All About Huntress Endpoint Detection and Response

Posted on

Hello,

This week we’re looking at Huntress EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response).

Huntress is a modern EDR software program which works alongside your usual anti -virus/anti-malware software.

It is powerful because it does things that normal anti-virus programs don’t do, such as:

  • It checks for Persistent Footholds – software that may have been planted or left behind months ago to lay in wait to attack the network.
  • It deploys Ransomware Canaries – small lightweight files that are monitored and then can be alerted immediately on any changes.
  • It links in with (and strengthens) Microsoft Defender so it can be managed in a single portal.
  • There is an External Recon platform which checks for open ports from devices on the network, identifying any potential weakness in firewall configurations.
  • It monitors process executions on PCs and laptops to build a comprehensive view of what’s happening in detail.
  • It has a 24/7 Threat Ops team monitoring and threat hunting on your network.

Huntress also sends monthly reports which shows what has been analysed and if any incidents have been reported for the previous month.

The monthly report is interesting because it specifically covers the points above and explains them in more detail. See below example:

It is important to note the job of Huntress and similar MDR programs is to find and identify threats, then notify you and help you remediate the problem.

Threat actors are actively targeting businesses like yours, and they’re getting better at sneaking into environments undetected.

As they evolve their offence, you need to evolve your defences and Huntress is a great way to do this for less than £5 per device per month.
