Compare ITDR · Positioning

Not another IGA. The category your SOC needs.

Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) emerged because IGA doesn't detect threats — it only manages access. Identity Rules brings native ITDR: real-time detection mapped to MITRE ATT&CK across human and non-human identities.

If you already have an IGA, Identity Rules adds the threat detection layer it lacks — no replacement needed. To see how visibility and governance layers compare, see IVIP vs IGA.
