ThreatDown, the former corporate business unit of Malwarebytes, today announced the launch of ThreatDown Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR). ITDR is a new product that helps security teams monitor identities to detect suspicious activity, misconfigurations, and active attacks targeting user accounts and privileges. With native integrations for Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and Active Directory, security teams gain unified visibility across hybrid identity environments without deploying additional agents.

Quick Intel

  • ThreatDown launches ITDR with native integrations for Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and Active Directory; deploys in minutes with no additional agent or console.

  • Natively integrated with ThreatDown EDR and MDR platform for correlated endpoint-to-identity visibility and guided response.

  • Identity breaches take over 8+ months on average to detect, contain, and remediate.

  • ThreatDown also launches Ultimate MDR Plus bundle combining ITDR, MDR Plus, and Premium Support in single SKU.

  • ITDR available as add-on to Advanced EDR and Elite MDR bundles; MSPs can add à la carte.

  • For Elite MDR and Ultimate MDR Plus customers, ThreatDown managed services team leads identity detection and remediation 24/7.

Closing the Identity Detection Gap

“Attackers have shifted from breaking in to logging in, which means the most dangerous activity now happens after authentication,” said Kendra Krause, General Manager of ThreatDown. “Identity threat detection is the natural next layer of our platform, extending the same unified visibility and guided response our customers rely on for endpoints into the identity systems they use every day. By building ITDR directly into our platform, we're giving lean IT teams and MSPs a practical way to close this gap without a new tool, a new console, or added overhead.”

Identities have proliferated across SaaS, cloud workloads, and managed or unmanaged devices. Today, credentials are the most common entry point in data breaches. Attackers no longer break in, they log in using valid, stolen credentials, bypassing IAM and MFA. They operate undetected in the gap between authentication and action. Identity breaches take the longest to detect, contain and remediate – over 8+ months on average. ThreatDown ITDR closes that gap at a lower total cost of ownership than standalone ITDR products.

ThreatDown ITDR Capabilities

ThreatDown ITDR monitors identity activity across hybrid environments—Active Directory, Entra ID, and Okta—and correlates it with endpoint telemetry to detect attacks that unfold after authentication.

Native EDR-ITDR correlation that links suspicious endpoint behavior to anomalous identity events in a single investigation timeline, replacing manual cross-referencing across disconnected tools.

Unified console and single agent deployment to manage endpoint, identity, and email security, improving response time and reducing costs.

Detect identity-based threats such as account compromise, privilege abuse, MFA fatigue, and persistence techniques.

Continuously assess identity posture and surface misconfigurations before they are exploited.

Investigate identity incidents with enriched context across identity providers and directory services.

Respond faster to suspicious activity affecting users, sessions, and access.

Ultimate MDR Plus Offering

ThreatDown is also announcing the Ultimate MDR Plus offering. Ultimate MDR Plus is ThreatDown's most comprehensive offering to date, a premium bundle that brings together the ITDR product, the enhanced MDR Plus service, and the recently uplifted Premium Support. All are available in a single SKU for customers who want full-stack protection plus the highest level of service and expertise ThreatDown offers.

Availability

ThreatDown ITDR is available now through our partners and managed service providers (MSPs). ITDR is included in the Ultimate MDR Plus bundle and is available as an add-on product to Advanced EDR and Elite MDR bundles. MSPs can add ITDR to their offerings à la carte. For Elite MDR and Ultimate MDR Plus customers, the ThreatDown managed services team leads identity detection and remediation 24/7, extending coverage without adding headcount.
