Detect Identity Threats
in Your WiFi Network
Credential attacks, impossible travel, MAC spoofing, rogue devices — detected in real time from the authentication telemetry you already have. MITRE ATT&CK mapped. Zero agents to deploy.
IronWiFi ITDR transforms existing WiFi authentication logs into a security intelligence platform. Four detection engines analyze RADIUS telemetry to identify credential attacks, behavioral anomalies, certificate threats, and device spoofing across your network — all mapped to MITRE ATT&CK techniques with per-identity risk scoring from 0 to 100.
What Is WiFi ITDR?
Identity security for the wireless authentication layer
ITDR (Identity Threat Detection and Response) is a security category defined by Gartner that focuses on detecting threats targeting identity infrastructure. Most ITDR platforms monitor Active Directory, cloud IAM, or SSO providers.
IronWiFi applies ITDR to a blind spot: WiFi network authentication. Every time a user or device connects to your wireless network, RADIUS authentication produces rich telemetry — who, when, where, how, and what device. Most organizations discard this data.
WiFi ITDR transforms that telemetry into continuous threat detection. Four specialized engines build behavioral baselines per identity and analyze every authentication event for credential attacks, behavioral anomalies, certificate misuse, and device spoofing.
Every detection is automatically mapped to MITRE ATT&CK techniques, risk-scored, and correlated into incidents — giving your security team actionable intelligence from infrastructure you already have.
Identity-Layer Detection
Operates at the authentication layer — sees threats that network-level tools miss entirely.
Per-Identity Baselines
Learns normal behavior for every identity: hours, APs, devices, EAP methods, locations.
Risk Scoring (0–100)
Composite risk score per identity based on detection severity, frequency, and recency.
MITRE ATT&CK Mapped
Every detection linked to the relevant technique for SOC workflows and compliance.
Four Detection Engines, 16+ Threat Types
Every RADIUS authentication event passes through four specialized engines running in parallel
Credential Attack Engine
Sliding-window counters detect volumetric attacks targeting authentication credentials in real time.
Identity Anomaly Engine
Behavioral baselines built per identity detect deviations from normal authentication patterns.
Certificate Threat Engine
Validates certificate chains and detects misuse of PKI infrastructure for network access.
Device Threat Engine
Cross-references MAC addresses, device fingerprints, and session data to detect device-level threats.
How Does WiFi ITDR Work?
From silent RADIUS telemetry to actionable threat intelligence in four steps
The Detection Pipeline
Every authentication event flows through a purpose-built pipeline that turns raw RADIUS data into security intelligence — automatically and in real time.
Connect RADIUS
Point your access points to IronWiFi RADIUS. Authentication telemetry flows automatically — no agents, no sensors, no network taps.
Baselines Learn
Behavioral baselines build per identity within 7–14 days: typical hours, access points, devices, authentication methods, and locations.
Engines Analyze
Every authentication event passes through four detection engines in parallel. Each engine scores threats and maps them to MITRE ATT&CK techniques.
Threats Surfaced
Detections are risk-scored, correlated into incidents, and surfaced in your dashboard with full identity context and response playbooks.
Why This Architecture Matters
Zero Infrastructure
No agents, sensors, or network taps. Works from RADIUS telemetry your APs already produce.
Real-Time Detection
Sub-30-second mean time to detect. Threats caught during the authentication event, not hours later.
Defense in Depth
Four engines with different detection strategies ensure threats can't slip through a single blind spot.
Full Audit Trail
Every detection and incident logged with timestamps, identity context, and MITRE technique IDs.
MITRE ATT&CK Technique Coverage
Every detection mapped to the framework your SOC already speaks

WiFi ITDR vs. Traditional Security Approaches
How identity-layer detection compares to what you may be using today
Your WiFi Already Sees Everything
Every authentication event records who, when, where, how, and what device. Most organizations discard this telemetry. IronWiFi ITDR transforms it into continuous threat detection — with zero additional infrastructure.
Complete Threat Lifecycle Management
From detection to response — manage the full identity threat lifecycle from a single console.

WiFi ITDR: Frequently Asked Questions
What security teams want to know before deploying
What is WiFi ITDR?
WiFi ITDR (Identity Threat Detection and Response) applies identity security principles to wireless network authentication. It analyzes RADIUS telemetry to detect credential attacks, behavioral anomalies, certificate threats, and device spoofing — all mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
How is WiFi ITDR different from NAC or NDR?
NAC makes binary allow/deny decisions at connection time. NDR monitors network traffic patterns. WiFi ITDR operates at the identity layer — analyzing who is authenticating, how their behavior compares to their baseline, and whether credentials or devices show signs of compromise. It catches threats that NAC and NDR miss.
Do I need to install agents or sensors?
No. WiFi ITDR works entirely from RADIUS authentication telemetry that your access points already generate. No agents on endpoints, no sensors to deploy, no network taps. If your WiFi uses RADIUS, ITDR works immediately.
What access point vendors are supported?
Any RADIUS-capable access point works. This includes Cisco, Aruba, Meraki, Ruckus, Ubiquiti, Fortinet, MikroTik, TP-Link, Cambium, Juniper Mist, and 35+ other brands.
How does MITRE ATT&CK mapping work?
Every detection is automatically mapped to the relevant MITRE ATT&CK technique (e.g., T1110 for brute force, T1078 for valid accounts abuse). This gives security teams a common language for threat classification and helps with SOC workflows and compliance.
Can ITDR integrate with my SIEM?
Yes. Detections and incidents export via syslog/CEF or webhooks to Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic, QRadar, or any SIEM. Each event includes MITRE technique IDs, severity scores, and full identity context.
How long until baselines are established?
Behavioral baselines build within 7–14 days of activation. Known-bad patterns (brute force, credential stuffing, MAC spoofing) are detected immediately from day one — no baseline required for attack signatures.
Is WiFi ITDR available on all plans?
WiFi ITDR is available on the Enterprise plan. It builds on IronWiFi's cloud RADIUS platform, so no additional infrastructure is needed. See pricing or talk to our security team.
Stop Identity Threats at the WiFi Layer
Your RADIUS infrastructure already captures every authentication event. Turn it into a security asset. Detect credential attacks, behavioral anomalies, and device threats — automatically, in real time, with zero agents.
