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."

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."

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)
