Huntress has expanded its Agentic Security Platform with the launch of Managed Endpoint Security Posture Management (ESPM) and Managed Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), delivering a more unified approach to securing endpoints, identities, and human risk in the AI era. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated and organizations struggle with visibility gaps, these new solutions aim to proactively eliminate common security weaknesses such as misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and unauthorized applications.

Notably, Huntress developed Managed ESPM entirely from scratch, while it built Managed ISPM in under four months by leveraging capabilities from its Inside Agent acquisition in November 2025. This rapid innovation highlights the company’s focus on delivering scalable and accessible security solutions. As a result, customers can now manage both endpoint and identity security posture within a single, integrated platform.

Traditionally, security posture management tools have required specialized expertise and extensive manual effort. However, Huntress takes a different approach by utilizing threat intelligence from its AI-driven security operations center (SOC) and insights gathered from millions of protected endpoints and identities. Consequently, the platform continuously defines, deploys, and maintains security controls on behalf of organizations, reducing operational burden while strengthening overall defenses.

“Most organizations don’t have a clear picture of their security posture, especially across endpoints. On average, one-third of workplace endpoint devices are unmanaged, and more than half of those are completely invisible and unsecured,” said Gabe Knuth, Principal Analyst at Omdia. “Addressing this rather large problem starts with developing best practices to deal with these devices, then having the resources and expertise to apply those best practices consistently, monitor for drift, and respond fast enough to stay ahead of increasing device proliferation. Solutions that help organizations automatically enforce these policies and fix gaps are critical to stopping today’s most common attacks.”

At the same time, the urgency for such solutions continues to rise. Huntress reports a 277% year-over-year increase in the abuse of remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools, while identity-based threats such as mailbox manipulation and OAuth abuse now account for nearly 30% of all attacks. Therefore, Managed ESPM and ISPM directly address these risks by continuously hardening systems against commonly exploited vulnerabilities.

Managed ESPM focuses on endpoint protection by controlling which applications can run across devices, effectively blocking unauthorized tools like rogue RMM software. Additionally, it integrates with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities. The platform also simplifies compliance by providing dashboards and prebuilt reports, reducing attestation timelines from days to minutes.

Meanwhile, Managed ISPM strengthens identity security by applying expert-built policies to Microsoft 365 environments. It continuously monitors Microsoft Entra ID and Conditional Access configurations for potential gaps. Furthermore, it can automatically roll back unauthorized changes within minutes, preventing attackers from exploiting identity weaknesses before damage occurs.

“Across the millions of endpoints and identities we protect, we see attackers exploiting the same security gaps over and over again,” said Prakash Ramamurthy, CPO at Huntress. “We built Managed ESPM and Managed ISPM to close those gaps before attackers can exploit them. This marks a major expansion for us, as customers now get a comprehensive agentic security platform that not only stops hackers from getting in the door, but also provides the industry-leading threat detection and response they rely on when adversaries do get past controls.”

Early feedback from industry professionals further validates the platform’s impact.

“Managing endpoint security posture across our clients’ environments requires deep expertise and constant attention to keep up with application control policies, operating system configurations, browser settings, and more,” said Tzvi Shoop, Cyber Security Consultant at Digacore. “After trialing Managed ESPM in the alpha program, we’ve seen firsthand how Huntress can take that entire burden off our plate and maintain our clients’ endpoints in a hardened state. Their openness and honesty throughout the process have been refreshing, and the results have been transformational for our team. We’re excited to see they’re bringing this same approach to identities too.”

Looking ahead, Huntress plans to showcase these solutions at the RSA Conference, with both offerings currently available through an Early Access program. General availability is expected by Summer 2026. Overall, this launch represents a significant step toward simplifying security posture management while enabling organizations to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats in an increasingly AI-driven landscape.
