Learn More About Huntress
There’s no catch. Huntress is built for under‑resourced IT and security teams, so our cost structure, delivery model, and go‑to‑market are all optimized for efficiency at scale. We pass those savings on to you.
Enterprise platforms like CrowdStrike and SentinelOne are priced and packaged for large organizations with in‑house SOCs, which often means you’re paying for overhead and features you don’t actually need.
Most traditional antivirus tools only stop known, signature‑based threats. Most EDRs generate a lot of alerts that still require a human to investigate and respond.
Huntress gives you both: purpose‑built detection plus a 24/7 human SOC that triages, investigates, and responds on your behalf. We typically run alongside your existing stack during a trial so you can compare what we catch before you change anything.
For most environments, yes. We cover the same core outcomes: 24/7 monitoring, threat detection, investigation, and response.
If you’re paying for an enterprise EDR license, an MDR add‑on, and separate professional services for incident response, Huntress consolidates that into a single, more affordable, fully managed package.
We integrate with Microsoft, not against it. Huntress works alongside Microsoft Defender to unlock more value from what you already own.
We extend Microsoft’s tooling with:
- 24/7, human‑led investigation and response
- Persistent foothold detection and remediation guidance
- Identity threat monitoring for Microsoft 365 and Entra
So instead of choosing “Defender or Huntress,” you use Defender plus Huntress to get better outcomes with less effort.
Yes. Huntress gives you documented 24/7 monitoring, incident response, remediation support, and audit‑ready reporting. Those are core elements most cyber insurance carriers and frameworks (like SOC 2, HIPAA, and CMMC) look for.
Huntress won’t make you fully compliant by itself, but we help you satisfy many of the technical and monitoring controls that show up on those checklists and provide evidence when you’re working with auditors or assessors.
Our SOC analysts review every alert before it reaches you. Across millions of endpoints, our incident report false positive rate is consistently under 1% — because we don’t believe in alert fatigue.
If we surface something, it’s been human‑validated and is worth your attention.
Those tools are powerful, but they’re usually built and priced for large, in‑house security teams. You may still need to tune policies, chase alerts, and staff people who know the platform inside and out.
Huntress is different: we combine our Managed EDR with a 24/7 human‑led SOC that does the investigation and response for you.
Many teams turn to Huntress when they’re tired of noise, complexity, and premium pricing designed for the Fortune 500, even if their current EDR is technically solid.
