Threat actors are also hijacking non-human identities, including service accounts and OAuth authorizations, and riding them deep into SaaS applications.

When threat actors get through the initial defenses, having a robust Identity Threat Detection and Response system in place as an integral part of Identity Security can prevent massive breaches.

It monitors events from across the SaaS stack, and uses login information, device data, and user behavior to identify behavioral anomalies that indicate a threat.

The ITDR engines detected the anomalous actions, and the account data was corrected before any funds were transferred to the threat actors.
