What is identity threat detection and response (ITDR)?

Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) is a suite of tools and practices designed to guard against cyberattacks that target user identities or Identity and Access Management infrastructure. Popularized by Gartner in 2022, ITDR helps protect businesses from the growing threat of identity-related cyberattacks, which 90% of organizations reportedly experienced in the past year. ITDR systems use technologies like analytics, AI, machine learning, and automation to detect, respond, and guard against such threats.
