Identity threat detection and response (ITDR) practices and tools are now essential for detecting and responding to threats targeting identities.

Elevate your identity defence to guard against expanding threats.
Identity remains one of the primary access vectors for ransomware. Over the past year, the Sophos X-Ops Counter Threat Unit (CTU) has noted that the quantity of stolen credentials available for purchase on one of the dark web’s biggest marketplaces has more than doubled.
Identities are no longer confined to the traditional network perimeter. The shift to cloud and remote work has increased the complexity of monitoring and securing the identity attack surface.
Identity and access management systems are challenging to manage, with numerous and constantly evolving settings, policies, and configurations that threat actors target to gain access and elevate privileges.
Cybercriminals exploit compromised identities to gain unauthorised access to sensitive data and systems.
