Microsoft Usage Location Inference Live in Managed ITDR

Previously, when a Microsoft 365 identity lacked an Entra usage location, Huntress had no means to know the user's home country. That gap caused two kinds of noise: "Unexpected Country" escalations for people logging in from their own home country, and a steady stream of "login without usage location" escalations. Setting usage location tenant-by-tenant has been one of the top requests on this board (81 votes) - so we are thrilled to share that Microsoft Usage Location Inference is now live in Managed ITDR (thank you for the feedback!).

With this functionality, Huntress now infers the home country directly from the tenant, with zero partner configuration required. That inferred value stands in as the identity's Expected Country for Unexpected Country evaluation, and it automatically resolves the existing backlog of missing-usage-location escalations. NOTE: An identity's own usage location always takes precedence when present, and a real value from Entra will supersede the inferred one.

Nothing to configure on your end. Enjoy!
