Huntress, a leader in cybersecurity solutions, announced a strategic collaboration with Microsoft on July 9, 2025, to enhance security for businesses of all sizes. By integrating with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Business, Defender AV, and Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E3, and E5 licenses, Huntress delivers advanced protection to over 300 million organizations, addressing the growing complexity of cyber threats.
Huntress integrates its cybersecurity suite with Microsoft’s ecosystem, including Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Business, Defender AV, and Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E3, and E5 licenses. This collaboration addresses the challenge faced by over 300 million organizations that rely on Microsoft but lack the expertise to fully utilize its security tools. “Huntress was founded to make enterprise-grade security accessible to all businesses,” said Chris Bisnett, CTO at Huntress. The integration enhances protection for endpoints, identities, and employees.
Huntress’ suite includes Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), and Security Awareness Training (SAT). Backed by a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC), these tools provide continuous monitoring and rapid response to cyber threats. “With cyberattacks growing in both volume and complexity, businesses face mounting pressure to protect their environments with limited resources,” said Steve Dispensa, Corporate Vice President of Security, Microsoft. This partnership ensures businesses can leverage Microsoft’s security investments effectively.
The collaboration enables businesses to combat sophisticated cyberattacks without requiring extensive in-house expertise. By simplifying the use of Microsoft’s security tools, Huntress helps organizations optimize their security spending and strengthen their defenses. The integration is particularly valuable for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), offering cost-effective, enterprise-grade protection through seamless compatibility with existing Microsoft environments.
Huntress and Microsoft’s partnership marks a significant step in making advanced cybersecurity accessible to businesses worldwide. By combining Huntress’ specialized solutions with Microsoft’s robust ecosystem, organizations can enhance their security posture, protect critical assets, and focus on growth in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
Huntress is the enterprise-grade, people-powered cybersecurity solution for all businesses, not just the 1%. With fully owned technology developed by and for its industry-defining team of security analysts, engineers, and researchers, Huntress elevates underresourced tech teams whether they work within outsourced IT environments or in-house IT and security teams.
