Huntress Expands Channel Ecosystem with Four New Distribution Partners — Accelerating Mid-Market, Public Sector, and EMEA Growth
Cybercrime has evolved into a global, organised industry — and its preferred targets are not the Fortune 500 companies with dedicated security teams and unlimited budgets. Its preferred targets are schools, municipalities, medical practices, and the mid-market organisations that form the backbone of the global economy. These are the businesses that rely most heavily on resellers, MSPs, and value-added resellers to deliver the security technologies they need. Huntress — the global cybersecurity company on a mission to make enterprise-grade protection accessible to all businesses — has announced a significant expansion of its global channel ecosystem through four new distribution partnerships with Ingram Micro, Vertosoft, Liquid PC, and QBS Software.
Each new partner plays a distinct and strategically deliberate role in extending Huntress's reach into the market segments where the protection gap is widest — and where the consequences of a breach are most severe. Together, the four agreements build the distribution infrastructure that Huntress believes is essential to protecting the organisations that have long been chronically underserved by enterprise-focused cybersecurity vendors.
"For over a decade, we have enabled our partners to defend against cybercriminals. These four new distribution agreements will help us expand faster and protect more customers with the Huntress Agentic Security Platform and 24/7 AI-Centric SOC. Together with Ingram Micro, VertoSoft, Liquid PC, and QBS Software, we are building a distribution infrastructure to ensure every business is protected."

Four Partners, Four Distinct Market Doors
Huntress's channel strategy is built around a single principle: meeting partners where they already do business. Rather than asking resellers, MSPs, and VARs to adopt a new procurement motion, the four distribution agreements bring Huntress directly into the ecosystems those partners already operate within — reducing friction, accelerating time to value, and ensuring the platform reaches the customers that need it most.
Ingram Micro — Global Scale Within the Microsoft Ecosystem
One of the world's largest technology distributors, Ingram Micro brings Huntress into the operational environment where a large proportion of solution providers and MSPs already buy and deploy technology. The partnership is specifically positioned around strengthening customers' Microsoft security posture — giving channel partners a direct path to enterprise-grade endpoint and identity protection within the Microsoft ecosystem they already manage.
Vertosoft — Protecting the Public Sector's Digital Backbone
Ransomware attacks on local governments, school districts, and state agencies are at an all-time high — and these organisations run the digital backbone of communities across the US. Vertosoft's deep expertise in public sector procurement gives Huntress a direct path to the government, education, and state and local organisations that can least afford to go unprotected. Many of these entities have never had access to enterprise-grade security at a price point and complexity level that works for their teams and budgets.
Liquid PC — Women-Owned, High-Growth, Reseller-First
A trusted technology distributor serving the reseller community, Liquid PC brings Huntress's platform to a broad network of reseller and MSP partners looking to protect their customers without adding operational complexity. A women-owned global distributor with over 20% year-over-year growth since 2012, Liquid PC has built its reputation as a trusted advisor by identifying security solutions that are accessible, scalable, and easy to deliver — and sees Huntress as precisely that kind of innovation.
QBS Software — Huntress's Gateway Into UK and EMEA
With established VAR relationships and a strong cybersecurity portfolio across the UK and broader European market, QBS Software significantly strengthens Huntress's EMEA presence. The agreement opens a direct path to mid-market organisations across Europe through a distributor that understands how enterprise software buying decisions are made in that region — giving UK and EMEA-based channel partners simple, accessible access to the Huntress platform through a trusted and established route.
The Huntress Agentic Security Platform — Built for the Businesses Cybercriminals Target Most
The distribution expansion is underpinned by a platform that was purpose-built not for enterprise IT teams with deep security benches, but for the mid-market and smaller organisations that have always had the most to lose from a breach and the fewest resources to prevent one. The Huntress Agentic Security Platform delivers end-to-end protection across endpoints, identities, data, and employees — through a 24/7 AI-centric SOC staffed by world-class engineers, researchers, and security analysts who stop threats before they cause harm.
What distinguishes the Huntress approach for MSPs and resellers is operational simplicity and speed. The platform is multi-tenant by design, lightweight to deploy, and backed by a SOC that behaves like an extension of the partner's own team — rather than another console that requires constant monitoring and management. Partners can stand up security services in days rather than months, with margins that work for MSP and reseller business models rather than being designed exclusively around enterprise procurement cycles.
A Channel Strategy Built Around Protecting the 99%
The distribution expansion follows Huntress's March 2026 decision to extend its partner programme to resellers — a move that itself followed a decade of operating exclusively through MSP partnerships. That broadening of the partner model reflects a deliberate strategic conviction: that the 99% of companies below the Fortune 1000, which make up the backbone of the global economy and which cybercriminals disproportionately target, need a different kind of security partner — one built for their scale, their resources, and their channel relationships.
Research from Microsoft Security found that one in three small and medium-sized businesses fell victim to cyberattacks in the past year — and cybercriminals are increasingly exploiting the resource gaps and defensive weaknesses that these organisations cannot close without the right partner ecosystem behind them. Huntress is building that ecosystem deliberately, one distribution agreement at a time — with four partners who between them cover the US mid-market, the US public sector, the global reseller community, and the UK and EMEA channel.
Key Takeaways
Huntress has added four new distribution partners — Ingram Micro, Vertosoft, Liquid PC, and QBS Software — each covering a distinct market segment: the Microsoft channel ecosystem, the US public sector, the global reseller community, and the UK and EMEA mid-market.
The expansion is specifically targeted at the organisations cybercriminals hit hardest — schools, municipalities, medical practices, and mid-market businesses — that rely on channel partners rather than in-house security teams to access and deploy modern protection.
The Huntress Agentic Security Platform — covering EDR, ITDR, SIEM, Security Awareness Training, and Posture Management — is backed by a 24/7 AI-centric SOC and currently protects 250,000+ organisations across 5M+ endpoints and 10M+ identities worldwide.
The distribution expansion follows the March 2026 launch of the Huntress Reseller Partner Programme — together forming a deliberate channel ecosystem strategy to protect the 99% of businesses below the Fortune 1000 that have historically been underserved by enterprise-focused cybersecurity vendors.
The addition of Ingram Micro, Vertosoft, Liquid PC, and QBS Software to Huntress's distribution ecosystem is not simply a channel expansion — it is an infrastructure investment in the mission that has defined the company from the start. Every new distribution agreement is a new entry point for the schools, municipal governments, healthcare practices, and mid-market companies that are among the most targeted and least protected organisations in the world. For Huntress, the goal is straightforward: meet partners where they already do business, reduce the friction of deploying enterprise-grade security, and ensure that the businesses most at risk are never again the ones least able to access modern protection.
