Fit Secure

The challenge | Cutting through complexity to deliver trust 

Fit Secure was founded with a simple but powerful mission: put people first. From the start, they set out to shake up the traditional MSSP model, where clients often pay for security services but don’t really know how protected they are. Instead, Fit Secure took a hands-on, client-focused approach, offering full transparency and real-time results.

But to build this level of trust, they knew they’d have to adopt tools that could easily integrate into their existing stack and take on threats without burdening their operations. 

“We needed something so reliable we’d have the confidence to tell our clients, ‘We’re behind you all the way,’” says Gert-Jan Slot, co-founder of Fit Secure.

To meet their ambitious goals, Fit Secure adopted Huntress from day one. This strategic decision allowed their highly skilled team to hit the ground running right away, reducing alert fatigue, optimizing workflows, and delivering 24/7 protection to their clients without compromise.

When someone asks me the top three reasons why I trust Huntress, I can’t name one. The real answer is that I can’t think of one reason NOT to work with Huntress. It’s not just about technology; it’s the human expertise behind the scenes that makes everything work seamlessly.

The Huntress solution | Smarter tools, stronger people-powered protection 

In partnering with Huntress, Fit Secure transformed their capabilities, matching innovation with human-driven expertise. This synergy created a streamlined, tech-forward approach that’s now helping Fit Secure manage cybersecurity with speed and precision. Here’s how Huntress backs their success:

Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) gives Fit Secure clear, actionable visibility into endpoints without all the noise. Automated remediation and contextual alerts help the team respond quickly and confidently when something’s off.

Managed Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) extends protection to identities, flagging risky logins, credential misuse, and phishing attempts in real time. “Managed ITDR is non-negotiable for us,” says Slot. “It ensures enterprise-level protection without adding complexity for smaller businesses.”

Managed Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) ties everything together. By collecting logs across networks, endpoints, and cloud environments, Fit Secure gains visibility across their entire security infrastructure. Real-time monitoring across all systems strengthens their ability to detect threats and gives them unparalleled intelligence.

But the real game-changer is the Huntress 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC). Backed by real humans, not just automation, the AI-assisted SOC acts fast to investigate incidents, isolate endpoints, and guide remediation, so Fit Secure can stay focused on serving clients.

“The SOC isn’t just watching and waiting, they’re taking action,” says Slot. “They’ve become our foundation for comfort and reliability. Our clients know we’re backed by real experts, not just alerts.”

Huntress ITDR and EDR and SIEM are the perfect stack to get a 24/7 grip and 360 degree view of your IT Security stack.

Results | Redefined trust and efficiency

A big test came when a client experienced an attack where Cobalt Strike was used, a major endpoint compromise that could’ve had disastrous consequences. Huntress immediately alerted the Fit Secure team. And with the guidance of the SOC, the threat was isolated and remediated within an hour. The client experienced no downtime or damage to their operations.

“Without Huntress, that would’ve been a much tougher remediation,” says Slot. “Huntress handled it cleanly, and the client barely felt a thing.”

By automating detection, remediation, and reporting, Huntress has helped Fit Secure:

• Accelerate response times  
  During the attack where Cobalt Strike was used, Fit Secure’s team worked with Huntress to isolate and neutralize the threat within an hour. Huntress solutions are built for and managed by the SOC team, combining skilled cybersecurity pros with advanced tech. This setup makes threat detection and response smoother, giving Fit Secure’s clients fast, 24/7 protection with expert-backed support.

• Streamline operations
  The time and resources needed for Fit Secure’s team to deploy, manage, and monitor their stack dropped dramatically, freeing the team to focus on growth and high-touch client services.

• Remediate with ease
  With every incident, Huntress delivers clear, guided remediation. Because Fit Secure can move quickly and decisively, they become the heroes for their clients.

• Strengthen client trust
  Through transparent communication, powered by Huntress’ real-time alerts and expert-backed insights, Fit Secure’s clients don’t just see them as another vendor but as a strategic partner dedicated to their safety.

Backed by Huntress, Fit Secure has established itself as a leader in premium cybersecurity for Dutch businesses. This partnership highlights the power of innovation and trust in setting an MSSP apart, paving the way for sustained success for both Fit Secure and their clients well into the future.
