The state of ITDR: adoption, maturity and effectiveness

84% of organisations with an ITDR programme report measurable benefits – even before full implementation.

As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, your identity infrastructure – particularly Active Directory (AD) and Entra ID – is now a top target. Yet, many organisations lack the tools, insight or executive buy-in to protect these critical systems effectively. That’s where Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) steps in.

In this industry-leading study of 373 professionals, discover how IT teams are adopting ITDR, what’s working, and where gaps remain.

• 99% of daily Entra ID attacks involve credential misuse

• Only 50% of organisations use an identity infrastructure security tool

• Nearly 1 in 3 never test their disaster recovery plan

• 64% rate their ITDR maturity as high – but only 23% have automation and full coverage

• 42% fail to identify or monitor their Tier Zero assets

The risks are real, but so are the results. Even partial ITDR adoption is proving to boost security outcomes.
