Today’s cyber-attacks aren’t limited to large organizations with the security tools that can ward off threats. Hackers don't discriminate and will find a way to penetrate any vulnerability in any size business.

Huntress enables IT providers and resellers to stop hidden threats that sneak past preventive security tools.

Through a combination of expert human threat hunters, a comprehensive platform, and a desire to make the world a safer place, we’re working to deliver cybersecurity to the 99%—those small to midsize businesses that make up the backbone of our economy.

GROWTH STRATEGY

Welcome to the team

“When I started my own business, I never wanted to work for someone else ever again — and yet here I am at Huntress,” said Senior Threat Research and Cyber SME Greg Ake. The decision to let his EDR company, Level Effect, get acquired in 2020 came down to a sense of trust, he said. “The transparency, mission and proven track record of the company alleviated any concern of relinquishing the project,” Ake continued. ”Knowing what Huntress is trying to do, what we are capable of and who is involved in these endeavors, you can bring about real change and understand where everybody’s at.”

We don’t have any of the gatekeeping you get with a traditional bureaucracy. Everyone understands what the goal is.

PURPOSE DRIVEN

Behind enemy lines

A developer with more than 10 years of experience working in digital forensics and incident response, Jamie Levy is happiest when her day job encompasses both development and investigative work. The Director of R&D relishes her position as an ally for the 99 percent, leaving her previous role away from enemy lines to aid in Huntress’ mission. “I felt like I needed to get back to chasing the bad guys,” Levy said. “Working at Huntress gives me the perfect opportunity to build things while also giving smaller companies the tools they need to survive.”

There’s something to be said for being scrappy and protecting companies that need help.
