Huntress, a notable player in cybersecurity, has announced a significant expansion of its Managed Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) solution to Google Workspace. This move represents a strategic broadening of the company’s cloud identity security offerings, emerging at a pivotal moment in the cybersecurity landscape.
The announcement was made during the RSA Conference held in San Francisco today, coinciding with Huntress securing protection for over 10 million Microsoft 365 identities across more than 93,000 organizations. This achievement underscores Huntress’s ambition to solidify its reputation as the premier ITDR provider across the two major platforms that characterize modern business operations: Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
The decision to extend services to Google Workspace comes in response to an evolving threat landscape. Data from 2025 indicates that identity-based attacks constituted a staggering 40% of all security incidents, highlighting the increasing prevalence of threats that exploit vulnerabilities in user identities. Cyber adversaries have been utilizing techniques like session hijacking, OAuth abuse, multi-factor authentication (MFA) manipulation, and leveraging trusted access pathways—all of which traditional endpoint security tools often overlook. With Google Workspace now recognized not merely as a productivity suite but as a central authentication and SaaS access hub for millions of organizations, the inherent risks have drawn the attention of cyber criminals.
Huntress emphasizes that many businesses continue to rely on outdated email security solutions that were not designed to combat these sophisticated threats. Their Managed ITDR solution for Google Workspace seeks to identify high-signal attacker behaviors rather than creating excessive alerts that could overwhelm security teams. The focus is on three primary threat patterns:
- Anomalous Login Activity: This includes logins originating from unusual locations or through unexpected VPN configurations.
- Malicious Inbox Rule Persistence: Attackers can create Gmail filters to conceal MFA alerts or other security notifications, thereby maintaining access to compromised accounts.
- Suspicious Datacenter Authentication: This monitors logins from infrastructures that are typically associated with threats, enabling quicker responses to potential breaches.
This solution is an integral part of Huntress’s broader Agentic Security Platform and benefits from the company’s dedicated 24/7 AI-centric Security Operations Center (SOC), which ensures continuous monitoring and threat detection.
Prakash Ramamurthy, the Chief Product Officer at Huntress, has articulated the urgency of addressing these evolving threats. He remarked, “Hackers aren’t breaking in anymore; they’re logging in, and Google Workspace is increasingly at the center of that risk. When identity becomes the front door to the business, organizations need experts who can detect attacker behavior in real time and shut it down.”
For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and security teams that may be stretched thin, the allure of Huntress’s offering is evident. The solution promises expert-led detection capabilities without adding to the already overwhelming burden of alerts typically faced by security professionals. Notably, customers such as BizStream and CCP Tech have expressed appreciation for the ability to delegate identity threat investigations to Huntress rather than juggling multiple dashboards.
With the introduction of unified ITDR coverage that now encompasses both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, Huntress is positioning itself as a comprehensive platform provider for identity security—a vital need for organizations leveraging these dominant productivity platforms to power their daily operations. The Google Workspace ITDR offering is available immediately and includes a 14-day free trial, allowing organizations to experience the enhanced security features first-hand.
As businesses increasingly recognize the critical nature of identity security in the current landscape of cyber threats, Huntress is poised to meet the growing demand for innovative, effective solutions. This expansion not only showcases Huntress’s commitment to security but also reinforces its mission to empower organizations with the tools necessary to safeguard their digital identities and maintain operational integrity in an ever-changing cyber environment.
