In a security environment that is ever changing, the best way to stay on top of potential threats is to start throwing punches. Huntress Labs’ “collect-and-analyze” approach to active threat detection makes hackers earn every inch of their access. Working in tandem, our proprietary endpoint agent and U.S. based threat operations team significantly reduces the time to detection, allowing you to destroy malicious footholds as soon as they are created. It is an unbeatable combination: machine learning and tenured forensic security experts.

Each week, headlines highlight massive data breaches. The one thing they all have in common is the victims’ dependency on the same old layers of security. We chose to fight back and invented a proactive, innovative approach called Managed Detection and Response. 

Modern antivirus programs primarily detect malicious applications and behaviors using patterns, called heuristics and signatures, to identify known viruses. But in a threat landscape that is constantly evolving, does this strategy really work? It does…to a point. This is where Managed Detection and Response comes in. 

Our industry-leading threat hunting solution complements your existing security stack to identify new and old footholds missed by antivirus, regardless of how your computers were compromised. 

Collection. An endpoint agent collects a new type of indicator called “persistence mechanisms” from desktops, laptops, and servers. This data is then sent to our cloud-based analysis engine for deep inspection. Worried about productivity or data privacy? Do not be. The agent’s lightweight design ensures your users will not even notice that Huntress is constantly monitoring. As for your data, it is all encrypted – in transit and at rest. 

Analysis. once we receive the data, our analysis engine and threat operations team use file reputation, frequency analysis, and machine learning to quickly hunt and investigate suspicious footholds. When a threat is detected, Huntress delivers more than an alert. Your IT Staff receives step-by-step recommendations to prioritize the threat, remediate the incident and address the root cause.
