In the Spotlight – Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR)

What Is ITDR? 

ITDR combines real-time monitoring, automated response, and intelligent detection tools to secure identity systems like usernames, passwords, and access tokens that grant entry to platforms such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and cloud-based CRMs. 

Unlike traditional security solutions, ITDR focuses on the behaviour of users and systems. It continuously scans for signs of unauthorised access, credential misuse, and suspicious activity, then responds instantly to contain the threat.  

Why It Matters 

According to Gitnux 81% of data breaches are due to compromised credentials, frequently a result of misuse or mishandling of login information. That’s a major risk for businesses managing a mix of office-based and remote workers, using both company-issued and personal devices across multiple platforms. 

Without ITDR, your business could be exposed to threats that bypass firewalls and antivirus software. With ITDR, you gain a layer of protection that ensures only the right people access your data, no matter where they are or what device they’re using.
