Huntress Adds Managed and Modified Deployment Modes for Microsoft 365 Hardening
Summary
Huntress says Managed ISPM customers can choose automatic rollout of vetted Microsoft 365 identity controls or build and schedule their own deployments, with per-organization settings and MSP client overrides.
Key points
- Managed Deployments automatically roll out Huntress-selected low- and no-impact controls Monday through Thursday; customers can preview the schedule.
- Modified Deployments let teams select controls from Huntress's policy library, choose impact levels, and set rollout days.
- Customers are notified when new controls are added and decide whether to include them in Modified Deployments.
- MSPs can set a default deployment mode and control selection for new client organizations, with per-client overrides.
- The deployment mode is set at the organization level and can be changed later.
- Huntress reports that more than half of recommended identity controls are missing in over 60% of tenants, and that the rollback rate for controls in Managed ISPM tenants is below 1%.
