Detect Leaked or Stolen Credentials

Credentials on dark web 2x YoY

ITDR monitors breach data and alerts you when employee credentials appear in dark-web sources, reducing the risk of account takeover.

Respond to Threats Faster

Automated response actions

ITDR pinpoints risky logins and suspicious patterns. Teams can quickly reset passwords, lock accounts, revoke sessions, and contain identity threats.

Identity Security Challenges Businesses Face

Expanding Attack Surface

Cloud apps, remote work, and third-party integrations increase exposure beyond traditional network boundaries.

Complex IAM Environments

Modern environments evolve constantly with policies, permissions, and configuration changes creating unintentional security gaps.

Stolen or Leaked Credentials

Threat actors actively harvest and resell credentials, which remain a top vector for ransomware and account compromise.

Limited Visibility

Traditional tools don't provide a unified view of identity posture, leaving gaps that attackers can exploit.

Stronger Identity Defense With Sophos ITDR

Quickly uncover misconfigurations, over-privileged accounts, orphaned identities, and risky applications across your environment.

Dark-Web Credential Intelligence

Receive alerts when employee credentials appear on dark-web marketplaces or breach databases before they can be exploited.

User Behavior Analytics

Identify anomalies such as unusual login locations, unfamiliar devices, or suspicious access patterns that indicate compromise.

Advanced Identity Threat Detection

Detect malicious activities tied to MITRE ATT&CK credential-access techniques and insider threats in real time.

Precise Threat Response Actions

Customer Perspective

"Identity threats were the blind spot in our security program. Adding Sophos ITDR gave us immediate visibility into risky accounts, misconfigurations, and compromised credentials we didn't know existed. It's now one of the most valuable data feeds in our security operations."

— Director of Information Security, Financial Services Organization

Better Together: ITDR + Microsoft Entra ID

Microsoft Entra ID delivers core identity and access management capabilities — but most organizations still face configuration gaps, privilege issues, and a lack of visibility into identity threats.

Sophos ITDR extends Entra ID with:

Continuous posture assessments to uncover misconfigurations, weak policies, insecure applications, and orphaned accounts
Dark-web credential monitoring to alert when user credentials appear in breach databases or criminal marketplaces
User behavior analytics to detect unusual login locations, high-risk access patterns, or compromised identity use
Advanced identity threat detection aligned with MITRE ATT&CK Credential Access framework

Entra ID secures access. ITDR secures identity. Together, they protect your organization from today's fastest-growing attack vector.
