Complete Identity Threat Detection Across Every Provider

Over 80% of breaches start with compromised identity. ZonForge Sentinel's ITDR platform detects these attacks in real time — across every identity provider, every cloud account, and every SaaS application your users authenticate to.

🪪

Okta & Entra ID Monitoring

Deep integration with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and Google Workspace Identity — detecting authentication anomalies, impossible travel, and suspicious access patterns. Every login event is analyzed against the user's behavioral baseline in real time, with sub-minute detection of credential compromise indicators.

🔐

Compromised Credential Detection

Continuously monitors authentication events for indicators of credential compromise: password spray attempts, OAuth token abuse, impossible login sequences, and MFA bypass patterns. ZonForge catches compromised credentials even when attackers use valid passwords by correlating behavioral signals that signature-based tools miss entirely.

📈

Behavioral Baselines Per User

ZonForge builds individual behavioral profiles for every user and service account — covering login locations, access times, device fingerprints, API usage patterns, and resource access scope. Deviations from these baselines trigger investigations that detect real threats while dramatically reducing false positives compared to rule-based approaches.

🔄

Lateral Movement Detection

Correlates identity events across cloud applications to trace attacker lateral movement paths — before privilege escalation reaches crown jewel assets. ZonForge maps attacker progression across Okta, AWS IAM, M365, and SaaS tools, building a complete kill chain visualization for analyst review.

🛡️

Privilege Escalation Alerts

Detects IAM permission changes, role assignments, and API key creation that indicate privilege escalation attempts — and auto-investigates in seconds. ZonForge alerts on unauthorized privilege escalation patterns including just-in-time access abuse, role chaining, and service account permission expansion.

Automated ITDR Response

Triggers automated playbooks on confirmed identity threats: account quarantine, MFA enforcement, session revocation, and SOC team notification with full investigation context. ZonForge's response automation executes containment actions in seconds — preventing attacker dwell time from extending into full breaches.

Identity Threat Detection in 4 Automated Steps

ZonForge Sentinel's ITDR workflow goes from identity provider connection to automated threat response — without requiring manual rule writing or analyst configuration.

1

Connect Identity Providers

Connect Okta, Entra ID, Google Identity, and JumpCloud via pre-built API integrations. Each integration captures authentication events, access logs, and configuration changes in real time — no agents or log forwarding infrastructure required.

2

Establish User Baselines

AI profiles each user's normal login patterns, geo-locations, access times, device fingerprints, and resource access scope. Baselines are continuously updated as user behavior evolves — ensuring detection accuracy over time without manual threshold tuning.

3

Detect Anomalies

Real-time detection of compromised credentials, privilege abuse, and lateral movement — triggered when behavior deviates from established baselines or matches known attack patterns. Every detection is automatically correlated across identity and cloud data sources for full context.

4

Investigate & Respond

AI investigation produces a complete incident report: affected user, compromised access scope, attacker actions timeline, and recommended containment steps. Optional automated response playbooks execute account quarantine and session revocation immediately on high-confidence detections.

Common Questions About Identity Threat Detection

Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) is a security discipline focused on detecting and responding to attacks that exploit compromised identities. Unlike traditional endpoint or network security, ITDR monitors authentication events, access patterns, and identity provider logs to detect credential compromise, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and insider threats. ZonForge Sentinel's ITDR platform automates this detection across all major identity providers — Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Identity, and JumpCloud.
ZonForge Sentinel supports 10+ identity providers including Okta, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), Google Workspace Identity, JumpCloud, OneLogin, Ping Identity, and AWS IAM Identity Center. ZonForge also monitors application-level identity signals from GitHub, Salesforce, and other SaaS tools where users authenticate directly.
ZonForge Sentinel detects compromised credentials through behavioral analysis rather than signature matching. The platform builds individual behavioral baselines for every user — including typical login locations, access times, device fingerprints, and API usage patterns. When authentication deviates from baseline (impossible travel, unusual access patterns, concurrent logins from different geolocations, or OAuth token abuse), ZonForge triggers an investigation within seconds — catching compromised credentials even when attackers use valid passwords.
Yes. ZonForge Sentinel's behavioral baseline approach is highly effective for insider threat detection. The platform monitors for access pattern deviations, unusual data access volumes, access outside normal working hours, permission escalation requests, and access to sensitive resources that fall outside a user's normal scope. When insider threat indicators accumulate, ZonForge correlates them into a risk score and escalates for investigation with a complete behavioral evidence trail.
Traditional IAM security focuses on access provisioning and enforcement — ensuring users have the right permissions. ITDR focuses on detecting threats within authorized access — catching attackers who are using stolen credentials legitimately or insiders abusing valid permissions. ITDR sits above IAM by analyzing behavior within the identity layer, not just enforcing access rules. ZonForge Sentinel combines ITDR with cloud security monitoring, giving you full visibility into what compromised identities actually do after authentication.
