Sophos ITDR watches Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID for the behaviours that signal account takeover: impossible-travel patterns, password spraying, MFA fatigue, suspicious privilege escalation, and dormant-account reactivation. Detections feed directly into Sophos XDR so analysts see identity events alongside the rest of the attack chain.
Endpoint and network defenses see attacker tools and traffic patterns. ITDR sees the identity itself - who logged in, from where, with what privileges, doing what they shouldn’t normally do.
Continuous monitoring of on-prem AD for the techniques attackers use after a foothold: Kerberoasting, DCSync, Golden Ticket, Pass-the-Hash, and the rest of the BloodHound playbook.
Detection across cloud-only and hybrid Entra tenants: impossible-travel logins, anomalous OAuth consent grants, unusual MFA prompt patterns, and risky sign-in heuristics.
Detect MFA push-bombing attacks, suspicious approval patterns, and number-matching bypass attempts. Surface the patterns that turn a stolen password into a successful login.
Every detection gets a risk score based on the technique, the user, the resource accessed, and the historical baseline. Analysts triage by priority, not by chronological order.
ITDR alerts surface inside Sophos XDR cases next to endpoint, network, email, and cloud events. One investigation timeline that includes the identity context, not a separate console.
Reports surface dormant accounts, over-privileged groups, orphaned service principals, and other identity-hygiene issues that make attacks succeed in the first place.
Most identity-based attacks don’t trip a signature. The attacker has valid credentials. The login succeeds. To the rest of the stack, it’s a Tuesday. ITDR is built to spot the patterns that say otherwise.
Every organization with a directory is exposed to identity-based attacks. ITDR is most valuable in environments where the directory is also the gateway to the most valuable data.
Cloud-first organizations where Entra ID is the keys-to-the-kingdom directory. ITDR adds the detection layer Microsoft’s built-in conditional access doesn’t cover on its own.
Detection beyond conditional accessOn-prem AD federated with Entra ID. Attackers exploit the seams between the two: stale sync, mis-mapped accounts, dormant Kerberos tickets. ITDR sees both sides.
Coverage on both sides of the seamModern policies and frameworks increasingly require identity-specific monitoring. ITDR satisfies those controls and produces the audit evidence that proves it.
Auditable identity monitoringIdentity detection is most valuable when it lands somewhere actionable. These are the products our customers pair with ITDR most often.
Where ITDR detections naturally land. Identity events get auto-correlated with endpoint, network, email, and cloud signals so the full story shows up in one case.
No in-house analysts to triage ITDR alerts? Sophos MDR watches identity, endpoint, network, and cloud signals 24/7 and acts on the ones that matter.
ITDR detects the abuse; ZTNA enforces the access. Together they form the detection-plus-enforcement loop modern identity security needs.
