**Modern identity tools protect your cloud. Silverfort Identity Bridge protects everything else.**

Today’s hybrid identity environments combine modern cloud IdPs with legacy on-prem systems—but the security gap between them is where attackers thrive. While cloud platforms enforce phishing-resistant [MFA](https://www.silverfort.com/glossary/multi-factor-authentication-mfa/ "Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)") and adaptive access, on-prem resources still rely on outdated protocols like NTLM, LDAP, and Kerberos that can’t support modern controls.

Silverfort Identity Bridge closes that gap. Acting as a SAML-based layer between your cloud IdP and your legacy infrastructure, Silverfort seamlessly extends your existing [authentication](https://www.silverfort.com/glossary/user-authentication/ "User Authentication") flows to all resources—on-prem, in the cloud, and everything in between.

By converting legacy authentication into modern SAML requests, Identity Bridge lets organizations enforce the same MFA, conditional access, and risk-based policies across their entire ecosystem, without rewriting or replacing applications.

#### In this solution brief, you’ll learn how to:

-   **Bridge legacy protocols** like NTLM and [Kerberos](https://www.silverfort.com/blog/technical-analysis-of-cve-2022-33679-and-cve-2022-33647-kerberos-vulnerabilities/ "Technical Analysis of CVE-2022-33679 and CVE-2022-33647 Kerberos Vulnerabilities") into modern identity frameworks for unified policy enforcement.
-   **Extend phishing-resistant MFA and access policies** to any system—cloud, on-prem, or hybrid.
-   **Stop [lateral movement](https://www.silverfort.com/glossary/lateral-movement/ "Lateral Movement") attacks** by applying modern access controls to historically unprotected environments.
