Cyberattacks are getting nastier by the day, and they’re often targeting businesses without massive security teams or endless resources. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. But don’t worry, we’ve got you.
How? By launching a new collaboration with Microsoft.
This will now make it easier for businesses like yours to get the most out of your Microsoft security investments and stay ahead of modern threats.
At Huntress, we believe this collab is an absolute must. That’s because not everyone is making the most of the security tools included with their Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E3, and E5 licenses. It often comes down to teams being overburdened, stretched too thin, or lacking the deep expertise needed to manage these tools effectively.
This is where Huntress comes in. Our products integrate with Microsoft Security to give you robust protection for your endpoints, identities, and employees. We’re here to help you get the most out of what you’re already paying for.
When you add Huntress to Microsoft Security, you can boost your security and get more reliable outcomes. We bring a comprehensive suite of tools, including Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Managed Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), Managed Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), and Managed Security Awareness Training (SAT). Our elite threat hunters and 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) become an extension of your team to monitor, hunt, and act around the clock when threats strike.
Chris Bisnett, CTO at Huntress, captures it perfectly: “Businesses worldwide trust Microsoft’s ecosystem, but often don’t fully use its potential due to limited resources or expertise. We deliver the technology and integrations needed to unlock the full value of Microsoft’s security solutions, empowering businesses of all sizes to operate securely and confidently in an evolving threat landscape.”
Steve Dispensa, Corporate Vice President of Security, Microsoft agrees: “With cyberattacks growing in both volume and complexity, businesses face mounting pressure to protect their environments with limited resources. Huntress’ integrations with Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint empower organizations to not only strengthen their security posture but also fully benefit from their Microsoft security investments. Together, we’re equipping businesses worldwide to prioritize growth and innovation without compromising on security.”
Through this collaboration, Huntress will let you:
Huntress elevates Microsoft Defender, whether using Antivirus or Endpoint, by providing expert 24/7 threat hunting and response. When Huntress Managed EDR pairs with Microsoft Defender Antivirus, Huntress handles configuration, continuous monitoring, and rapid threat response, allowing businesses to replace other antivirus tools for no extra cost. This approach optimizes Microsoft Defender settings, offers customizable configurations, and provides a unified view of all endpoints and reporting.
Managed EDR also integrates with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Business, and Endpoint for macOS to improve threat monitoring, detection, and response. When paired with Managed EDR, Microsoft Defender can enhance protections and increase ROI for all businesses.
And the people have spoken. Here are a few testimonials from real users on G2, the world’s leading business software review platform:
“We've used Huntress for a couple of years now. Initially as a sort-of backup ’insurance policy’ in case anything got past our existing Webroot AV, but now we've ditched Webroot altogether and use Defender + Huntress EDR as a more cost-effective and better performing package.”
- Steve B.
“Easy to deploy, leverages Windows Defender so we get simplicity, extra feature set and management for the same overall cost as comparable antivirus.”
- Verified user, IT professional
Huntress doesn’t just stop at the endpoint. We tackle identity-based threats in Microsoft 365 environments. Huntress uses Microsoft's signals to proactively hunt and address identity threats in real time, adding a crucial layer of protection.
As a recent G2 customer review put it, “We love Huntress Managed ITDR for a multitude of reasons. Huntress analyzes issues quicker than anyone else we've used, which is saying something because there are a lot of great [Microsoft 365] threat detection tools on the market. Huntress is just quicker and that's what really matters in this world."
Huntress Managed ITDR integrates with Microsoft Entra and Microsoft 365 to assign identity risk, detect modern identity threats, and offer 24/7 identity monitoring to reduce alert fatigue. Every alert Huntress sends is human-validated, actionable, and designed to counteract unwanted logins, session hijacking, credential theft, and rogue inbox rules.
Deployment is nearly instant. As one user put it, “[Huntress] ITDR is incredibly easy to set up and integrate to [Microsoft] 365 and just requires linking the 365 admin account. We check the portal every day to make sure no new incidents have come through. Any suspicious activity like VPN usage and login locations are flagged. We have had a few more come through that it has detected like rogue Entra applications and the use of a common (PaaS) phishing as a service browser called Axios. All of these were swiftly dealt with and purged thanks to Huntress’ detections.”
Huntress is making cybersecurity even easier, smarter, and most importantly, stronger. Take your next steps to see how we can help your business stay more resilient.
