Why Do I Need Huntress Protection for My Network and Microsoft 365?
You might already have Huntress protecting your network but extending that protection to Microsoft 365 is equally important. Huntress is a detect-and-respond security tool we utilize to limit how much damage an attacker can do once they’ve broken through. Their ITDR (identity threat detection and response) solution for Microsoft 365 is focused on protecting identities and credentials and responding to identity-related attacks.
It doesn’t prevent attacks — no tool prevents 100% of attacks — but it helps us catch attackers faster so they have limited time to access your sensitive data, encrypt your files and cause harm to your organization.
Why Extend Huntress Protection to Microsoft 365?
As many organizations migrate their operations to the cloud, monitoring cloud data for unusual or malicious activity is crucial.
Recently, we stopped a phishing attack thanks to Huntress’ Microsoft 365 protection — an attack that would have gone unnoticed with only network protection.
Even if most of your operations run from an on-premises server, you likely still use cloud services for email, where a significant amount of sensitive data is stored. Employees also likely use OneDrive for personal storage and Teams for collaboration.
Furthermore, if you have cybersecurity insurance or plan to apply for it, having comprehensive protection is essential. Insurers expect robust security measures, and a lack of cloud protection can weaken your application.
Despite our comprehensive prevention tools — antivirus software, phishing training and more — no system is foolproof. Human error, vulnerabilities or sophisticated attacks can sometimes bypass these defenses.

Key Benefits of Huntress for Microsoft 365
- Rapid response to phishing attacks: Huntress can detect and respond to phishing attacks targeting your Microsoft 365 accounts.
- Cloud data monitoring: Continuous monitoring of email, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams for signs of unusual or malicious activity.

Consider Additional Security Investments
Huntress offers significant value at just $3 per user, per month, providing essential detect-and-respond capabilities to safeguard your network and Microsoft 365 environments.
However, for organizations looking to further enhance their security posture, investing in Microsoft Entra ID Plan 2 is worth considering. At $9 per user, per month, Entra ID Plan 2 offers advanced features such as risk-based, in-the-moment conditional access decisions; identity protection; and comprehensive monitoring tools, delivering an additional layer of defense against sophisticated cyberthreats.
Microsoft 365 and network protection are not the same. Even if your organization still relies on an on-premises server for business operations, you’re likely still using some cloud services for email, file storage and collaboration.
Complete protection with Huntress is a great way to ensure your sensitive data remains secure.
