Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) | 14-Day Free Trial

Not all cyber threats announce themselves. Many are designed to stay hidden – using compromised accounts and legitimate access inside Microsoft 365, often going unnoticed until real damage is done.

Huntress Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) focuses specifically on identifying and responding to suspicious identity activity within Microsoft 365.

Optimising IT delivers Huntress as a fully managed, human-led service, backed by a 24/7 Security Operations Centre – with a 14-day free trial to show you what’s happening in your environment today.

What Is Identity Threat Detection and Response?

Identity Threat Detection and Response is about understanding how user and administrator accounts behave, and identifying when something isn’t quite right.

Rather than scanning devices for malware, Huntress ITDR monitors Microsoft 365 identity and audit activity. This includes unusual sign-ins, suspicious inbox rules or email forwarding, unexpected changes to admin privileges, and other behaviour that may indicate that an account has been compromised.

Every alert is reviewed by our experienced security professionals, so findings are validated and prioritised. You’re not left trying to interpret raw data, or decide what matters.

Why Native Microsoft 365 Protection Isn’t Enough

Microsoft 365 includes strong baseline security controls, but identity-based attacks are often designed to operate within those boundaries.

Once an attacker has valid credentials, their activity can appear legitimate. Suspicious sign-ins, inbox rules, or changes to privileges may not immediately trigger alerts, or may be difficult to interpret without any additional context.

Huntress ITDR focuses on detecting these subtle identity signals and validating them through human investigation. This helps highlight risk earlier and provides clarity on what activity genuinely needs attention.
