Huntress expands in Europe through ALSO partnership

Huntress is extending distribution across 31 European countries through a new partnership with ALSO, giving VARs and MSPs broader access to its security platform. The deal is part of Huntress’ push to scale its EMEA channel and widen international reach.

Why it matters: - The partnership gives Huntress a wider route into Europe’s channel market. - VARs and MSPs across 31 countries gain a new path to adopt and scale Huntress. - The deal strengthens Huntress’ EMEA ecosystem as the company pushes international growth. - ALSO’s Microsoft practice may help partners layer managed security on top of existing Microsoft investments.

What happened: - Huntress announced a partnership with ALSO on Oct. 1, 2026. - ALSO will distribute the Huntress Agentic Security Platform across its pan-European network. - The expanded reach covers 31 countries. - The partnership is designed to help European VARs and MSPs access and scale Huntress more easily. - In the U.K., Westcoast Cloud, part of the ALSO ecosystem, will handle local execution and channel reach.

The details: - The Huntress Agentic Security Platform combines endpoint, identity, log, security posture and employee-behavior protection. - Huntress’ 24/7 AI-centric Security Operations Center supports the platform. - Partners will access Huntress through the ALSO Cloud Marketplace. - The marketplace is meant to simplify quoting, ordering, API-driven provisioning, subscription management, billing, usage visibility and renewals. - ALSO says its marketplace supports subscription and consumption models. - Huntress will be available through an established distribution route with local market expertise and partner enablement. - ALSO said partners will keep the Huntress support and outcomes they expect. - Huntress’ partnership with ALSO builds on an international channel ecosystem that now spans more than 100 countries. - Huntress says that ecosystem has a growing presence across the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Africa. - Huntress protects more than 270,000 businesses. - Huntress also says it is safeguarding more than 5 million endpoints and 15 million identities. - ALSO said it is Europe’s largest technology provider for the ICT industry. - ALSO is active in 31 European countries and many countries worldwide through PaaS partners. - ALSO says its ecosystem includes more than 140,000 resellers, more than 800 vendors and more than 1,680 product categories. - ALSO’s services span Supply, Solutions and Service. - ALSO’s Service division includes subscription-based cloud offerings and digital platforms for IoT, cybersecurity, virtualisation and AI.

Between the lines: - The deal points to a distribution-first strategy for Huntress in Europe rather than a direct-sales push. - Pairing Huntress with ALSO’s local market reach could lower friction for channel partners that want to add security services without rebuilding their operations. - The mention of Microsoft suggests Huntress is positioning itself to fit into existing IT buying patterns, not replace them. - For ALSO, the agreement adds another cybersecurity offering to a broad reseller ecosystem already built around software and cloud services.

What's next: - Huntress will be rolled out through the ALSO Cloud Marketplace and the broader ALSO network. - European partners should be able to package and scale Huntress according to their own business models. - Huntress is likely to keep leaning on regional teams and distribution relationships as it expands beyond Europe. - Contact information for the U.K. execution path includes Rebecca Halards at Westcoast Cloud.

The bottom line: - Huntress is using ALSO to accelerate European channel growth, widen partner access and make its security platform easier to buy, deploy and scale across the region.
