Identity Threat Detection & Response - on-prem to cloud ITDR from Microsoft

Microsoft Mechanics Podcast

Protect against identity-based attacks with Identity Threat Detection and Response capabilities. Ensure your organization is equipped to protect identities wherever they are—on-premises, in the cloud or hybrid. As an integral component of the XDR experience, identity alerts are contextualized within broader security incidents, enhancing your ability to manage threats effectively. The integrated Copilot experience and advanced hunting capabilities allow for in-depth investigation of alerts and activity logs. Security analysts and identity admins can collaborate seamlessly with bidirectional integration between Defender XDR and Microsoft Entra.

Daniel Lynch, Microsoft Defender for Identity’s Senior Product Manager, shares how Identity Threat Detection and Response can be utilized in daily operations and coordinated actions throughout every phase of an identity-related security incident, strengthening your organization's defense posture.
