Identity Threat Detection and Response, or ITDR, is a crucial component of overall cybersecurity and Identity & Access Management (IAM) strategy. It focuses on detecting and responding to threats that target an organization's digital identities, human and the increasing plethora of system/machine accounts.

ITDR augments IAM, adding Detect & Response capabilities to today’s IAM preventive-only controls. ITDR can help to identify potential security breaches and take actions leveraging the IAM platform, such as blocking access to sensitive data, disabling compromised accounts, and reviewing access permissions based on risky situations.
