Add Context Bomb Canaries to Huntress MDR/ITDR
Hi Huntress Team, We use Huntress heavily across our own environment and dozens of client M365/Azure tenants. I’d like to request native support for context bomb canaries. Quick basics Context bombs are short text strings planted in decoy resources (Key Vault secrets, Entra app secrets, Intune profiles, AVD env vars, etc.). When a malicious AI agent reads them, the string trips the LLM’s safety guardrails and frequently causes the agent to stop or refuse to continue. You still get the canary alert. Tracebit’s recent tests showed this cut AI agent success rates dramatically (admin access from ~57% down to 5%, full compromise from 36% to 1%). Good overview of how it works: https://www.csoonline.com/article/4198524/context-bombing-heralds-a-new-ai-era-of-deceptive-defense.html Full research + placement details: https://agentic.tracebit.com/context-bombs/ Why it matters AI agents can now escalate and persist in cloud environments in minutes. Traditional canaries only alert — context bombs both detect and actively disrupt the attack. That extra stop/slow-down is huge when the kill chain is this fast. For Azure/M365 specifically, the highest-value spots are: • Azure Key Vault secrets • Entra ID app registration secrets • Intune/AVD environment variables and configs • Other decoy secrets/docs agents tend to enumerate This would be a strong differentiator for Huntress MDR/ITDR and something we could immediately offer our clients (especially regulated ones). Would you be open to logging this as a feature request and letting me know if it’s already on the radar? Happy to jump on a quick call or share the research/links if helpful.

New Functionality
Google Workspace - Account suspension support or agressive deauth
Based on conversations with Huntress support as well as our account manager it seems that ITDR for Google workspace currently revokes an active session once, but does not de-authenticate the account and does not perform more aggressive de authentication on subsequent logins. The Cited concerns for this in documentation is that it may be too aggressive and can break some google workspace functionality. I for one would find this acceptable so long as what breaks is documented and can be resolved by the admin. I would much rather cleanup a broken config if it is feasible, as opposed to allow malicious actors to freely roam on re-entry. Alternatively, if what breaks is not repairable or creates a massive support burden, we would like to at least see a far more aggressive session de-authentication for the user account, continuous, until the incident is resolved. Perhaps a forced credential rotation as well to help keep those sessions de-authenticated. If we can't block access completely via revoking access, I would hope it can be made far more difficult by other means. I understand perhaps the huntress team and some other administrators may not share the wish for this level of protection, so perhaps this could be implemented in an opt-in and granular level For example: Default experience: Current Opt-in settings/levels: Continue revoking sessions Force credential rotation Suspend and break integrations (The aggressive level Huntress suspects is too aggressive) This way we can keep those actions separate if anyone was interested in a more aggressive de-auth but not rotating credentials and not breaking those application connections. Some granular choice would ultimately be ideal in the matter. And as with anything, we would prefer this to be on a per-organization level, because each org may have their own preference of how aggressive they want to have it as well. Thanks for your consideration

ITDR Onboarding Overhaul
## Problem Bringing a new M365 tenant under Managed ITDR is the first step of every partner-client relationship. Partners need that process to be fast, predictable, and visible — they need to see exactly where each tenant is in onboarding, get an accurate signal when something requires their attention, and minimize the time they spend manually walking each tenant through setup. Partners running ITDR across dozens or hundreds of tenants also need a single place to monitor onboarding progress without checking each integration individually. As Huntress expands Identity protection beyond ITDR, partners also need a simple path to add additional Identity products to a tenant they've already authorized — without restarting onboarding from scratch. ## What We're Doing About It We've rebuilt the ITDR onboarding flow with the partner experience at the center. Partners see clear status as each tenant moves through onboarding. Common errors are automatically corrected, and when partner action is required, we send a specific, actionable notification. The new onboarding flow also supports adding additional Identity products to an existing tenant as a one-click action. ## Impact The manual steps a partner walks through to onboard a tenant take roughly two minutes; the remaining onboarding work completes in the background. Real-time visibility into the status of every tenant being onboarded. Common onboarding errors are auto-resolved; the rest come with a clear, action-specific notification. Additional Identity products can be added without re-authorizing the entire tenant.
