WatchGuard AuthPoint vs. Silverfort

WatchGuard AuthPoint protects workforce logins to desktops, VPNs, and cloud applications, from Windows and macOS sign-in to Microsoft 365 and third-party SaaS. It runs on WatchGuard Cloud, the same console that manages WatchGuard network and endpoint security. An MSP or an IT team can cover identity without adding another vendor to the stack. When MFA alone is not enough Day-to-day authentication runs through the AuthPoint mobile app, with push, QR code, or one-time password. QR and OTP work when the device has no network connection.

Silverfort’s Unified Identity Protection Platform is the first to consolidate security controls across corporate networks and cloud environments to block identity-based attacks. Using innovative agentless and proxyless technology, Silverfort seamlessly integrates with all existing IAM solutions (e.g., AD, RADIUS, Azure AD, Okta, Ping, AWS IAM), extending coverage to assets that could not previously have been protected, such as legacy applications, IT infrastructure, file systems, command-line tools, and machine-to-machine access.
