Guardz Unveils AI-Driven Identity Security for MSPs
Guardz has introduced its Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) solution, designed to help MSPs detect and mitigate identity-based cyber threats.
The ITDR tool leverages AI and behavioral analytics to identify anomalies in user behavior, such as unusual login patterns or privilege escalations, and automates responses like account suspension to prevent potential breaches.
This launch comes as identity-based attacks become increasingly prevalent. According to IBM's X-Force Threat Intelligence Index, such attacks accounted for 30 percent of total intrusions in 2024. Traditional security measures often fail to detect these threats, as attackers use legitimate credentials to access systems. The introduction of ITDR reflects a broader industry shift toward identity-focused security frameworks, emphasizing the need for real-time monitoring and automated response mechanisms to protect against sophisticated cyber threats.
Guardz's ITDR is integrated into its existing platform and is available across all service plans, with enhanced features for Ultimate Plan subscribers, including 24/7 monitoring by the Guardz Security Operations Center.
