Identity-based attacks have become a top threat to businesses. Cybercriminals are employing advanced techniques to effectively exploit compromised credentials, manipulate authentication methods, and gain unauthorized access to critical business systems.

Microsoft 365 environments, in particular, are prime targets for attackers due to their vast adoption and deep integration with business operations. That’s why organizations need a proactive, round-the-clock defense strategy to safeguard their identities. This is where Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) steps in.

 

Why ITDR Matters for Your Business

Your business operates 24/7, and so do cyber threats. A single compromised identity can lead to catastrophic consequences, including data breaches, financial loss, and reputational damage. ITDR provides continuous monitoring, rapid detection, and immediate response to identity-focused threats. With real-time insights and expert intervention, ITDR ensures your Microsoft 365 environment remains secure.

 

Key Outcomes of ITDR

Here’s how ITDR helps protect your business:

24/7 Eyes on Your Identities – Gain continuous visibility into your identity attack surface with expert monitoring.

Protect, Detect, and Respond – Stop threats before they impact your critical assets.

Block Unwanted Access – Prevent unauthorized users from infiltrating your systems.

Uncover Shadow Workflows – Identify and neutralize hidden threats before they escalate.

Skip the Noise, Not the Threat – Focus only on real identity threats, not false positives.

 

Threats Detected by ITDR

ITDR is designed to proactively identify and mitigate the most pressing identity-related threats, including:

🔹 Session Hijacking – Attackers attempt to steal active sessions to bypass authentication.

🔹 Privilege Escalation – Prevent unauthorized users from gaining admin-level access.

🔹 Credential Theft – Keep cybercriminals from compromising user credentials.

🔹 Location-Based Anomalies – Detect login attempts from unusual or suspicious locations.

🔹 Malicious Inbox & Forwarding Rules – Stop attackers from manipulating mail flow to steal sensitive data.

 

How Managed ITDR Works

Our ITDR solution takes a multi-layered approach to securing your Microsoft 365 identities and email environments. Here’s how it works:

1. Collect: We continuously capture Microsoft event data, including user activity, policy changes, login attempts, and mail flow manipulation, to detect anomalies early.

2. Detect: Our Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts and threat detection engineers use advanced detection logic to analyze the collected data, identifying potential threats in real-time.

3. Analyze: Our experts scrutinize alerts to cut through false positives, ensuring that only legitimate security threats are escalated for action.

4. Report: When a verified threat is detected, we provide a comprehensive incident report, summarizing the findings and outlining next steps.

5. Remediate: In cases of active threats, we take immediate action by logging out or disabling compromised identities. If further action is needed, we provide detailed guidance for your security team.
