Purpose-Built, Expert-Backed Cybersecurity
24/7 identity monitoring, session hijacking detection, malicious OAuth detection, and now AI-orchestrated investigation through Athena for both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
Microsoft 365-only detection with no endpoint agent and no Google Workspace coverage
Every detection gets reviewed by a 24/7 SOC analyst before it ever reaches you, so you act on confirmed threats, not noise
Automated SOC with limited human oversight; a fast alert isn’t the same as a validated one
Fine-grained control with access rules, travel exceptions, and alert suppression
No tuning available; one-size-fits-all approach
3-minute mean time to respond, backed by human validation — and bound by the same Microsoft audit-log delay every Microsoft 365 ITDR vendor works within
No online documented MTTR claims
We don’t just detect, we rapidly contain threats with an industry-leading 3min. MTTR
No published MTTR
Purposeful roadmap driven by customer needs and threat landscape
Frequent changes, but little evidence of real-world efficacy

Strong report polish today, but reporting alone doesn’t tell you whether what’s in it is a real incident or background noise
Athena, our AI orchestration layer, runs 14+ agents trained on Huntress data and SOPs, overseen by security experts, plus fleet-wide adversary infrastructure blocking across 60,000+ tenants
