What Is Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR)?

Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) watches how accounts behave after sign-in, so security teams can spot compromised credentials, hijacked sessions and privilege changes that look like normal activity. It works alongside IAM and MFA rather than replacing them. It’s most effective when identity signals are correlated with endpoint, cloud and network telemetry and backed by analysts who can investigate and respond.

Cybersecurity Fundamentals Still Matter: How to Turn Security Controls Into Action

MFA, patching, logging, backups, and incident response are still some of the most effective ways to reduce risk. But a control only protects you if it’s monitored, validated, and backed by clear ownership. This post covers how to operationalize each one and how to measure whether it’s working.

AI Is Expanding the Attack Surface: What Security Teams Need to Know

AI is expanding the attack surface from both directions. Attackers are using it to make phishing, impersonation, and exploitation faster and more convincing, while the AI tools organizations adopt are gaining access to sensitive data, identities, and systems. The first step isn't another AI-specific tool. It's visibility into where AI is used, what it can access, and whether your security operations can spot activity that falls outside expected behavior.

Why Risk-Based Alert Prioritization Changes Security Operations

Traditional SOC queues sort alerts by age (oldest first), but that borrowed help-desk logic ignores what actually matters in security: risk. ArmorPoint's platform uses AI to reorder the queue by risk instead of time, surfacing the most dangerous threats first while leaving investigation and decisions to human analysts.
