Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) has emerged as a critical pillar in modern identity and access management (IAM) strategies, addressing the growing need to protect against sophisticated identity-based attacks. This presentation will provide an exploration of ITDR, breaking down its core concepts, technical components, and architectural frameworks. Attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of ITDR’s role in identifying and mitigating threats that exploit identity systems, including compromised credentials, privilege escalation, and lateral movement. By focusing on real-world attack scenarios and evolving threat vectors, this session highlights why ITDR is essential for organizations striving to enhance their cyber resilience.
The discussion will look at the technical building blocks of ITDR, including the integration of behavioral analytics, machine learning models, and threat intelligence within identity ecosystems. Attendees will learn about the architectural considerations for deploying ITDR solutions, including how they interact with identity providers, access management systems, and security information and event management (SIEM) platforms. Best practices for implementing ITDR at scale, aligning it with zero trust principles, and ensuring interoperability with existing IAM frameworks will also be covered. This technical deep dive aims to equip IAM professionals with actionable knowledge and strategies to effectively combat identity-based threats in increasingly complex IT environments.
