Stop Business Email Compromise Before Attackers Take Over

Huntress is designed specifically for teams like yours. Our human-led, AI-assisted SOC acts as your dedicated extension, providing the necessary expertise and 24/7 coverage without the massive cost or complexity of building or scaling your own security team. We handle the hard parts—threat hunting, investigation, and response—and deliver concise, verified actions to your team. This model ensures you get enterprise-grade security outcomes without needing enterprise resources.

Speed is critical in BEC defense. Our SOC is investigates and responds to verified account takeovers in Microsoft 365 with an average mean-time-to-respond (MTTR) of under 3 minutes. This rapid, human-led intervention minimizes the attacker's window of opportunity to pivot to financial fraud or change critical settings. We don't just alert you; we start the containment process immediately to protect your business assets.

Yes, when done correctly. Our Security Awareness Training goes beyond generic training to effectively manage and reduce human risk. We equip your team to identify threats with content built on real-world BEC tradecraft observed by our own SOC and security experts. The training is highly engaging and built to reduce incidents caused by human risk. By combining advanced identity protection (ITDR) with targeted, up-to-date human training, we ensure that both your technology and your people are prepared to defend against the latest threats.

Huntress Managed ITDR is fundamentally different from email security solutions because it defends against identity-based attacks, not just email-borne ones.

Here’s how they differ:

1. Broader scope beyond email.

Email security tools focus on filtering spam, phishing, and malicious attachments. Huntress Managed ITDR continuously monitors the entire Microsoft 365 identity ecosystem—logins, OAuth applications, session tokens, and configuration changes—to catch threats that bypass the inbox entirely.

2. Detects threats after compromise.

Even if an attacker phishes a user and gains access, email tools often stop there. Managed ITDR detects and responds to the post-access activity—suspicious logins, rogue OAuth apps, unusual inbox rules, and lateral movement attempts—that indicate an active identity attack in progress.

3. Protects the cloud, not just communications.

Modern attacks don’t always arrive via email—they exploit trusted apps, credentials, and tokens. Managed ITDR closes that blind spot by detecting unwanted access across Microsoft 365 and Azure AD, including non-email vectors like SharePoint and Entra ID.

4. 100% managed detection and response.

Unlike standalone email gateways or filters, Managed ITDR combines automated detections with 24/7 human SOC investigation and response—disabling compromised accounts, removing rogue apps, and containing threats in real time.

Yes. Huntress is built to answer two big questions: “What happened?” and “Where are we still exposed?” When a BEC or account takeover occurs, Managed ITDR and the Huntress SOC provide: 

• A clear narrative of the incident—how the attacker got in, what they did (logins, inbox rules, OAuth grants, configuration changes), and how we contained it.

• Enough context to support your own compliance, legal, or customer‑facing reporting without forcing you to reverse‑engineer Microsoft 365 logs on your own.

Beyond single incidents, Huntress can surface identity posture and risk signals, including:

• Users without Microsoft MFA enabled or still relying on legacy, weaker authentication flows.

• Patterns of risky access (like repeated logins from low‑reputation IPs or geographies).

• Long‑lived or over‑privileged OAuth apps that could be abused in a BEC scenario.

And if you’re also using Huntress Managed SIEM, you get long‑term log retention and search capabilities so you can dig even deeper into identity activity over time without building a SIEM yourself.

Deployment is designed to be fast, repeatable, and low‑lift for your team. To get started, you need:

• A Microsoft 365 tenant with Exchange Online enabled.

• A Global Administrator account to complete the initial authorization flow.

• Audit logging turned on in Microsoft 365 (if it’s not, Huntress will attempt to enable it during onboarding).

• The ability to sign into the Huntress platform with an account that has permission to add Managed ITDR.

During onboarding, Huntress:

• Connects to your tenant and assigns only the roles needed to read audit/sign‑in data and perform specific auto-remediation actions (like revoking sessions, disabling identities, and managing malicious inbox rules).

• Begins pulling identity and audit logs within minutes—full backfill can take longer for older tenants, but you don’t need to stand up new infrastructure or deploy mail agents.

From there, our 24/7, AI‑assisted SOC continuously monitors your Microsoft 365 identities for account takeovers and BEC tradecraft so you don’t have to build your own identity security practice.

The short answer: we’re aggressive against real attackers and careful with your users. Managed ITDR is built to spot identity abuse based on behavior, not just any unusual IP. We look at patterns like location-based anomalies, data‑center/VPN abuse, malicious inbox rules, rogue OAuth apps, and other BEC tradecraft—not every employee who checks email from an airport lounge.

You don’t need an expensive Microsoft 365 SKU to get protected. Huntress Managed Identity Threat Detection & Response (Managed ITDR) connects directly to your Microsoft 365 / Entra ID tenant and ingests identity and audit logs to monitor for unwanted logins, session hijacking, credential theft, and malicious inbox rules. It’s designed to work across the common Business and Enterprise plans.

Put simply: if you’re already running Microsoft 365 with Exchange Online and can grant a Global Admin for onboarding, you can use Huntress BEC protection.
