Huntress has expanded its Agentic Security Platform with new automated identity threat protections, SIEM capabilities, and security awareness tools aimed at managed service providers (MSPs). The updates leverage intelligence from confirmed identity attacks to block malicious infrastructure across eligible Microsoft 365 tenants, identify compromised service principals, and analyze historical login activity for new customers. A notable feature includes a Managed Identity Threat Detection and Response capability that converts confirmed attack intelligence into blocking policies for all eligible tenants on the same day. This expansion is a response to the increasing complexity of security operations faced by MSPs, allowing them to automate threat detection and response. The enhancements also include Brute Force Sentry for monitoring environments and Defense Drills for user training during active compromises. These tools aim to streamline security management for small and midsize businesses. The new capabilities are part of Huntress's ongoing efforts to improve security outcomes and scale threat intelligence.
