Microsoft solutions already go far. Huntress makes them go further.
Microsoft environments have more security depth than most teams have had the time or support to fully unlock. Huntress is built to help organizations run Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security at full power, with tradecraft-focused detection and a 24/7 SOC that strengthens protection without adding more work for teams.
A partner purpose-built to work with Microsoft Security
Huntress is a Microsoft-verified SMB Solution and a proud member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA).
This is a clear reflection of our partnership. Microsoft wants customers to get more from what they’ve built, and Huntress makes that happen.
Microsoft doesn’t build what Huntress builds, and Huntress doesn’t build what Microsoft builds. That’s why the two are designed to work together, unlocking more value from Microsoft environments while giving teams a round-the-clock SOC that can drive response and remediation through to the finish.
Microsoft and Huntress can improve your workflow, no matter who you are
Microsoft solutions come with a lot built in, but many teams don’t have the extra time or resources needed to unlock the full power on their own. That’s where Huntress fits. Built to work alongside Microsoft, Huntress gives MSPs, resellers, and in-house IT teams the operational layer needed to turn Microsoft security signals into action without bolting on a disconnected stack or adding headcount.
Internal IT
Get security coverage that runs without requiring more from a team that's already doing everything else.
Huntress serves as the force multiplier for internal IT, transforming Microsoft Security into an active, SOChuman-led defense that reduces response times and clarifies security postures.
MSPs
Run better security across client environments without scaling up your internal security headcount.
Huntress helps reduce tool sprawl, adds 24/7 SOC coverage, and makes it easier to support Microsoft-based environments at scale.
Resellers
Bridge the gap between owning powerful tools and operating the defense.
Huntress doesn't replace customers’ Microsoft stack, but operationalizes it, allowing them to realize the vision of a consolidated stack.
Why teams add Huntress to Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Security
Microsoft provides strong security signals across endpoints and identities. Huntress builds on those signals by layering in tradecraft-focused telemetry and actively hunting for persistent footholds. We also lay “traps” like ransomware canaries to help surface threats before damage can spread. Plus, our 24/7 AI-centric, human-led SOC investigates, responds, and remediates threats with speed and agility. The result is a stronger Microsoft security operation, not a separate stack bolted on beside it.
How it works
1. Microsoft surfaces rich security signals across endpoints and identities.
Defender, Entra, and Microsoft 365 show you what’s happening across the environment.
2. Huntress starts the hunt. We ingest and enrich those signals, then layer in our own telemetry.
That adds more context around attacker behavior—from actively hunting for persistent footholds to laying traps like ransomware canaries—so threats are exposed before they can do real damage.
3. The Huntress SOC investigates, prioritizes, and remediates, 24/7.
We help teams figure out what matters now and what can wait. When something serious happens, we help drive the response through to the finish, no matter the time of day.
Strengthen Microsoft environments across endpoints, identities, and logs
Endpoint Integrity
Huntress Managed EDR works with Microsoft Defender AV, as well as Defender for Business and Defender for Endpoint, to enhance endpoint coverage and improve visibility. When something needs containment or remediation, teams can move faster.
Managed ESPM hardens Windows endpoints and reduces attack surfaces.
Identity Resilience
Managed ITDR continuously monitors Microsoft 365 and Entra identities, catching account takeover early, uncovering session hijacking, and spotting malicious OAuth apps before they turn into something worse.
Managed ISPM actively hardens Microsoft 365 environments, addressing identity misconfigurations before attackers can use them.
Operational Readiness
Managed SIEM brings together Microsoft 365, Entra, Defender, Azure, and other log sources so teams can spot trouble sooner and respond with more confidence. Long-term searchable log storage also supports audit, insurance, and compliance needs.
Managed SAT brings training and simulations into Microsoft 365 and Teams to teach users to spot scams and phishing before they let attackers into the business.

Where teams get stuck |
Core business platform—Microsoft 365—is unmonitored and unprotected. |
Lack the capabilities to deploy and manage the stack 24/7, so value goes underutilized. |

What Huntress adds |
Stronger detection and response on top of Microsoft 365, plus an achievable path into a more mature Microsoft security perimeter. |
Additional tradecraft-focused telemetry, and detection and response for Microsoft 365, Defender AV, and Defender for Business, with a 24/7 SOC behind it all. |
