Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) is a cybersecurity approach that focuses on identifying and mitigating threats specifically related to digital identities within an organization. ITDR systems continuously monitor user activities, access patterns, and authentication events to detect anomalies that may indicate compromise or misuse of identities. This includes identifying suspicious login attempts, unusual privileged access usage, or signs of credential theft. Once a potential threat is detected, ITDR solutions can automatically respond by triggering alerts, enforcing additional authentication checks, or even revoking access privileges. By focusing on identity-centric threats, ITDR complements traditional security measures and helps organizations protect against sophisticated attacks that exploit compromised or misused credentials.
