Peace of mind in identifying compromises in your M365 tenants
Huntress Managed ITDR examines various signals from the M365 tenants. If anything suspicious is identified, their SOC analysts can take a closer look and subsequently take action. It's a comprehensive solution covering endpoints and cloud tenants, offering peace of mind. I recognized its benefits immediately, as it provides protection against M365 identity compromises, like admin account breaches.

Comprehensive security suite saves time with proactive threat hunting
The best feature of this solution is that it is an integrated and comprehensive solution for the entire Microsoft ecosystem. The proactive threat hunting feature of this tool is a great thing. There is a measurable benefit from this solution; certainly with automation, you can at least have 20-25% of the man-hours being saved.
