Strengthening Your Security Posture with EDR & ITDR

Cyber attackers aren’t just targeting networks anymore—they’re going after identities and endpoints at scale. In fact, over 80% of breaches involve compromised credentials or exploited devices. In this month’s service spotlight, we break down two critical layers of modern cyber defense—Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR)—and show how they…

Cyber attackers aren’t just targeting networks anymore—they’re going after identities and endpoints at scale. In fact, over 80% of breaches involve compromised credentials or exploited devices. In this month’s spotlight, we break down two critical layers of modern cyber defense—Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR)—and show how they work together to keep your organization safer.

What is EDR?

EDR monitors the activity and behavior on your endpoints—like laptops, servers, and mobile devices—to detect, investigate, and respond to suspicious threats in real-time. It helps security teams stop attacks early, before they spread or cause damage.

What is ITDR?

ITDR focuses on protecting your organization’s identity systems, such as Active Directory and cloud identity platforms. It detects threats that target user accounts, spots unusual login behaviors, and helps prevent attackers from moving laterally within your network by exploiting privileged access.

Why You Need Both

While EDR protects your devices, ITDR protects your users—and today’s attackers often exploit both in combination. Together, these solutions provide broader visibility and faster response, significantly reducing risk.

Real-World Impact

One of our healthcare clients recently detected a suspicious PowerShell script on a workstation through EDR. But it was the ITDR solution that revealed the attacker had already compromised a privileged user account. Thanks to this layered detection, our team isolated the endpoint and stopped the identity threat before any sensitive data was accessed.
