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 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.
