Case Study: a multinational discreet manufacturing company stops lateral movement with Silverfort

Leading Manufacturer Prevents Lateral Movement in a Supply Chain Attack with Silverfort’s Unified Identity Protection

Multinational Discreet Manufacturing Company, a multinational discreet manufacturing company, wanted to strengthen identity security across systems that did not yet support modern controls, with a focus on preventing account takeover and lateral movement. The company partnered with Silverfort to add real-time protection and visibility around authentications and access attempts.

Silverfort deployed access policies and authentication log monitoring to detect and block identity threats, including brute force activity and NTLM-based lateral movement. In one April 2022 supply chain incident, Silverfort alerted the security team within 30 minutes of suspicious activity and automatically blocked the compromised administrator login, preventing attackers from moving into the company’s domain environment and keeping the attack contained.
