Huntress Managed Detection and Response

What Huntress Managed Detection and Response is

Huntress Managed Detection and Response pairs endpoint detection and response with monitoring from Huntress’s security operations center, which operates 24/7. The SOC investigates threats, contains them, and carries out remediation on the customer’s behalf. Managed Microsoft Defender Antivirus is included with Managed EDR.

Huntress lists Windows, macOS, and Linux support, with some features varying by operating system. It can integrate with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to bring Defender alerts and telemetry into the Huntress experience. Other platform connections include pre-built integrations, an API, real-time alert webhooks, and an MCP server for plain-language account queries. Listed PSA integrations include Syncro, Kaseya BMS, HaloPSA, ConnectWise Manage, and Autotask.

Huntress says its agent can be deployed in as little as 30 minutes using its platform and pre-built deployment scripts. Its 14-day trial offers full EDR access and expert support without requiring a credit card. Managed EDR is listed from $7.99 a month per endpoint, with that example price shown for 100 endpoints. The standard plan has a 50-agent minimum commitment and a 12-month term; minimums may vary by purchasing route. Huntress describes its customers as including internal IT and security teams, managed service providers, resellers, and organizations of all sizes.
