Cybersecurity has come a long way in the past decade. Traditional security tools like firewalls and antivirus software used to be able to keep attackers at bay. Today’s threat actors are smarter, more patient, and sneakier than ever. They can infiltrate your environment and stay hidden for months while collecting data, just waiting for the perfect moment to strike. In fact, according to Infosecurity Magazine, the average dwell time, which is the period an attacker remains undetected in a network, fell to eight days in the first half of 2023. Ransomware attacks had an average dwell time of just five days.

While traditional cybersecurity tools generate alerts, they leave already stretched-thin IT teams to handle the investigation. This is where Huntress for IT teams shifts the game. We don’t just alert, we hunt. 

By combining advanced technology with expert analysis, Huntress breach prevention becomes an extension of your team, providing proactive solutions to identify and eliminate threats before the damage occurs. See how IT teams use Huntress to change the security equation in this video.

24/7 SOC

Most breaches happen when your IT team is off-duty, after hours, or on the weekend. Cybercriminals don’t take holidays off either. Huntress for IT teams offers round-the-clock monitoring from expert SOC analysts who actively search for what others miss. 

Managed EDR: Real humans equal real action

Attackers don’t just show up, cause a ruckus, and leave. They dig in deep, setting up backdoors and traps to make sure they can return when needed. These hidden persistence mechanisms are the sneaky little backdoors that most security tools miss. MITRE ATT&CK documents over 20 different persistence techniques attackers use to maintain unauthorized access. Huntress specializes in rooting out these persistent threats and makes sure they’re gone for good, so you don’t end up with a repeat offender.

Cybersecurity today needs to go beyond protecting endpoints. Huntress understands this evolution and has an arsenal to cover the entire attack surface. Here’s how:

Ransomware canaries: The tripwires you need in your system

Imagine setting a trap to catch a thief before he can steal your stuff. That’s what ransomware canaries do. These little digital tripwires are scattered around your environment, and when ransomware tries to start encrypting files, the canaries go off, giving you a heads-up so you can cut it off before it spreads. IBM’s 2023 Cost of a Data Breach Report states that organizations that detected the breach on their own saved nearly $1 million in costs compared to those where the breach was revealed by an attacker. Now that’s what we call a canary that knows how to sing!

ITDR: Identity Threat Detection and Response

We all know identity is the new perimeter. Microsoft’s Digital Defense Report 2023 reveals that more than 99% of identity attacks are password-based. The Huntress Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) solution watches for signs that someone is trying to misuse your credentials or change permissions. We target this attack vector by spotting subtle identity-based threats.

Post-exploitation detection: Keeping the threat actors out 

The real Huntress difference is not the tech. It’s the people. The real experts behind the software know how to tackle both the tech side and the human side of a breach. They're not just monitoring. They’re helping you and your IT team respond and get your systems back on track.
