What is Identity Threat Detection And Response (ITDR)
Astrix, Monday, June 17th, 2024
Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) is a framework that focuses on protecting your organization from being compromised by threat actors exploiting your organization's identities.
Practically, ITDR solutions include system policies, best practices, and effective tools to monitor, detect, and respond to identity-based threats in real-time across an organization's environments.
Some other known identity threat frameworks in cybersecurity include IAM (Identity Access Management), PAM (Privileged Access Management), and IGA (Identity Governance and Administration). Each one has its own specific pros and cons, but traditionally, they are all mainly focused on securing human identities in systems, such as users and admins.
However, non-human identities are often overlooked in those frameworks, neglecting significant risks and vulnerabilities that have become more and more favored by attackers.
