Huntress Empowers Businesses to Take Control of Their Identity Security with Enhanced Managed Identity Threat Detection & Response Solution

In a bid to empower businesses to take control of their identity security, Huntress has unveiled its newly enhanced Managed Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) solution. This innovative solution is designed to provide proactive protection against OAuth application threats in Microsoft 365 environments.

At the RSA Conference, Huntress revealed its new solution alongside new research on the growing threat of identity-based attacks. The report highlights key trends that reveal the increasing frequency, severity, and cost of identity-based attacks. According to the research, hackers are increasingly relying on stolen credentials, session cookies, and access tokens to bypass endpoint protection and exploit weak multi-factor authentication.

A Growing Threat Landscape

“There’s no denying identity is the new security perimeter,” said Prakash Ramamurthy, Chief Product Officer at Huntress. “With widespread cloud adoption, the shift to hybrid work, and an increased reliance on SaaS applications, the identity attack surface has exploded over the past few years.”

The Huntress 2025 Managed ITDR Report: Identity Is the New Security Perimeter reveals that hackers are no longer wasting time breaking into networks the hard way. Instead, they are logging in using stolen credentials, session cookies, and access tokens to bypass endpoint protection and exploit weak multi-factor authentication.

Advanced Detection and Response Capabilities

Huntress Managed ITDR has stopped 28,000 identity attacks and counting in the last six months. With a mean time to respond (MTTR) of just 3 minutes and a low false positive rate, this solution provides “always-on” protection for over 1.8 million identities.

Powered by Unwanted Access, Shadow Workflows, and its new Rogue Apps capability, the solution dismantles the identity tradecraft hackers love to abuse with three primary capabilities:

  • Unwanted Access: identifies unauthorized access attempts across cloud platforms
  • Shadow Workflows: detects suspicious workflow patterns in your Microsoft 365 environment
  • Rogue Apps: proactively detects and eliminates malicious OAuth applications

“Through our research, it became strikingly clear that the threat posed by malicious OAuth applications was far greater than initially anticipated,” said Matt Kiely, Principal Cybersecurity Researcher at Huntress. “That realization drove us to develop the Rogue Apps capability to empower organizations to proactively detect and eliminate these threats.”

Real-World Results

“Huntress Managed ITDR has been a game-changer for us,” said Ryan Rowbottom, Director of IT Services at PCS. “Not only is it priced in a way that actually works for our clients, but it’s also made managing their Microsoft 365 identities and email environments so much easier.”

With its innovative solution, Huntress is empowering businesses to take control of their identity security posture before attackers do.
