April 2026 | Cybersecurity & AI News | Israel -Israeli cybersecurity unicorn Silverfort has acquired AI-focused identity security startup Fabrix, in a deal estimated to be worth tens of millions of dollars.
While the exact financial details remain undisclosed, the acquisition is expected to significantly enhance Silverfort’s capabilities in real-time identity protection powered by artificial intelligence.
Strategic Move to Build AI-Native Identity Security
With this acquisition, Silverfort aims to develop a next-generation identity security system that can dynamically manage access for:
- Human users
- Machines and systems
- AI agents and autonomous identities
The combined platform will enable organizations to make real-time access decisions, moving beyond traditional static security models.
Leadership Vision: From Static Rules to Real-Time AI Decisions
“Today, Identity Security and access control rely on rules that are created at ‘admin time’, attempting to pre-define access. But in the AI era, it’s becoming impossible to keep up, and organizations are rapidly losing control. The only way to mitigate this risk without stopping the business is to make access decisions at runtime, using AI and deep context,” said Hed Kovetz, CEO and Co-Founder of Silverfort.
“Together with Fabrix, Silverfort’s platform will empower enterprises to protect their human, non-human, and agentic identities and their access, dynamically and continuously, using a runtime AI decisioning engine. Fabrix’s innovative technology and track record across AI, security and identity bring the expertise needed to create the new standard for Identity Security in the AI era.”
Fabrix Team Joins Silverfort
As part of the deal, all 14 employees of Fabrix will join Silverfort, strengthening its AI and security talent pool.
“We founded Fabrix with a clear vision: making Identity Security easier, faster, and more scalable using an AI-native approach,” said Raz Rotenberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Fabrix.
“By joining Silverfort, we can bring this transformation to the largest companies in the world and combine our AI engine with Silverfort’s runtime enforcement to create something no one has achieved before. We are excited to become part of the team shaping the future of identity security.”
