Huntress is a managed cybersecurity platform and service provider focused on protecting organizations of all sizes against modern cyber threats through a combination of endpoint security, identity protection, log analysis, security awareness training, and security posture management. Its services are delivered through a unified platform that is backed by a 24/7, AI-centric security operations center (SOC) staffed by security analysts and threat hunters who continuously monitor customer environments, investigate suspicious activity, and oversee remediation.

The platform is built around several core managed products. Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (Managed EDR) provides continuous monitoring and response for workstations, servers, and other endpoints. This service focuses on detecting malicious activity, persistent footholds, ransomware behaviors, and other endpoint-based threats, then coordinating response actions from initial alert through full remediation. Managed Identity Threat Detection and Response (Managed ITDR) concentrates on identity-based risks, especially in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace environments. It is designed to identify and stop account takeovers, business email compromise, unauthorized logins, and identity misuse by analyzing authentication events, session tokens, and related signals.

Managed Security Information and Event Management (Managed SIEM) offers log collection, threat detection, and compliance-focused retention and reporting. This service captures security-relevant data from multiple sources, filters out non-essential information, and provides search, alerting, and long-term storage to support incident investigations and regulatory or insurance requirements. Managed SIEM is positioned to reduce the complexity typically associated with traditional SIEM deployments by having the Huntress SOC team administer and tune the system on behalf of customers.

Human risk is addressed through Managed Security Awareness Training (Managed SAT). This service supplies curated training modules and simulated phishing exercises built on current threat intelligence. The content is professionally produced and aimed at engaging employees so that they complete assignments and internalize security best practices. Huntress manages the training program end-to-end, including scheduling, reminders, and ongoing updates, freeing administrators from much of the program management overhead.

Huntress also focuses on security posture management. Managed Identity Security Posture Management (Managed ISPM) continually audits configurations, permissions, and policies in Microsoft 365 to find misconfigurations, overly permissive access, and configuration drift that could expose attack paths. It then guides or applies remediation to close those gaps. Endpoint Security Posture Management (Managed ESPM), offered through early access, aims to harden endpoint devices by improving configuration baselines, controlling applications, and reducing vulnerabilities to limit the overall attack surface.

In addition to these core services, Huntress publishes and maintains resources related to specific threat types and scenarios. The platform and related materials highlight defenses against ransomware, business email compromise, adversary-in-the-middle attacks that target multifactor authentication, phishing campaigns, and rogue OAuth applications used to maintain persistence or steal data. Huntress documents real-world incidents and attack case studies involving various industries and regions, illustrating how its SOC and platform respond to and contain intrusions.

Visitors to the Huntress website can learn about each managed product, review technical and business-oriented descriptions, read customer testimonials, access solution and threat guides, and explore detailed case studies of past incidents that the Huntress team has investigated and mitigated. The site hosts resources such as endpoint detection and response guides, ransomware guides, and business email compromise guides that explain how these threats operate and how organizations can structure defenses. There are also blog posts, research articles, and threat analyses produced by Huntress’s adversary tactics and SOC teams.

Typical use cases include small and midsize businesses and larger organizations seeking enterprise-grade cyber protection without building a large in-house security team, managed service providers looking to expand their security offerings to clients, and organizations needing support with compliance readiness, such as those preparing for frameworks like CMMC. Customers may use Huntress to monitor endpoints and identities continuously, to improve email and collaboration security, to provide ongoing user training, and to demonstrate security controls to regulators, customers, or insurers.

The access and pricing model for the Huntress platform is generally subscription-based, with individual products priced according to units relevant to their function. Managed EDR is priced per protected endpoint, Managed ITDR per identity (particularly licensed Microsoft 365 identities), Managed SIEM per data source, and Managed SAT per active learner. Security posture management services have their own unit-based pricing structures. Huntress publishes direct list pricing tiers that scale with volume, and also offers partner-oriented pricing for managed service providers who resell or include the services in their own offerings. Partner programs include criteria for MSPs to qualify for aggregate discounting and special rates based on their business focus on IT and security services.

Access to the platform typically begins with a sales or demo request, a free trial, or a pricing quote, followed by deployment of Huntress agents or integrations in the customer environment. Once deployed, customers interact with the portal to view alerts, reports, training progress, and compliance-related information, while the Huntress SOC and threat hunters manage the bulk of monitoring and response. The service is intended to deliver continuous protection that evolves with the threat landscape, while reducing the operational complexity for organizations that need reliable, managed cybersecurity.
