Huntress, a provider of managed security solutions, has acquired Inside Agent, a SaaS platform specializing in Microsoft 365 tenant monitoring, for an undisclosed amount. Inside Agent offers an intelligent, user-friendly platform designed to streamline the monitoring, reporting, and auditing of multiple Microsoft 365 environments. Its technology enables rapid, detailed security assessments in under a minute, delivering actionable insights for enhanced protection and compliance. The platform aims to simplify complex cybersecurity tasks and improve operational efficiency for organizations looking to stay ahead of potential threats within their Microsoft 365 ecosystems.
Huntress provides a comprehensive managed security platform, including Managed EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), Managed Security Awareness Training, Managed ITDR (Identity Threat Detection and Response) for Microsoft 365 identities and email, and Managed SIEM (Security Information and Event Management). The company focuses on helping organizations fight threats and offers full-spectrum identity defense capabilities. Its services are designed to secure various digital environments and empower teams with robust cybersecurity measures.
This acquisition is strategically aimed at strengthening Huntress's identity protection offerings and expanding its capabilities within the Microsoft 365 security landscape. Inside Agent's technology will complement Huntress's Managed ITDR service by automating posture assessments and identifying critical security gaps, particularly regarding outdated security settings in Microsoft 365 environments. This integration is expected to reduce identity-related incidents by enabling faster detection and remediation of vulnerabilities. The combined expertise will allow for more comprehensive coverage across key services such as Entra, Exchange, Intune, SharePoint, and Teams.
Looking ahead, Huntress plans to integrate Inside Agent’s capabilities to develop an Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) offering, projected for 2026. This future integration is intended to provide instant identification of security gaps using established standards like CIS Benchmarks, offer clear, actionable recommendations, and facilitate automated risk remediation. The merger is poised to enhance overall security posture and strengthen identity resilience for a broader base of organizations, helping them proactively address evolving threats and secure their digital identities more effectively.
