ITDR:
Identity Threat Detection and Response

ITDR refers to a set of cybersecurity practices and technologies designed to identify, respond to, and mitigate threats specifically targeting user identities and access privileges within an organization. This approach focuses on monitoring user behavior and access patterns to detect any anomalies that may indicate malicious activities, such as unauthorized access attempts, credential theft, or insider threats. By leveraging advanced analytics, machine learning, and user behavior analytics, ITDR solutions provide organizations with the ability to quickly respond to identity-related threats and enforce security policies to protect sensitive data and resources.

In the context of modern cybersecurity, where the human factor plays a critical role in maintaining security, ITDR becomes essential for safeguarding against identity-based attacks. These solutions help organizations ensure compliance with regulatory requirements by providing visibility into identity usage and potential risks. By detecting threats in real-time and automating response actions, ITDR not only enhances the overall security posture of an organization but also reduces the burden on IT and security teams, allowing them to focus on more strategic initiatives.
