Grip Security Launches Identity Threat Detection and Response 2.0 — Transforming SecOps for the SaaS Era
Grip ITDR 2.0 lets SecOps teams outpace threats, shrink risk and respond with speed and precision
BOSTON, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Grip Security, the pioneer of identity-first security for the modern SaaS enterprise, today announced the launch of Identity Threat Detection and Response 2.0 (ITDR 2.0). The new innovation is purpose-built to help Security Operations (SecOps) teams prevent, detect and respond to identity threats in a SaaS-first world faster and more effectively than ever before.
SaaS has broken cybersecurity
What used to be a centralized, controlled IT environment is now an ungoverned galaxy of apps, identities and data flows. Every company today runs on SaaS whether they planned to or not. Most have two to three times more SaaS in use than they even realize. Sensitive data is scattered across both sanctioned and unsanctioned apps. Former employees often retain access. API-driven integrations multiply and the number of apps continues to grow daily. As a result, the corporate attack surface has become massive, invisible and unmanageable with traditional tools.
“Not only did we aggregate data and make existing information easier to interpret, we completely reimagined what SaaS security needs to be,” said Lior Yaari, CEO and Co-founder at Grip Security. “Grip ITDR 2.0 introduces entirely new indicators of risk and signals never before harnessed by SecOps, combining them into a prevention plus detection and response product that gives teams unprecedented visibility, control and the ability to secure SaaS environments at enterprise scale.”
Prevention as a force multiplier for SecOps
Most identity solutions focus solely on detection and response after an attack has already started. Grip ITDR 2.0 changes the game by embedding prevention directly into the security workflow. By proactively identifying weak credentials, stale accounts, risky OAuth grants and misconfigurations, Grip reduces the number of incidents that ever require a response.
The benefits of prevention are exponential:
- Fewer security incidents to investigate
- Simpler, faster fixes compared to post-breach cleanup
- Avoidance of regulatory fines and reputational damage
- Reduced analyst workload and burnout
- A more resilient, agile business ready to innovate without fear
In short, stopping identity threats before they escalate isn’t just cost-effective, it’s transformative.
Grip Security ITDR 2.0
Traditional ITDR tools fall short because they were designed for an era where networks and endpoints were the perimeter, apps were countable and IT held the keys. These tools focus narrowly on identity systems like IdPs, uncover only rudimentary indicators of risk and deliver reactive signals, often centered on login anomalies.
Grip ITDR 2.0 breaks that mold by delivering unprecedented visibility and control across the full SaaS risk landscape and enables SecOps teams to move beyond firefighting and toward proactive, prevention-driven security operations.
Grip ITDR 2.0 offers a powerful suite of capabilities, including:
- Identity attack surface management and security posture improvement
- Continuous monitoring and adaptive detection tuning
- Real-time threat detection across all SaaS (including shadow and unmanaged apps)
- Detection of malicious OAuth grants and high-risk browser extensions
- Blast radius visualization and investigation panel
- One-click and automated response actions
By unifying identity signals across the SaaS ecosystem, Grip gives SecOps teams the tools they need to act with speed, precision and confidence. Furthermore, the product has capabilities that go far beyond traditional ITDR tools.
