The security of digital identities has never been more paramount, and Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) is a 2024 cybersecurity approach focusing on protecting and managing digital identities.
ITDR refers to the strategies and technologies employed to detect, investigate, and mitigate threats against digital identities. These identities could range from individual user accounts to service accounts that perform automated tasks. ITDR is a holistic approach that encompasses monitoring, analytics, and response mechanisms to protect against identity theft, account takeover, and other identity-related security breaches, with cybersecurity automation to enhance efficiency and accuracy in threat detection and response, significantly reducing the time and resources required for managing cyber threats.
