Huntress vs Cynet

Managed Detection & Response

Fully managed MDR with human-validated alerts, investigation, and response. Analysts handle detection and escalation end-to-end.

Cynet

Automated-first XDR platform with MDR support via CyOps, requiring customer tuning and workflow management.

Expertise

Expert threat hunters; not just monitoring but interpreting and acting on your behalf.

Cynet

Heavy Reliance on automation and MDR support as an option.

24/7 SOC Coverage

Dedicated 24/7 SOC that acts as an extension of your team across all modules.

Cynet

Global SOC supports the platform, but core detection relies heavily on automated analytics.

Operational Simplicity

Low-noise alerts, human context, and predictable outcomes without security engineering effort.

Cynet

Broad feature set increases operational complexity and tuning requirements.

Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR)

Purpose-built ITDR focused on identity attack tradecraft with human validation and guided response.

Cynet

Identity telemetry and correlation as part of XDR, without a dedicated ITDR discipline.

SIEM & Log Analysis

Managed SIEM designed for clarity, investigation, and compliance without tuning overhead.

Cynet

SIEM-style correlation within XDR, requiring configuration and ongoing management.

Security Awareness Training (SAT)

Native SAT with phishing simulations and behavior-driven reporting, backed by threat intelligence.

Cynet

No native security awareness training offering.

All-in-One Platform

Purpose-built managed platform that is focused on detecting real-world attacker tradecraft as it is actively used, with continuous detection engineering, human validation, and response tuned to current adversary behavior rather than generic coverage.

Cynet

Broad XDR platform that consolidates endpoint, network, identity, and log telemetry into a single interface, best suited for teams that are prepared to manage, tune, and interpret large volumes of security data on their own.

A Multi-Layer Security Solution

Get Security Outcomes, Not Just a Platform

Enterprise-grade technology, delivered as a service

Huntress combines purpose-built technology with a 24/7 SOC and threat experts who investigate, validate, and respond to threats. Customers receive only alerts that matter, not raw telemetry or automated noise.

Human expertise is built in

Threat researchers, hunters, SOC analysts, and responders are part of the service, not an add-on. This reduces false positives, accelerates response, and removes the burden of security operations from internal teams.

Fully-managed, 24/7 Coverage

Huntress manages and monitors EDR, ITDR, SIEM, and SAT continuously. Customers know what to expect when an alert fires and who is accountable when it does.

The Huntress Managed Security Platform

What people are saying about Huntress Managed EDR

[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)
