Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) software detects identity-related threats and vulnerabilities, such as credential misuse, unauthorized access, privilege escalation, and other identity-based attacks. This software is primarily used by information security teams as part of their broader threat detection efforts, focusing specifically on the identity-related aspects of the attack surface. Unlike Identity and Access Management (IAM) software, which prevents identity-related risks through proper user authentication and access controls upfront, ITDR identifies and responds to threats after systems have been compromised. Additionally, ITDR differs from Insider Threat Management (ITM) software, as it focuses on detecting abuse of credentials and privileges, typically by external attackers exploiting identity vulnerabilities. In contrast, ITM monitors the actions of insiders, such as unauthorized data downloads, by users with legitimate access.
