2019s\u00a0expertise\u00a0in discovering and securing AI Agents, non-human identities, combined with\u00a0SentinelOne\u2019s\u00a0leadership in AI-powered detection and its expansion into AI security,\u00a0establishes\u00a0a foundation for securing environments where humans, machines, and AI agents\u00a0operate\u00a0simultaneously and autonomously.\u00a0The impact for customers is immediate and material. 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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The partnership moves beyond simple integrations toward deep technical collaboration and joint research, embedding identity enforcement directly into autonomous security operations. By tightly aligning\u00a0Silverfort\u2019s runtime Identity Security\u00a0with SentinelOne\u2019s AI-powered Singularity\u2122 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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cSecurity architectures built around isolated tools are failing to keep up with modern threats,\u201d said Ron Rasin, Chief Strategy Officer, Silverfort<\/strong>. \u201cBy unifying runtime identity enforcement with autonomous AI Security, we are helping organizations stop identity-driven attacks before damage occurs and preparing them to secure the next generation of AI-powered environments. Together, this joint solution enables organizations to secure their entire environment from a single platform, consistently across both cloud and on-premises environments.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
