Cybersecurity company Huntress has expanded its distribution partnership with Ingram Micro into Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean, strengthening its channel presence across the Americas.

Building on its existing relationship in the United States, the agreement gives Huntress a single distribution route across the region, making it easier for managed service providers (MSPs) and value-added resellers (VARs) to access and deliver its cybersecurity services.

The expansion comes as Huntress continues to grow internationally, following increased investment in its channel operations across Europe, Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Simplifying Cybersecurity Distribution Across the Americas

By extending its relationship with Ingram Micro, Huntress aims to reduce the complexity of working across multiple markets while taking advantage of the distributor’s established local infrastructure and partner relationships.

For MSPs and resellers, the agreement provides a more straightforward route to sourcing Huntress products and services through a familiar distribution partner.

Kevin Hallmark, Head of Global Distribution at Huntress, said the move would help the company reach more businesses through its channel partners.

“Partners are central to scaling our mission to protect all businesses, and expanding our relationship with Ingram Micro across the Americas gives more partners a simple, familiar path to Huntress.”

He added: “With coverage across the U.S., Canada, and Latin America through a single distributor, we can move faster to deliver stronger security to the businesses targeted by cybercrime.”

New Opportunities for Canadian MSPs

In Canada, the expanded agreement will allow MSPs and VARs to access Huntress through Ingram Micro’s existing distribution network.

The partnership is designed to help Canadian partners strengthen their cybersecurity portfolios without adding unnecessary complexity to their operations.

Alistair Edmondson, Director of Advanced Solutions at Ingram Micro Canada, said the addition of Huntress would support partners looking to expand their managed security offerings.

“Canadian partners are looking for security solutions that strengthen the protection they deliver without adding unnecessary complexity to their businesses.”

He added that bringing Huntress into Ingram Micro’s cybersecurity portfolio would help partners deliver managed security services while building businesses that can scale.

Supporting Growth Across Latin America

The agreement also extends Huntress’ reach across Latin America and the Caribbean, where differing legal, commercial and regulatory requirements can make regional expansion challenging.

Through Ingram Micro’s export division, Huntress will be able to work with a single distribution partner rather than establishing separate agreements in individual countries.

Daniela Rosa, Vice President and Country Chief Executive for Latin America at Ingram Micro, said the expansion would provide partners with greater access to cybersecurity technology.

“Our partners in Latin America are looking for technology relationships that can scale across borders while supporting the realities of doing business locally.”

She added that the agreement would help partners extend enterprise-grade cybersecurity protection to more customers across the region.

Access to Huntress’ Agentic Security Platform

Under the expanded partnership, Ingram Micro channel partners will gain access to the Huntress Agentic Security Platform, supported by the company’s 24/7 AI-centric Security Operations Centre (SOC).

The platform combines protection across endpoints, identities, logs, security posture and employee behaviour with human-led security expertise.

It also incorporates Athena, Huntress’ agentic investigation system, which uses AI to investigate suspicious activity at machine speed while working alongside security analysts to identify and respond to complex threats.

Huntress currently protects more than 280,000 businesses globally, with MSPs and resellers playing a central role in delivering its managed cybersecurity services.

The latest agreement strengthens the company’s distribution network across the Americas as it looks to make managed security more accessible to partners and the organisations they support.

Huntress researchers have uncovered two phishing attacks that combined convincing fake browser windows with legitimate remote management software to establish persistent access to victims’ devices.

Both incidents, observed in August, began with phishing messages directing victims to attacker-controlled websites. The attackers then used a browser-in-the-browser (BiTB) technique to create what appeared to be a legitimate Adobe webpage, before convincing victims to download malicious software disguised as an Adobe Reader update.

Rather than deploying conventional malware, the attackers installed rogue instances of ScreenConnect, legitimate remote monitoring and management (RMM) software, giving them continued remote access to compromised endpoints.

Fake browser makes phishing harder to spot

BiTB attacks create a fake browser window inside a webpage using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The window can replicate familiar features including an address bar, padlock and legitimate-looking URL, making traditional advice such as checking the web address less effective.

In the first attack, detected on 25 August, a victim clicked a link in a phishing email and was taken to a fake CAPTCHA page. They were subsequently presented with blurred documents and told they needed to download Adobe PDF Reader to view them.

The fake browser page appeared to show Adobe’s legitimate get.adobe.com address. However, the supposed Reader installer was actually ScreenConnect.

Once installed, the attackers deployed two rogue ScreenConnect clients, providing redundant routes for maintaining access. They then executed HideCursor.exe, a defence-evasion tool designed to conceal on-screen activity. Huntress intervened before the attack could progress further.

Second attack follows same playbook

Huntress identified another incident on 31 August involving the same Adobe Reader lure.

This time, the victim interacted with a malicious link delivered through AT&T Office@Hand, a legitimate communications service powered by RingCentral. The attackers again disguised ScreenConnect as an Adobe Reader update and installed two unauthorised instances.

The second ScreenConnect session was used to execute another defence-evasion binary, HideUL.exe. Microsoft Defender detected part of the activity, but the rogue ScreenConnect client still completed its installation before Huntress shut down the attack.

Legitimate tools remain attractive to attackers

The attacks demonstrate how threat actors can combine familiar phishing techniques with trusted software to make malicious activity harder to identify.

RMM abuse is a growing problem. Huntress’ 2026 Cyber Threat Report found RMM abuse increased 277% year on year and appeared in nearly a quarter of the incidents investigated by the company.

Huntress recommends organisations restrict who can install remote management tools, maintain an approved inventory of RMM software and monitor for new or unauthorised ScreenConnect clients. Employees should also be wary of unexpected software updates or file-viewing prompts, even when a webpage appears to display a legitimate address.

Huntress will be heading to International Cyber Expo 2026, where visitors can meet the team on Stand K94 and discover how the company is helping organisations tackle increasingly complex cyber threats with fewer resources.

One of the biggest challenges Huntress is seeing is the growing attack surface. Security teams are expected to protect endpoints, identities, cloud environments and other systems, often while dealing with limited time, resources and expertise.

At the same time, attackers are no longer operating in silos. Attacks increasingly move across different parts of an organisation’s environment, leaving security teams managing multiple tools and an overwhelming number of alerts.

At International Cyber Expo, Huntress will showcase its more unified, managed approach to security. The Huntress platform combines greater visibility across the attack surface with AI technologies and human security analysts to help partners and customers detect and respond to threats.

Tackling the rise of AI-powered attacks

AI-powered cybercrime will also be a major focus for Huntress at the show.

Generative AI is making it easier for attackers to create convincing phishing emails, develop malicious code and scale their operations. Tasks that previously required significant cybersecurity expertise can now be carried out with the help of readily available AI tools.

Huntress believes AI will also play an important role in helping defenders respond. Its approach uses AI to help analysts correlate security signals, summarise investigations and work faster, while retaining human judgement and context when making critical security decisions.

Visitors can also speak with Huntress about practical ways to strengthen their security posture. These include implementing multi-factor authentication, improving security awareness training and reducing vulnerabilities across the external network perimeter.

And when preventive controls fail, Huntress stresses the importance of having a mechanism to detect and respond to attacks quickly, including access to a 24/7 SOC that can support containment and remediation.
