Huntress has signed a pan-European distribution partnership with ALSO, giving value-added resellers (VARs) and managed service providers (MSPs) in 31 countries a new route to its Agentic Security Platform. The cybersecurity company, which protects more than 270,000 businesses, said the move will strengthen its growing EMEA channel ecosystem.
For security teams and the service providers that support smaller organisations, the significance lies in what the platform bundles. Huntress combines layered protection across endpoints, identities, logs, security posture and employee behaviour, backed by its round-the-clock, AI-centric Security Operations Center. For MSPs without the resources to staff a SOC of their own, that model offers a way to deliver continuous detection and response to customers as part of a managed service.
Identity is a particular point of focus. ALSO runs an established Microsoft practice, and the two companies say this will give partners a natural way to layer Huntress’ managed security capabilities over the Microsoft environments their customers already rely on, helping them get more value from existing investments rather than introducing a parallel stack.
In the UK, Westcoast Cloud, part of the ALSO ecosystem, will handle local execution and channel reach. Huntress said this will allow it to grow its presence in the region while preserving the local relationships, expertise and support that partners expect.
“Europe continues to be an important growth market for Huntress, and scaling effectively means giving more partners the tools, support, and access they need to protect more businesses in their local markets,” said Kevin Hallmark, Head of Global Distribution at Huntress. “ALSO gives us the combination of European scale and local market expertise we need to reach more partners without compromising the regional support and relationships businesses deserve.”
Partners will be able to buy and manage Huntress through the ALSO Cloud Marketplace (ACMP), which handles quoting, ordering, API-driven provisioning, subscription management, billing, usage visibility and renewals. Support for both subscription and consumption models means partners can package their Huntress services to suit their customers and their own business models.
“Huntress gives our partners a stronger way to strengthen their managed security offering and build scalable services for their customers,” said Ana Sánchez, Group Sales Lead Cybersecurity at ALSO. “By combining Huntress’ security capabilities with ALSO’s local market expertise, partner enablement and digital platforms, we can help VARs and MSPs across Europe expand their cybersecurity business.”
The agreement is the latest step in Huntress’ international expansion. Its channel ecosystem now covers more than 100 countries, with a growing presence across the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Africa supported by regional teams and strategic distribution relationships.
