Identity threat detection and investigation
The identity layer your stack is missing.
Your EDR covers the endpoint. Your NDR covers the network. Your CDR covers the cloud. But an identity attack isn't on a surface. It's a person, moving across systems, over time.
Identity threats are not on a single surface. EDR and cloud security are built around endpoint and infrastructure. SIEMs are log streams. Identity threats move across systems, over time. Icite is purpose built to detect them.
01 The gap
Three tools. Three blind spots.
One structural reason.
Sees the endpoint. Not who’s behind it.
EDR watches processes, files, and memory on a device. It can tell you malware ran. It cannot tell you the user who ran it was terminated in Workday yesterday.
Sees the traffic. Not the access surface.
NDR watches packets and flows between systems. It can flag anomalous lateral movement. It cannot tell you the account moving laterally just inherited admin rights through a nested group change.
Sees the cloud event. Not the identity context.
CDR monitors cloud control-plane activity. It can tell you someone exported a database. It cannot tell you the person doing it is a contractor whose access should have been revoked last quarter.
Aggregates the event stream. Still can't see who has access.
Your SIEM ties EDR, NDR, and CDR together, but it queries flat event streams. It can tell you an admin login happened at 3am. It cannot tell you the user became an admin yesterday, that their termination was filed in Workday, or that they own the Customer Master List shared drive. SIEMs lack the identity graph and configuration history to connect these threads. That's the gap Icite fills, and why the SIEM gets better when Icite feeds into it.
02 What Icite does
Two kinds of value. Day one.
We're not replacing your SIEM, EDR, NDR, or CDR. We're the surface they all miss. Identity. Icite feeds into your SIEM and makes every tool in your stack more useful the moment we connect.
Every alert you already have gets full identity context.
Connect your existing tools. Every alert gets enriched with who the person is, what they can access, how that changed, and what they've been doing across every connected system. No new workflow. No rip-and-replace. Day one.
Findings your current tools can't write.
Three detection layers running across one query surface that joins time-series events, configuration state, identity graph, and investigation history. Your EDR, NDR, and CDR can't write these detections because none of them model identity.

03 Tool comparison
Falcon and Defender stop at the directory.
Icite sees the whole estate.
CrowdStrike and Microsoft both anchor identity detection to the directory. Your people act across Okta, AWS, GitHub, Salesforce, and 100+ SaaS apps. Neither sees any of it.
cover the first two
across every surface
We find what they miss.
Attacks that never touch AD or Entra are invisible to both tools. Icite detects them on day one.
A fraction of the cost.
Agentless and read-only. No appliances, no per-module pricing, no professional services.
Keep your tools. Add the estate.

04 The architecture
Four data classes. Joined on one person.
Sarah Chen. Senior Solutions Engineer. Termination filed in Workday. Effective in four days. Here's what each data class says about her final week:
Terminated in Workday. Effective in four days. Still holds active sessions across five SaaS systems.
Still holds Salesforce "Export Reports," GitHub write to billing-service, ownership of the Customer Master List shared drive.
Her OU allows external sharing with no warning. No DLP rule on the Customer drive. The guardrails aren't there.
247 external shares in 7 days (3x her 90-day baseline), customer_export.py pulled from GitHub, a 4 GB Salesforce report export.
Any single signal is catchable somewhere. What no tool on earth catches is all four, joined, on one person, inside her final four days.
05 Under the hood
One query surface. Three data shapes.
No other vendor ships all three in a single platform purpose-built for identity.
Authentication events, access logs, API calls.
OCSF-normalized from every connected provider. Sub-second queries across billions of rows. Every login, every consent, every API call, chronological and queryable.
Group memberships, role assignments, policy definitions.
SCD Type 2 tables for every identity, group, app, and device. Every change tracked with valid_from/valid_to timestamps. "What changed since Tuesday?" is one query.
User-to-app, group-to-permission, identity graph.
Multi-hop traversals across humans, agents, groups, apps, devices, and permissions. Cross-provider canonical identity resolution. Blast radius is one traversal away.
