What is Huntress?

Huntress combines a managed detection and response (MDR) platform with a team of human threat hunters, to help can defend business from today’s determined cybercriminals. The Huntress Security Platform enables users to find and eliminate threats that lead to breaches, and ransomware. Huntress provides the technology, personnel and resources needed to catch threats that other tools miss and stop hackers in their tracks.

Huntress sits at the bottom of the customer's security stack, providing a crucial layer of detection and response that complements existing security tools already deployed. The Huntress 24/7 ThreatOps team investigates suspicious activity, removes false positives and enables the user to swiftly respond to advanced threats.

Huntress' human-augmented threat hunting goes beyond automation, providing users with the hands-on support and expertise to help stop persistent malware and other attacks. With one-click remediation, custom incident reports and integrations, Huntress helps the user's staff to respond to security events.

  • Detect - Install the Huntress agent and find attackers who abuse legitimate Windows applications and processes to bypass other security systems.
  • Analyze - Receive custom incident reports that combine automated intelligence with human expertise to understand the scope and severity of potential threats.
  • Respond - Isolate threats and get rid of hackers who are dwelling in the IT environments. With one click, the user can execute a series of automated actions to harden your security posture—and reduce future risk.
  • Report - Track incidents, review investigations and generate clientfacing collateral to demonstrate the value of detection and response services.

At the core of The Huntress Security Platform is its focus on identifying malicious footholds. Huntress monitors for these footholds, and
when found, delivers actionable recommendations and instructions for removal. Huntress ThreatOps aims to fill a critical gap in the security stack, supplying the user's company with a team of cybersecurity professionals who can hunt alongside an existing team IT or cybersecurity team. Huntress threat hunters provide 24/7 support and a degree of analysis and expertise that goes beyond software.

Huntress also enables the user to centrally manage Microsoft Defender Antivirus—a built-in and often underutilized Windows resource—to strengthen endpoint protection and open up more resources to strengthen the security stack.

To explore the service, Huntress offers a 21-day free trial. Their plans are oriented around the needs of MSPs, MSSPs, and VARs.

Customers have found great value in utilizing the learning resources provided by Huntress Labs, which help them stay up to date on the latest threats and enhance their knowledge and security practices. With constant releases of new features, such as AV management for Windows Defender, users can save costs and effectively utilize built-in software. This not only helps reduce support costs but also improves overall security. The ongoing threat detection capabilities of Huntress MDR are highly appreciated by customers as it highlights potential footholds and security issues on servers and workstations. Huntress has proven to be extremely effective at finding breaches and footprints of malicious activity that other security products may miss. Users have praised its quiet operation, only alerting them when there is a genuine issue, allowing them to focus their attention on real threats. Additionally, Huntress proactively looks back and across its install base to identify similar footprints and detect ongoing threats that were not previously disclosed. This provides users with constant availability and visibility of a SOC without the need to deploy or contract one, offering peace of mind and safeguarding against zero-day attacks. Leveraged by companies to protect customers' endpoints, Huntress provides a unique view of activity and complements existing endpoint security solutions. Its ease of deployment, lightweight nature, and minimal ongoing maintenance make it highly convenient for users. Huntress is relied upon to detect threats that bypass threat protection platforms and perform basic exterior scanning for open ports. The inclusion of Ransomware canaries has greatly enhanced the response to potential ransomware attacks by isolating infected hosts before the infection spreads. Moreover, the product's managed detection and response capabilities assist in identifying advanced persistent threats that basic antivirus may miss. With 24/7 threat hunting and human review of identified threats, Huntress ensures thorough analysis and response to potential security issues. Users have also appreciated the lightweight agent installed on Windows devices, as it has no noticeable impact on system performance. Overall, Huntress has proven itself as a valuable addition to users' security practices and stacks by providing enhanced protection, reducing costs, and improving overall cybersecurity posture.

In building our security practice and stack, we were looking for a security product that fits the needs of all of our users and our customers. The product needed to be safe and secure, obviously, but more to that would reduce our cost of support while improving the security in our customer base. Huntress MDR ticks almost all of our boxes and has set my mind at ease, allowing me to take that much wanted rest, especially over the holidays, when our customers are more vulnerable. Huntress helps to highlight any potential footholds, security issues, and ongoing threat detection on all our servers and workstations.
  • Security foothold identification
  • Detects abuse against real windows applications and services
  • Great security reports
  • [I] would like to see more SOC as a Service - service from them.
  • [I would also like] improved Intune integration, especially with Windows Defender and the rest of the suite.
A great product that highlights any and all persistent footholds on the network and does a great job on breach monitoring. The support staff are great, efficient, and are able to reach out when there is an issue. Most problems are cleared out/mitigated before we even know about them. A great product to add to your security stack.
  • Breach monitoring
  • Foothold threat hunting
  • Clear, useful reporting
  • Support
  • [It] lowered [the] total cost of T2 security support by 15%.
  • Better security reporting saves a lot of time prepping for QBRs.
  • There is no auto-remediation, but [it] is designed like that to not interrupt the user's day.
Firstly from a business model, [VMware] Carbon Black [Cloud Managed Detection] was not outfitted for the MSP where Huntress is very MSP-friendly from an affordably easy point to entry to value for money licensing. Carbon Black TS is not bad in anyway, well, that we found, but Huntress is a new layer of security that fits between the OS and AV layers to provide additional information, monitoring, and detection. With Huntress backing the MSP, [it] sure does help as well.

Huntress allows us to have the constant availability and visibility of a SOC without having to deploy or contract one. The mechanisms that allow for odd behavior to be elevated to the attention of a live security professional are a key safeguard against zero day attacks. We aren't large enough to deploy this in-house.
  • Lightweight sensor/agent on endpoint
  • Regular reports
  • Some explanation as to anomalous behavior
  • Reports could be more detailed
  • Dashboard isn't customizable
  • No direct sales option
This is a great solution for the SMB space where the attack surface is not very large. The assumption is that compromise is impossible to stop and better remediation should be the focus of security efforts. Automated remediation might suit most, but Huntress acts more like an advisor than an enforcer. This is important in our environment where users employ lots of applications and customizations.
  • Lightweight Agent/sensor
  • Some details about anomalous behavior
  • Analysis by cybersecurity professional
  • We have better peace of mind
  • We avoid spending more on this featureset being integrated into another Endpoint protection product.
  • This does require a third party to administer making our security more dependent on outside consultants.
Artic Wolf offers a superior service with dedicated resources and personalized service. This is offered at a premium price and we decided not to invest very heavily in this type of service yet. We don't need a dedicated team with intimate knowledge of our business at this time. This is a good lower-cost option appropriate to the size of our business and our projected risk.
