Huntress Launches Microsoft 365 Identity Posture Assessment

· Original article ↗

Summary

Huntress announced an on-demand Microsoft 365 identity assessment that scores licensed controls, identifies gaps, and separates one-click fixes from manual actions. Huntress says over half of recommended controls are missing in more than 60% of tenants.

Key points

  • The assessment scores Microsoft 365 identity controls across authentication and external access, collaboration settings, and app permissions.
  • Its report groups findings by severity and distinguishes controls that Huntress Managed ISPM can deploy from those requiring manual configuration.
  • The assessment includes Microsoft Secure Score as a separate reference point and only scores controls the tenant is licensed to use.
  • Reports can be generated on demand from the ISPM dashboard at the account or organization level; Microsoft 365 is currently supported.
  • Huntress says over half of recommended controls are missing in more than 60% of tenants, and that 35% of ITDR incidents over a six-month period could have been prevented by fully deploying ISPM policies.
