Identity security challenges businesses face

Modern identity threats require specialised detection and response capabilities that go beyond traditional security tools.

90% Affected by Identity Breaches

Most breaches now involve compromised accounts. Credential theft remains the top vector for ransomware and account compromise.

95% Have Entra ID Misconfigurations

Complex IAM environments evolve constantly — policies, permissions, and config changes create unintentional security gaps.

No Unified Identity View

Traditional tools don't provide a unified view of identity posture, leaving gaps that attackers can exploit across cloud and on-prem environments.

Credential exposure on the dark web has doubled year-over-year. Sophos ITDR monitors breach data and alerts you when employee credentials appear in criminal marketplaces — before attackers can use them.

Key outcomes with Sophos ITDR

Address critical identity security challenges facing distributed organisations without adding complexity.

Reduce identity-based breaches

Identifies credential theft, abnormal user activity, and early-stage attack techniques before adversaries can escalate access.

Close misconfiguration gaps

Continuously assesses your identity posture and highlights misconfigured accounts and policies requiring immediate remediation.

Detect leaked credentials

Monitors breach databases and dark-web marketplaces, alerting you the moment employee credentials surface online.

Respond to threats faster

Automated response actions let teams quickly reset passwords, lock accounts, revoke sessions, and contain identity threats.

Better together: ITDR + Microsoft Entra ID

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

Sophos ITDR extends Entra ID with continuous posture assessments, dark-web credential monitoring, user behaviour analytics, and advanced identity threat detection aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK Credential Access framework.

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

Microsoft Entra ID

Core identity & access management — authentication, SSO, conditional access, and directory services.

+ Sophos ITDR

Continuous posture monitoring, dark-web intelligence, behaviour analytics, and active identity threat response layered on top.

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 Organisation
