Attackers aren’t hacking in — they’re logging in.
That’s the uncomfortable truth facing security teams today. Whether it’s human credentials, service principles, cloud principles or machine credentials, identity has become the fastest-growing attack surface in the modern enterprise. As hybrid environments grow more complex, so do the threats. Identity-driven attacks now span on-prem, cloud, SaaS, and even AI-powered collaboration tools such as Copilot for Microsoft 365.
This is why Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) has emerged as one of the most vital categories in cybersecurity. It’s also why I’m proud to share that GigaOm named Vectra AI both a Leader and an Outperformer in the 2025 Radar Report for Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR).
This recognition tell a clear story: Vectra AI is leading the identity security revolution — and we’re doing it with proven results.
We Don’t Just Detect Identity Threats — We Stop Them Cold
The Vectra AI Platform is purpose-built to catch and contain identity-driven attacks before they become breaches. That means going beyond prevention and anomaly detection to deliver behavioral analysis, urgency-based threat prioritization, and automated response.
According to GigaOm, Vectra AI stands out for:
- Full-spectrum coverage of human and non-human identities across hybrid cloud, network, SaaS, and GenAI — detecting post compromise attacks to stop breaches early in the kill chain
- Signal Clarity, surfacing only urgent threats by correlating identity signals across domains and prioritising attacks using urgency scores based on attack severity and privilege context
- Automated threat containment capabilities, including lockout of compromised identities and hosts, and integrations with EDR, SIEM, SOAR and ITSM to isolate high risk attacks.
- Proactive Posture which provides posture visibility, helping you identify security gaps before attackers do.
Why We Outperform? The AI Difference
GigaOm’s evaluation makes one thing clear — Vectra AI outperforms thanks to our deep investment in AI-powered automation and intelligence. While others are just beginning to infuse AI into their platforms, we’ve been using AI to detect real-world attacks for over a decade.
Here’s how our AI works across the attack lifecycle:
- AI Detections expose modern attacker behaviors across network, identity, cloud, and SaaS environments using the most effective AI/ ML models for each scenario.
- AI Triage Agent automatically triages benign events, reducing alert noise and saving analyst time.
- AI Stitching Agent stitches together activities across domains to identify the original compromised device or account.
- AI Prioritisation Agent ranks threats by combining severity with contextual asset importance.
- AI-enabled investigation delivers rich threat context to support analyst to make critical decisions confidently.
According to IBM, 40% of breaches involve multiple attack surfaces. Identity is the bridge between these attack surfaces. Attackers don’t stay in one environment — so neither do we. The Vectra AI Platform detects, triages, stitches, prioritises attacker behaviors across Active Directory, Entra ID, Azure, Microsoft 365 (including Copilot), AWS, and your network — so security teams can see the full kill chain in one view with rich context and stop attacks quickly.
The Numbers Don’t Lie: Proven Results from IDC
Thanks to our unique AI-driven approach to stopping identity-based attacks, customers are not only identifying attacks faster — they’re also responding with greater efficiency and confidence.
According to IDC’s Business Value of Vectra AI report, organizations using our platform are achieving these outcomes:
- 52% more potential threats identified
- 40% more efficient SOC teams
- 51% less time spent monitoring and triaging alerts
- 60% less time spent assessing and prioritizing alerts
- 50% reduction in time spent investigating
- 391% ROI over three years, with a 6-month payback period
That’s the power of automated detection, investigation, and response — purpose-built for the modern identity-driven attack era.
Built for the Teams Who Defend What Matters Most
Security teams are tired of drowning in alerts, juggling disconnected tools, and reacting too late. The Vectra AI Platform is designed to do things differently — with out-of-the-box AI models, seamless integrations, flexible deployment and complete visibility to help teams detect and stop identity-driven attacks across the modern network before damage is done.
Need proof? A Fortune 500 financial services company used Vectra AI to stop two identity-based breaches in just six months — securing their sprawling Microsoft environment against lateral movement and privilege escalation and freeing up their security team to focus on what matters.
“With Vectra AI, we get the integrated, aggregated threat signal we need to effectively defend our Microsoft environment. It also centralizes the analysis and correlation of those signals, saving us time and effort.” — CISO, Fortune 500 Financial Services Company
