Guest Introduction
Jeremy Young is a leader at Huntress, one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity companies in the MSP channel. Huntress has built its reputation on community-driven threat intelligence and radical transparency, sharing what they see on the front lines so every MSP benefits. Jeremy brings real-world threat data and a practical security perspective that cuts through vendor marketing noise, making him exactly the kind of voice MSPs need to hear right now.
What We Cover
Why is Microsoft 365 the top target for cyber attackers going after MSPs?
Microsoft 365 is where the data lives for most MSP clients: email, files, identity, and collaboration all in one environment. That concentration of valuable data makes M365 an irresistible target. Jeremy shares specific threat intelligence from Huntress showing how attackers exploit M365 misconfigurations, weak identity controls, and gaps in audit logging to gain access and move laterally.
What does community-driven cybersecurity look like in practice?
Huntress operates on a principle that most security vendors ignore: share intelligence openly so every MSP benefits, not just paying customers. Jeremy explains how this community-first approach creates a network effect where threat data from one MSP's environment strengthens defenses across the entire channel. Black-box security solutions cannot deliver this kind of collective protection.
What practical steps should MSPs take to defend Microsoft 365 environments?
Jeremy walks through the foundational defenses every MSP should have in place: strong identity protection, conditional access policies, comprehensive audit logging, and continuous monitoring. These are not advanced capabilities reserved for large organizations. They are baseline requirements that most MSPs can implement today with the right tools and processes.
How does transparency and culture shape a security company's effectiveness?
Beyond technical capabilities, Jeremy discusses how Huntress' culture of transparency drives both their product development and their relationship with the MSP community. When a security vendor hides behind proprietary detection and opaque processes, MSPs cannot learn or improve. Transparency creates trust, and trust creates adoption.
Why This Matters for MSPs
Nearly every MSP client relies on Microsoft 365, and attackers know it. The liability exposure for MSPs managing these environments is significant, especially when contracts do not clearly define security responsibilities and scope. MSPs need both strong technical defenses and current, enforceable agreements that protect their business when incidents occur. This episode provides the threat intelligence and practical steps MSPs need to take M365 security seriously before an incident forces the issue.
