IBM Consulting Expands Microsoft Security Collaboration for Identity Threat Protection
IBM Consulting has expanded its collaboration with Microsoft to provide additional services focused on identity threat detection and remediation. The offering builds on Microsoft’s security technologies and is intended to help organizations identify compromised accounts, monitor identity-related risks and respond more effectively to attacks targeting users, credentials and access privileges. The collaboration aims to use Microsoft to detect and enable enforcement while IBM takes operational responsibility for governed identity threat remediation.
Built on Microsoft Sentinel’s immutable logging and long-term retention, IBM ITDR adds policy-driven remediation workflows, business-context case management and compliance-ready reporting. The Sentinel data lake serves as the central data foundation for ITDR, enhancing the foundation with unified identity correlation, real-time and historical analysis and identity-focused AI models.
IBM ITDR operationalizes Microsoft signals across key identity threat scenarios including compromised executive accounts, lateral movements for service accounts, insider risk and data exfiltration, MFA fatigue, token theft and coordinated identity attack campaigns.
According to IBM, the expanded services integrate identity security monitoring with incident response and remediation processes, helping enterprises address threats that increasingly target identity systems rather than traditional network perimeters. The initiative is designed to support organizations operating across cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments.
