Cloud Security - Huntress Expands ITDR to Google Workspace

What Happened

Huntress has made a significant move by extending its Managed Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) solution to Google Workspace. This announcement was made during the RSA Conference in San Francisco, coinciding with the company surpassing 10 million Microsoft 365 identities protected across over 93,000 organizations. The timing of this launch is crucial, as identity-based attacks accounted for 40% of all security incidents in 2025.

As hackers become more sophisticated, they are shifting from traditional break-ins to exploiting identities. Google Workspace has evolved from a mere productivity suite to a central hub for authentication and SaaS access. This shift has not gone unnoticed by attackers, prompting Huntress to enhance its security offerings to address these emerging threats.

Who's Being Targeted

The primary targets of these identity attacks are organizations that rely on Google Workspace for their daily operations. Many businesses still depend on outdated email security tools that fail to detect modern attack vectors. Huntress aims to fill this gap by focusing on three key threat patterns: anomalous login activity, malicious inbox rule persistence, and suspicious datacenter authentication. By addressing these specific behaviors, Huntress hopes to provide a more effective defense against identity theft.

Signs of Infection

Organizations should be vigilant for signs of identity attacks, which can manifest in various ways. Anomalous login activity may include logins from unexpected locations or through unusual VPN configurations. Additionally, attackers may create Gmail filters to suppress MFA alerts or hide security notifications, making it difficult for users to detect unauthorized access. Tracking logins from infrastructure commonly associated with threat actor activity is another crucial indicator of potential compromise.

How to Protect Yourself

To safeguard against these identity threats, organizations should consider implementing Huntress’ Managed ITDR solution for Google Workspace. This solution is designed to surface high-signal attacker behavior, reducing the noise that often overwhelms security teams. With 24/7 AI-centric SOC support, Huntress provides expert-led detection without adding to the alert burden on resource-constrained security teams. A 14-day free trial is available, allowing businesses to evaluate the effectiveness of this solution in enhancing their cloud security posture.

In summary, as identity attacks surge, Huntress is positioning itself as a leader in ITDR solutions for both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. By addressing the unique challenges posed by these platforms, Huntress aims to protect organizations from the evolving threat landscape.
