What we hear
about antivirus
"We've got antivirus. Isn't that enough?"
It catches files it has seen before. An attacker logging in with a stolen password, or using tools already built into Windows, walks straight past it.
"It keeps telling me I'm not protected."
The trial that came with the laptop wants a credit card, and nobody’s sure it’s doing anything else.
"Our insurer asked if we have EDR."
Cyber insurance forms ask for it by name now. “We’ve got Norton” doesn’t tick the box.
"Who's watching at 2am on a Sunday?"
Attacks don’t wait for business hours. If the only alert lands in an inbox nobody checks, it gets found on Monday.
On every computer we manage
Installed and looked after by us, with a security team behind it around the clock.
Huntress Managed EDR
A lightweight agent that watches how each computer behaves, so it catches an attacker using legitimate tools, not just files it already knows are bad.
A person checks every alert
Huntress runs a 24/7 human-led security operations centre. An analyst reviews every alert before it reaches us, so what we get is a confirmed problem, not a maybe.
Threats contained fast
For a confirmed threat, Huntress can cut the computer off from the network, stop the malicious process and remove what the attacker left behind, without waiting for anyone to wake up.
Microsoft Defender, managed properly
Defender is built into Windows. Huntress manages its settings, scans and exclusions, and we make sure it’s switched on and healthy on every Windows machine.
Then it's over to us
Once something’s contained, we clean up, close the gap that let it in, and tell you what happened in plain English.
Ticks the insurance box
EDR is one of the first things cyber insurers and Essential Eight assessments ask about. We can show them what’s in place.
When something gets caught
Spotted
The agent flags behaviour that looks like an attacker: odd logins, Windows tools being misused, something setting itself up to survive a restart.
Checked by a person
A Huntress analyst investigates. False alarms stop there, so nobody gets woken up for nothing.
Contained
If it’s real, the computer can be cut off from the network and the malicious process stopped.
Cleaned up and explained
We get a detailed report of what happened, handle the clean-up, and let you know what it means for you.
Isolated before
anything could happen
Huntress picked up suspicious activity on a client’s computer and isolated it from the network before anything could happen. Its analysts sent us a detailed report in real time, so we could see exactly what had been going on.
