# 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.**
