Purpose-Built, Expert-Backed Cybersecurity For All Businesses

Customer Focus and Experience
Huntress logo
Icon checkmark

Huntress has the back of all businesses. Hyper-focused on every customer with 24/7 SOC Support and our Tactical Response team. Customer satisfaction score of 99%.

Red Canary
No


Built for large enterprises who have the budgets and teams to augment their MDR services. Acquisition by ZScaler raises uncertainty for existing customers.



Threat Detection & Response
Huntress logo
Icon checkmark

We own the tech stack, so detection and response are smarter, faster, and built for your needs.

Red Canary
No

They bolt onto someone else’s tech that could lead to slower detections and unpredictable response outcomes.


Management
Huntress logo
Icon checkmark

We handle everything: onboarding, 24/7 monitoring, AV, hunting, containment, and more. You stay focused on your business. We manage the threats.

Red Canary
No

You bring the EDR, manage AV, then pay extra for full coverage. Multiple tools, vendors, and gaps.

MTTR
Huntress logo
Icon checkmark

We don’t just detect, we rapidly contain threats with an industry-leading MTTR. We enable threat remediation, automated or customer-implemented, without additional cost.

Red Canary
No

Remediation requires purchasing their Automation product. No published MTTR.


Pricing & Billing
Huntress logo
Icon checkmark

One price. Everything included. No surprises, no tiers, and no missing features when you need us most.


Red Canary
No

Buy your own EDR, add services, and tech stack costs. Want full coverage? That’s extra. Those “extras” wreck your budget.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Huntress logo
Icon checkmark

Lower overhead, fully-managed solutions, and real response built-in. Less spend, less stress, better security outcomes


Red Canary
No

Higher costs, scattered tools, and hidden charges with unpredictable protection. You’ll spend more, do more, and still be at risk.


Endpoint Threat Detection and Response
Huntress logo
Icon checkmark

Enterprise-grade, purpose-built EDR solution that delivers high-accuracy threat detection, < 1% false positive rate, a 24/7 SOC, and an 8 minute MTTR.

Red Canary
No

Do not have their own Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution. Instead, their Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service integrates with a variety of EDR solutions.


Identity Threat Detection and Response
Huntress logo
Icon checkmark

Identity threat detection and response for M365 with human-validated alerts and SOC response.


Red Canary
No

Delivers ITDR through a blend of identity solution integrations, AI-driven detections, and real-time human threat hunting,  all built into their MDR offerings.


Security Awareness Training (SAT)
Huntress logo
Icon checkmark

Training that is simple to manage with engaging, expert-backed training content built on real-world threat intelligence to reduce human risk, while helping build a security culture.


Red Canary
No

No awareness training offering. Readiness Exercises is a learning experience platform designed to help teams continuously train for real-world cyber threats. 


SIEM and Log Management
Huntress logo
Icon checkmark

Built from the ground up to reduce the complexity and cost of log collection, analysis, and storage. Simple pricing per log source backed by our 24/7 SOC.

Red Canary
No

Security Data Lake product offers SIEM functionality. Ability to enhance MDR planned in Q2.

Testimonials

Frank DGlitch effect

“When Huntress calls, we answer because we know that’s the call that matters. We don’t have the luxury of having team members comb through logs and events all day. We need to be able to focus our attention on other priorities, and Huntress enables us to do that.”

Edward Griffin

Partner, Intelligent Technical Solutions

Frank DGlitch effect

“Huntress isn’t a ‘set it and forget it’ kind of tool; Huntress is set it and know it works, and when it finds something we’re notified. I don’t need to train my team how to look for that stuff—we have access to talent beyond what we’ve been able to bring onto our team ourselves."

Lyf Wildenberg

Co-Founder & CEO, Mytech Partners

“I sleep better when my clients are being protected with Huntress. Huntress helps us by looking for persistent footholds in a network that antivirus just doesn't catch. We're getting a lot of the benefits of a bigger EDR platform for an extremely reasonable price."

[PH] Huntress delivers everything you want from a security tool, all designed with the unique needs of outsourced IT and security teams in mind.
[PH] Phishing attempts can show up as messages from your bank, your boss, your utility providers, or even the government. One click from one user can compromise an entire network and inadvertently let hackers deploy ransomware, steal information, or worse.
[PH] The median time it takes for a user to click a link and enter information is less than 60 seconds. With a turnaround time that quick, it's no wonder phishing is one of the preferred methods used by hackers. (2024 Verizon Data Breach Report)
