Huntress Managed EDR

Huntress Managed EDR is an endpoint detection and response service built for companies without a large security team. Huntress runs a 24/7 security operations center whose analysts review what its AI-assisted system flags before it ever reaches you. It watches for hidden footholds, ransomware, and unusual process behavior across Windows, macOS, and Linux devices. When it finds something real, the Huntress team investigates and hands you clear next steps, or takes action directly if you allow it. It can also manage Microsoft Defender Antivirus for you at no added cost. Huntress reports a false positive rate under 1 percent, an average response time of about 8 minutes, and more than 5 million protected endpoints today.

This fits a company with no in-house SOC and only a small IT or security staff, giving that team 24/7 coverage without hiring night-shift analysts. A simple starting point is rolling it out to one office or device group first and expanding from there. Pricing lists at about 9 dollars per endpoint per month, with volume pricing for larger counts; treat this as a planning figure and confirm current pricing with Huntress. Two risks: Huntress focuses on endpoints, so you may still need separate tools for email or cloud app security, and because a human team reviews findings before some actions, response can be a few minutes slower than a fully automated tool. That is a fair trade for the low false positive rate.
