ITDR vs IAM Guide

IAM Gets You In. ITDR Keeps You Safe.

Identity Access Management (IAM) controls who gets in. Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) tells you what happens next.

More than 80% of data breaches involve compromised identities. IAM alone isn’t enough.

This guide breaks down how ITDR and IAM work better together:

Real-world attack scenarios (human, non-human, and AI identities)
How ITDR detects what IAM can’t — from code repository misuse to off-hours data exfiltration
Integration benefits like automated response and context enrichment
Key implementation tips to strengthen your identity posture

Benchmark your identity defenses and learn how to spot gaps before attackers do.
