Why Managed Identity Threat Detection and Response Matters Today

Attackers now focus on accounts and sessions because they offer direct routes to business systems and data.

In 2024 Microsoft reported more than 7,000 password attacks per second and a 146% jump in AiTM phishing. These figures show how rapidly identity attacks can scale and why early action matters.

Hybrid cloud and SaaS expand where adversaries probe for weak points. Misconfigured conditional access, abused tokens, and rogue OAuth consents create new pathways into workloads.

Fragmented tools slow response and increase exposure. Organizations using six or more identity and network solutions face a 79% higher chance of a major breach. Consolidating visibility across access and authentication flows reduces blind spots.

  • Continuous monitoring helps separate legitimate users from malicious sessions in near real time.
  • Business email compromise exploits inbox rules and shadow automation, so mailbox monitoring is essential.
  • Applying microsoft security research lets teams learn microsoft best practices and lower successful identity attacks.

Core ITDR Capabilities that Detect and Disrupt Identity Attacks

We combine continuous monitoring with clear playbooks to stop account misuse before data is exposed.

Session hijacking detection and containment. We watch token use patterns to spot stolen sessions that bypass MFA. When misuse appears, we enforce rapid session revocation and isolate affected sessions to cut off access quickly.

Credential theft, impossible travel, and VPN anomalies. Correlation engines link unusual sign-ins, impossible travel events, and odd VPN hops into high-confidence alerts. These signals trigger priority checks and guided steps to secure accounts.

session hijacking detection

  • Rogue app discovery and remediation: We inventory consented apps, flag risky permissions, and remove Traitorware or Stealthware to stop persistence.
  • Email and shadow workflow protection: Suspicious mailbox rules, forwarding, and anomalous send behavior are surfaced with SOC-backed remediation guidance.
  • Automated, prioritized playbooks: Playbooks guide session revocation, password resets, token invalidation, and conditional access changes with human oversight when needed.

Alerts include business context and verified next steps so teams act with confidence. These capabilities shrink the attack window, limit data exposure, and strengthen overall protection.

Integrations that Maximize Protection: IAM, XDR, and SOC Working as One

When access decisions use real-time telemetry, protections keep pace with modern attacks.

We unite authentication, endpoint, and cloud signals into a single operational platform. This shrink-wraps visibility so teams can act quickly and with context.

Microsoft Entra and Microsoft Defender bi-directional identity signals

Microsoft Entra and Microsoft Defender exchange signals bi-directionally to enable risk-based access at the point of sign-in.

Defender feeds telemetry that sharpens access decisions while Entra enforces policies in real time. This loop improves detection quality, reduces latency, and speeds containment of suspicious sessions and threats.

Extended detection and response that closes cross-domain gaps

We tie extended detection response to identity access management to close gaps between authentication events, endpoints, and SaaS apps.

Correlated signals let the SOC prioritize high-fidelity alerts and automate containment where appropriate.

From posture to action: Secure Score and exposure management

Secure Score and XSPM surface identity-focused hardening opportunities.

Our team converts posture insights into prioritized, measurable tasks so your access management policies evolve as adversaries do. We also help you learn microsoft best practices to lower operational cost and improve protection.

  • Real-time identity signals at authentication for dynamic controls.
  • Bi-directional microsoft defender integration for richer context.
  • Operational alignment of IAM, XDR, and SOC to reduce risks from apps and misconfigurations.

Proactive Identity Posture Management for Reduced Risk

A strong posture starts when teams map normal user behavior and remove stale access before it can be abused.

We apply UEBA (user and entity behavior analytics) to build a clear baseline for accounts and identities. This baseline flags rapid deviations that often precede account takeover.

Posture management then targets the common roots of exposure: stale accounts, unused roles, and excessive permissions. By removing these footholds, we make exploitation harder and faster to spot.

UEBA baselining to detect deviations in real time

Baselines let us surface anomalies with high confidence and low noise. Alerts tie to user behavior, access patterns, and session attributes so teams act quickly with context.

Eliminating stale accounts and over-privilege before attacks strike

We convert posture signals into a prioritized view of fixes using Microsoft Secure Score and XSPM guidance. That view feeds work queues for IT and security to enforce least privilege without slowing business.

  • Continuous validation of access assignments and entitlement drift.
  • Actionable playbooks that translate posture into remediation tasks.
  • Periodic reviews to keep baselines current as users and apps change.
Capability What it finds Primary outcome
UEBA baselining Unusual sign-ins, abnormal sessions Faster, high-fidelity detection
Posture cleanup Stale accounts, unused roles Reduced attack surface
Prioritized remediation Top-risk entitlements and misconfigurations Measurable risk reduction over time

Our solutions give a single view of access risks and protection tasks. For teams using Microsoft tooling, we align fixes with platform guidance such as Microsoft Defender for Identity to speed implementation and lower exposure time.

How We Reduce Time to Detect and Respond

Fast, analyst-backed interventions prevent lateral movement and limit business impact.

Automatic attack disruption for active adversaries

We use XDR signals, AI, and threat intelligence to identify in-progress attacks and act quickly. Automatic attack disruption isolates compromised assets and terminates risky sessions in near real time.

That rapid containment stops lateral movement and buys forensic time for a full investigation. Our SOC overlays automation with human review to ensure safe, high-confidence actions.
