Protecting Identities

Join us to unpack the complexities of modern identity proofing—where establishing the legitimacy of users must be risk-appropriate and adaptive to today’s threat landscape.

At the core of the challenge is trust: organizations must balance security with usability while accounting for evolving risks like credential compromise and AI-driven threats. Protecting critical systems and users requires a defense-in-depth approach, with assurance levels scaled to the sensitivity of the asset. Too little security leaves high-value targets exposed; too much can hinder productivity and drive users toward insecure workarounds.

Validate identities with the right level of assurance for the risk
Balance strong security with a smooth user experience
Defend against threats like compromised credentials and AI-generated attacks
Apply deeper protection to higher-risk users and systems
Establish trust without disrupting workflows

Learn how to implement smarter, risk-aligned identity proofing strategies that reinforce trust without sacrificing efficiency.

Insider Threats Are the Breach You Don’t See Coming
According to the 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, nearly 60% of breaches originate from insider threats—often undetected until it’s too late.

OpenText™ Core Threat Detection and Response (TDR) is purpose-built to detect and disrupt insider threats, advanced persistent threats, and novel attack patterns before they escalate into costly incidents.

Join this exclusive event to discover how OpenText™ Core TDR is helping various industries with:

Behavior-Driven Detection: Leverages real user behavior and adaptive baselines to isolate meaningful anomalies, minimizing noise and allowing your SOC to focus on the highest-impact threats.

Native Microsoft Integration: Works seamlessly with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Entra ID, turning telemetry into actionable intelligence and extending the value of your existing security tools.

Adaptive Learning at Scale: Continuously refines its detection capabilities using machine learning trained on your environment—improving accuracy and reducing false positives over time.

Composable and Fast to Deploy: Easily integrates with your existing stack. The built-in Cybersecurity Aviator translates AI-driven detections into plain language, helping analysts act faster.

What You Gain

Early detection of insider threats through behavioral analytics
Enhanced visibility across user and entity activity
Higher signal-to-noise ratio with fewer false positives
Accelerated investigations with context-rich, prioritized alerts
Reduced dwell time and minimized cost exposure

Don’t miss this opportunity to see how OpenText TDR intercepts threats before they become breaches.
