Firewalls24.de adds Sophos ITDR to its portfolio: Add-on for MDR and XDR with focus on identity protection

The IT security specialist Firewalls24 is expanding its range with Sophos ITDR, a new add-on to the proven Sophos MDR and Sophos XDR solutions. The module supplements the existing detection & response functions with targeted measures to detect and defend against identity attacks - one of the biggest gateways to modern cyber threats.

Identity Threat Detection & Response in focus

With Sophos ITDR, Sophos is introducing an extension that addresses identities as a central security component. The solution detects compromised accounts, unauthorized login attempts and misconfigurations in Microsoft Entra ID before major security incidents occur. ITDR analyzes logon activities, access rights and behavior patterns in the network to identify suspicious processes at an early stage - closing a gap that has left many companies unprotected to date.

Through deep integration with Sophos Central, ITDR provides additional telemetry data for MDR and XDR analysis. This gives IT teams and Managed Detection & Response services greater insight into potential attacks resulting from stolen credentials or incorrect authentication.

Key features of Sophos ITDR

Sophos ITDR extends existing Sophos Detection & Response solutions with targeted protection against identity-based attacks - an area that Sophos research shows is responsible for up to 95% of all security incidents. The add-on continuously monitors Microsoft Entra ID environments, detects misconfigurations and uncovers risks that attackers could use to escalate privileges or gain unauthorized access.

The most important functions at a glance:

* Continuous identity risk analysis: scans Entra ID structures in real time and detects misconfigurations, orphaned or over-privileged accounts and risky applications.
* Darknet monitoring for compromised credentials: Automatically scans data leaks and marketplaces on the darknet for stolen credentials and correlates finds with active user accounts.
* Behavioral analysis and anomaly detection: Monitors login patterns, unusual IPs or suspicious country access and thus detects abusive activities at an early stage.
* Responds to threats: Automatically locks compromised accounts, forces password resets and terminates active sessions.
* Seamless integration with Sophos MDR and XDR: All detected incidents can be automatically transferred to Sophos MDR as cases or analyzed internally in XDR - including prioritization and recommended actions for administrators.

In combination with Sophos MDR or XDR, this creates a 360? view of identities, access and threats that significantly complements traditional endpoint or network monitoring.

More transparency for IT teams

Sophos ITDR extends visibility within the security platform by correlating threats at identity level with activities from endpoints, servers and firewalls. This facilitates root cause analysis and significantly accelerates incident response.

"The integration of ITDR into the Sophos Central platform is an important step in addressing identities as a critical security component. Many attacks today start with compromised credentials - this add-on helps to close precisely this vulnerability," explains Roman Jacobi, Managing Director of Aphos GmbH, operator of Firewalls24.de.

Availability and target group

The new add-on is aimed at companies, authorities and organizations that want to add an additional layer of protection to their existing MDR or XDR environment. Sophos ITDR is now available in the Firewalls24.de online store.
