The Huntress Managed Security Platform
Huntress vs. Cynet FAQs
Huntress is best described as a managed security platform. Our platform brings together Managed EDR, Managed ITDR, Managed SIEM, and Managed Security Awareness Training in one dashboard, with Managed ISPM and Managed ESPM also available in Early Access.
In practice, that means we help you consolidate endpoint detection and response, identity threat detection for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, log management and threat response for compliance-driven use cases, and security awareness training under the same platform experience.
Many teams still keep their existing AV, firewall, and other specialized tools. Huntress is designed to work alongside the tools you already have rather than force an all-or-nothing rip-and-replace.
Huntress’ 24/7 SOC continuously monitors telemetry from Managed EDR, Managed ITDR, and Managed SIEM, investigates suspicious activity, and determines what is benign versus what should be escalated as a real incident.
When the product supports it and the right permissions are enabled, Huntress can take response actions such as isolating endpoints or remediating identity-based attacks. When customer action is required, Huntress provides a detailed incident report with what happened and what to do next.
For lean IT and MSP teams, Huntress offers a day-to-day experience as managed security rather than a tool your team has to operate constantly. You deploy the Huntress agent and connect data sources, then work from one dashboard to review incidents, investigations, remediation tools, and reporting.
Because the SOC investigates and screens out noise before escalation, your team is not expected to spend its day clearing raw alerts.
Huntress is built to reduce alert fatigue. On the SIEM side, Smart Filtering keeps only security-relevant log data, and across endpoint and identity coverage the SOC screens out activity that does not represent real risk before it reaches your queue.
That tuning is part of the managed service. Huntress says it continuously tunes detections as it sees new tradecraft across millions of endpoints and identities, which is how it pairs fast response with a sub-1% false positive rate for endpoint coverage.
No MDR upcharge.
Each Huntress product is sold as a fully managed service—technology plus 24/7 human-led AI-centric SOC is included.
You choose which modules you need (EDR, ITDR, SIEM, SAT, ISPM, ESPM), but each comes with continuous monitoring, investigation, and response guidance baked into the base price.
You’re deciding which security outcomes you want us to own—not how many separate platform, MDR, and IR SKUs you have to stitch together.
