Huntress Expands Managed Security Offerings to Identity Protection with New MDR for Microsoft 365
– GlobeNewswire
Huntress, a managed security platform for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and their Managed Service Providers (MSPs), has launched a new Managed Detection and Response (MDR) for Microsoft 365 product.
This solution aims to enhance protection against costly Business Email Compromise (BEC) and Account Takeover Attacks (ATO) that disproportionately affect SMBs, leading to significant financial losses.
The Huntress MDR for Microsoft 365 actively monitors Microsoft 365 to detect and respond to business email compromise and other threats.
It provides a fully-managed solution to reduce false positives and eliminate alert fatigue.
The solution detects indicators of compromised identities and offers actionable steps to contain the threat and prevent further damage.
It incorporates 24/7 human-led threat analysis and remediation, powered by Huntress’ expert SOC team, to proactively address compromised accounts.
Key features of the solution include instant lockdown capabilities to shut down suspicious activity instantly and active monitoring of Microsoft 365.
This proactive approach aims to stop BEC attacks before they cause significant harm.
The solution has shown success in detecting and stopping email forwarding rule attacks that could have exposed confidential information to threat actors.
Huntress’ offering addresses the increasing email-focused compromise, with a focus on weaknesses in Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
By expanding its services to include identity protection within one managed platform, Huntress provides holistic protection against BEC attacks.
The company aims to empower SMBs by combining technology with a team of 24/7 human threat experts to help them defend against cyberattacks.
Founded in 2015, Huntress has experienced significant growth and now protects over 2 million endpoints, supporting thousands of partners and more than 115,000 organizations.
The company recently closed a $60M series C funding round led by Sapphire Ventures.
