Integrated identity protection
What is identity threat
detection and response?
Wizard Cyber’s ITDR service is built to safeguard Microsoft Entra ID and Azure Active Directory environments from identity-based threats.
Our ITDR service integrates with Microsoft Sentinel, allowing organisations to detect and investigate attacks on privileged access, compromised credentials and unauthorised activity in real time.
With modern threats like password spraying, brute-force attacks and privilege escalation on the rise, traditional identity management tools alone are no longer sufficient. Our ITDR solution complements existing identity and access management systems by adding a layer of real-time monitoring and advanced behavioural detection, so attackers cannot exploit identity vulnerabilities unnoticed.
Key capabilities of our ITDR service
Real-time monitoring across Entra ID and Azure AD
Continuously monitor user logins, access requests and privilege changes across Microsoft’s identity platforms. Identify anomalous behaviour, such as repeated login attempts from unusual locations or access to high-risk resources outside normal business hours.
Behavioural anomaly detection and AI-powered insights
Detect unusual user behaviour through machine learning models trained on past activity. Whether it is lateral movement within your network or privilege misuse, our ITDR service correlates identity events to uncover threats that bypass traditional security measures.
Integration with Microsoft Sentinel
Our ITDR service connects directly with Microsoft Sentinel’s SIEM capabilities, so identity-based alerts are enriched with contextual threat intelligence. This enables quick prioritisation within your existing security environment.

threat detection and response
Detect and prevent identity-based threats with ITDR features designed to secure your Microsoft environment.
Privileged access monitoring and protection
Track and protect privileged accounts — an attacker’s favourite target — by monitoring their activity in real time, and detect unusual privilege escalations as they happen.
Continuous monitoring across Microsoft Entra ID and Azure AD
Real-time visibility into user activity, access requests and privilege escalations. Our ITDR service monitors both internal and external identities to detect potential threats before they can compromise critical assets.
Integration with Microsoft Sentinel
Our ITDR solution feeds enriched identity-based alerts into Microsoft Sentinel, so SOC teams can prioritise high-risk events. Integration with existing SIEM and SOAR workflows supports investigation and remediation.
Threat intelligence enrichment for identity attacks
Global threat intelligence feeds correlate identity-related anomalies with known attack patterns, giving early detection of common tactics like phishing, credential stuffing and brute-force attacks.
Protecting your organisation from identity-based attacks requires more than traditional security tools. Modern threats like compromised credentials, lateral movement and privilege misuse need solutions that work in real time. Wizard Cyber’s ITDR service gives you visibility into your identity ecosystem across Microsoft Entra ID, Azure AD and your wider infrastructure.
Our integration with Microsoft Sentinel means identity-related threats are prioritised and handled efficiently, with alerts enriched by contextual threat intelligence. Whether it is detecting unusual login behaviour or monitoring privileged access, our ITDR service keeps you a step ahead of attackers.

Robust identity protection requires coverage across a wide range of adversary tactics and techniques. Wizard Cyber’s ITDR service maps its detection coverage directly to the MITRE ATT&CK framework for both Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) and Active Directory.
These frameworks matter for defending against common techniques such as credential dumping, lateral movement, privilege escalation and persistent backdoors. Through our integration with Microsoft Sentinel and SOC operations, we detect and prioritise threats mapped to key MITRE techniques in real time.
Seamless identity protection
Maximising Microsoft security
Maximising Microsoft security
with ITDR
Enhancing identity security across the Microsoft ecosystem.
Identity-based attacks have become a primary target for cyber criminals, and traditional security measures are no longer enough against credential theft, privilege escalation and unauthorised access. That is why integrating ITDR into the Microsoft security stack matters.
At Wizard Cyber we use Microsoft Sentinel, Defender for Identity and Entra ID to deliver an intelligence-driven ITDR service that improves visibility and detection of identity-based threats across cloud and on-premises environments. It works natively within Microsoft’s security ecosystem, so organisations get more from the investment they already have.
Complete SIEM visibility
ITDR + Microsoft Sentinel
Microsoft Sentinel is a cloud-native SIEM and SOAR platform that collects, correlates and analyses security data at scale. With ITDR, organisations gain visibility into identity-related threats across their whole estate.
- Centralised identity event correlationITDR feeds identity-based attack signals directly into Sentinel, so security teams can correlate suspicious activity across endpoints, cloud applications and network traffic.
- Proactive threat huntingAnalysts use Sentinel’s analytics to investigate identity anomalies, detect lateral movement and mitigate emerging threats faster.
Real-time threat detection
ITDR + Defender for Identity
Microsoft Defender for Identity detects identity-based threats within hybrid and on-premises Active Directory environments. ITDR adds deeper visibility and advanced analytics on top of it.
- Early detection of privilege escalation and lateral movementITDR monitors privileged accounts and identifies unauthorised privilege elevation attempts, so a potential breach is seen before it escalates.
- Behavioural anomaly detectionAnalytics identify deviations from normal user behaviour, such as impossible-travel logins, repeated failed authentication attempts or privilege abuse.
- Threat intelligence correlationITDR enriches Defender for Identity alerts with real-world threat intelligence, reducing false positives so high-priority incidents get attention first.
Stronger identity protection
ITDR + Entra ID
Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) is the foundation of identity and access management in Microsoft environments. Integrating ITDR with it strengthens a Zero Trust model.
- Continuous identity monitoringITDR tracks identity-based activity within Entra ID, detecting signs of compromised credentials, account takeovers and suspicious login patterns.
- Cloud identity threat detectionITDR detects abnormal logins from unauthorised devices, high-risk geolocations or compromised IP addresses.
Questions
ITDR and Microsoft security, answered.
How does ITDR enhance Microsoft Sentinel’s threat detection?
ITDR integrates with Microsoft Sentinel by feeding identity-related threat signals directly into the SIEM platform. Sentinel can then correlate suspicious activity across multiple data sources, including user accounts, privileged access and cloud applications, and prioritise high-risk identity threats.
How does ITDR complement Microsoft Defender for Identity?
Defender for Identity detects identity-based threats within Active Directory and hybrid environments. ITDR expands on that with deeper behavioural analytics, continuously monitoring privileged access misuse, credential theft and lateral movement attempts, and enriching Defender for Identity alerts with contextual intelligence. Security teams see fewer false positives and can respond to legitimate threats more effectively.
Can ITDR detect account takeovers and credential theft in Microsoft Entra ID?
Yes. ITDR provides real-time monitoring of user identities, authentication attempts and privilege escalations in Microsoft Entra ID, and detects suspicious activity such as logins from unauthorised devices, impossible-travel scenarios and brute-force attacks.
How does ITDR support a Zero Trust security model?
ITDR aligns with Zero Trust principles by continuously validating identity behaviour and detecting unauthorised access attempts. Integrated with Microsoft Sentinel, Defender for Identity and Entra ID, it flags any deviation from normal behaviour instantly, which reduces exposure to both insider and external attacks.
Can ITDR protect both cloud and on-premises Active Directory?
Yes. ITDR covers hybrid identity environments, securing both Microsoft Entra ID in the cloud and traditional on-premises Active Directory. It monitors identity-based attack patterns such as Kerberoasting and Pass-the-Hash, abnormal access requests against cloud and on-premises resources, and lateral movement or privilege escalation across hybrid estates.
