Huntress has introduced a global incident response partner program that provides 60 days of no-cost security protection to businesses impacted by cyberattacks, according to Channel Insider.
The new Incident Response Engagement Program enables participating firms to deploy the Huntress security platform immediately without standard procurement delays. This initiative focuses on business email compromise and identity-based threats, utilizing managed identity threat detection and response tools to monitor suspicious logins, credential theft, and OAuth abuse.
By leveraging identity security posture management, partners can identify authentication weaknesses and excessive privileges that often leave organizations vulnerable. The program also features an identity lookback capability, allowing responders to analyze six months of historical activity to uncover prior threats.
Throughout the recovery process, Huntress provides 24/7 security operations center support and maintains dedicated communication channels with partners. While Huntress supplies these managed capabilities, incident response firms retain full control over customer relationships and lead all remediation efforts. This approach aims to reduce operational complexity during active incidents while helping partners establish long-term security strategies. The program follows a recent cyber insurance partnership with Acrisure, further signaling the company's commitment to expanding its role in global cyber resilience beyond standard threat detection.
