Part of the Athencia Stack
Huntress layers on top of Microsoft Defender to provide defense in depth. While Defender blocks known threats, Huntress catches sophisticated attacks that slip through. Their SOC monitors your environment 24/7 and escalates real incidents to us for immediate response.
Huntress FAQs
What's the difference between Huntress and Microsoft Defender?
Defender is your first line of defense—it blocks known malware and suspicious behavior automatically. Huntress adds a layer of human threat hunting on top. Their SOC analysts investigate anything that looks suspicious and catch sophisticated attacks that automated tools miss.
What happens when Huntress finds something?
Their SOC investigates and determines if it's a real threat. If action is needed, they isolate the affected device automatically and notify us immediately. We coordinate the response with you and handle remediation.
Does Huntress slow down our computers?
No. Huntress runs as a lightweight agent alongside Defender. Most users never notice it's there. The heavy lifting happens in the cloud.
