What is Identity Threat Detection and Response
Services?
The threat landscape is constantly evolving, especially with the rapid transition of
businesses from on-premises to remote working and cloud storage. This transition
might’ve been influenced by the pandemic but before it, the identity and access
layers of organisations were already under siege by malicious attackers.
The threat landscape is constantly evolving, especially with the rapid transition of
businesses from on-premises to remote working and cloud storage. This transition
might’ve been influenced by the pandemic but before it, the identity and access
layers of organisations were already under siege by malicious attackers. This is
because identity is a critical key to accessing the digital resources of businesses,
and at the same time, it is the perimeter that safeguards the assets.
As reported by Gartner, identity layer attacks have skyrocketed, and cyber attackers
have found ways to bypass IAM systems and move undetected within a network. These
attackers steal the credentials of identities with privileged access and have gained
access to the crown jewels of businesses. Thus, threat actors are getting away with
exfiltrating the most sensitive and valuable data of enterprises, ranging from
financial information to employee and customer data.
As a response, IAM and authentication tools like SSO and MFA have been deployed to
reduce the compromise of credentials in businesses. While important, these tools are not
entirely new, and with checkmating cyber breaches, technological evolution is critical.
Microminder’s Identity threat detection and response (ITDR) is a new security category
explicitly designed to secure digital infrastructure while ensuring its continued
efficacy of operations. It is designed to protect the identities of verified users, the
systems that manage them and the assets within their privileges.
