What Is ITDR — And Why Verosint Is Leading the Charge

In today’s identity-first world, attackers no longer need to break in — they simply log in. Whether through phishing, session hijacking, or abusing over-permissioned accounts, identity is the new perimeter. And that’s why Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) has emerged as one of the most critical components of modern security strategy.

At Verosint, we believe ITDR shouldn’t just be another detection layer — it should be the connective tissue between identity, risk, and response. Here’s what ITDR is, why it matters, and how Verosint is redefining what it means to secure identity at runtime.

‍What Is ITDR?

ITDR (Identity Threat Detection and Response) is a security discipline focused on identifying, detecting, and responding to identity-based threats across your environment. And identity-based threats are growing over 3X per year and inflicting heavy costs on organizations:

• $4.81M average cost of a successful attack in 2024
• 61% of all company breaches used exploited user accounts
• 292 days of average from threat  detection to remediation for organizations without ITDR

Whereas traditional IAM tools enforce access control at the time of login, ITDR picks up where IAM leaves off — by:

• Monitoring behavior before and after authentication
  
• Detecting suspicious access, impossible travel, behavior anomalies, unusual session activity, and more
  
• Providing unified visibility and context to security teams about the true risk behind identity events
  
• Enabling faster, automated workflow responses to contain identity-based threats before they cause downstream harm
  

It’s a core capability in addition to Identity and Access Management platforms — and a crucial complement to SIEM and EDR.

Why Verosint Is Different

Most ITDR tools focus on risk signals from device endpoints or event logs. Unfortunately, today most cybercriminals now have access to easy-to-use attack toolkits to get around these signals. And then there are some security vendors that claim ITDR capabilities to jump on the latest trend when they really don’t exist.

However, Verosint takes a unique approach based on a combination of identity intelligence, AI behavioral analytics, and curated Open Source Intelligence Signals (OSINT) to provide a  much more adaptive and comprehensive solution.

Here’s how Verosint stands out:

1. Real-Time Identity Intelligence

Verosint continuously evaluates user, session, and identity provider signals — including:

• Geo anomalies
  
• Inconsistent device fingerprints
  
• Behavior mismatches across sessions
  
• Signal mismatches from identity providers like Okta, Microsoft Entra, Ping, Forgerock and others
  

We correlate these signals to assess trust before and after authentication — in real time.

2. Out-of-the-Box Integration with IAM Platforms

Unlike legacy tools that treat identity as just another data source, Verosint is built for identity providers like Okta, Entra, Ping and others. That means:

• Plug-and-play ITDR capabilities via API calls
  
• Easy integration via IAM platform workflows
  
• Implementation in minutes or hours, not days or weeks
  

We don’t just alert — we enable action right from the identity layer.

3. Unified Visibility Into Identity Security

Verosint brings together fraud signals, session intelligence, and user history into a single unified view and risk score. This lets you:

• Investigate identity security events fast
  
• Respond and remediate threats quickly and with confidence
• Automate additional challenges or verification actions
  
• Become more productive and efficient with the security resources you have
  

Whether it’s an attacker using a valid session or a developer misusing a token, we help you see the invisible.

4. Built for Speed and Efficiency

You don’t need a six-month SIEM project to get value. Verosint gives security and IAM teams:

• Immediate visibility
  
• Risk-based response options
  
• Low-friction deployment
  

It’s ITDR you can actually use and obtain value from — today.

Where Verosint Fits In

Verosint and ITDR is critical to fill a gap that exists across SIEM, EDR, and IAM. It’s not a replacement for them — it’s real-time security glue between them. By giving you actionable context and continuous identity visibility, we:

• Fill a security gap that stops cybercriminals increasingly exploit
  
• Bridge IAM and SecOps workflows to make your teams for effective and efficient
  
• Deliver real-time risk intelligence for every user and session
  

The Bottom Line

ITDR is no longer optional since identity has become the favored attack vector for security breaches. However, not all ITDR solutions are created equal. Verosint gives you the unified visibility, comprehensive intelligence signals, AI-driven behavioral analytics and context, and response automation to protect your users, customers and partners — and not simply at login.
