help Huntress FAQ

What threats does Huntress primarily focus on detecting?

Huntress focuses on persistent, often manual threats like business email compromise (BEC) and ransomware campaigns. The platform specifically looks for suspicious privilege escalations and unauthorized software installations that automated antivirus tools often miss.

Is Huntress a traditional antivirus replacement?

Rather than replacing traditional antivirus, Huntress operates as a managed detection and response (MDR) platform that analyzes the telemetry data your existing antivirus generates. It provides a human-driven threat hunting team to investigate alerts on behalf of managed service providers (MSPs) and internal IT teams.

How does Huntress handle incident remediation?

The platform uses automated investigation workflows to contain threats and provides analysts with guided remediation procedures. If a threat like a malicious scheduled task is found, the Huntress team can often kill the process and remove the persistence mechanism directly through the dashboard.

Does Huntress work for Mac and Linux endpoints?

Yes, while historically Windows-centric, Huntress has expanded its sensor support to include macOS and Linux environments. This allows businesses to monitor their mixed-OS networks from the same cloud-native dashboard.
