Huntress Launches Incident Response Program Towards Cyberattack Recovery Resilience
Huntress has introduced a global Incident Response Engagement Program that allows participating cybersecurity firms to deploy its security platform at no cost for 60 days during and after a cyberattack, bringing the peace of mind and expertise of Huntress' Agentic Security Platform and 24/7 AI-centric Security Operations Center (SOC) directly into the recovery process.
The program initially focuses on business email compromise (BEC) and identity-based attacks, helping incident responders address vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to regain access.
Key benefits include immediate protection, stopping attackers, closing gaps that enable breaches, extending protection and real-time SOC collaboration. Huntress' Incident Response Engagement Program further advances its mission to make comprehensive cyber protection and resilience accessible to businesses worldwide.
Participating firms can use Huntress' managed identity threat detection and response capabilities to monitor suspicious logins, compromised sessions, credential theft and OAuth abuse.
The platform also identifies excessive privileges, authentication weaknesses and security misconfigurations. A historical investigation feature, ITDR Lookback, provides access to up to six months of identity activity.
Huntress' 24/7 security operations center supports participating firms through dedicated communication channels. Partners retain responsibility for remediation and their customer relationships.
For enterprise security teams, the initiative addresses a common recovery challenge: maintaining continuous monitoring after the immediate threat has been contained. The program also provides a pathway from incident response to ongoing managed security services, potentially reducing gaps between recovery and longer-term protection.
