IDENTITY-BASED ATTACK DETECTION AND CONTAINMENT

Stop identity-driven attacks early

Detect compromised accounts and misuse before damage occurs.

CHALLENGE

Attackers don’t hack in, they log in

Attackers exploit valid accounts to bypass traditional defenses.
APPROACH

Detect identity behavior in context

Vectra AI analyzes how identities act across the network and cloud.

Behavioral identity analysis

Continuously evaluate how users and service accounts
access systems, escalate privileges, and communicate
across environments.

Correlate identity and network activity

Correlate human and non-human identity activities across network and cloud to uncover misuse hidden behind valid credentials.

Detect persistence before impact

Identify abnormal access patterns, privilege abuse, and stealthy persistence techniques early in the attack lifecycle.

Expose insider and SaaS risk

Reveal suspicious staging, exfiltration behavior, and configuration weaknesses across Microsoft 365 and cloud environments.

THE VECTRA AI PLATFORM

See how identity-based attack detection and response works on the Vectra AI Platform

Reduce exposure, stop attacks, and continuously strengthen posture.

Observability

Vectra AI discovers and tracks human and non-human identities across the hybrid network, revealing weak, stale, or over-privileged accounts attackers often exploit.

Threat detection, investigation, and response

Vectra AI’s behavioral AI detects credential misuse, privilege escalation, and identity-driven attacks across the cyber kill chain before they escalate.

Threat exposure & posture improvement

Security teams strengthen identity security by identifying risky access paths, improving identity hygiene, and validating that controls are working effectively.

Reduce identity risk and dwell time

Contain compromised accounts before business impact occurs.

Earlier compromise detection

Earlier compromise detection

Identify stolen credentials, privilege misuse, and abnormal behavior before lateral movement or data loss occurs.

Fewer false positive investigations

Fewer false positive investigations

Reduce alert fatigue by distinguishing legitimate access from malicious identity misuse using behavioral context.

Stronger cloud and SaaS protection

Stronger cloud and SaaS protection

Improve visibility into Microsoft 365, Azure AD, and cloud identity risks beyond native security controls.

Limit blast radius

Limit blast radius

Detect and intervene in identity-based attacks early, reducing dwell time and preventing downstream escalation.
