Macs Need Security Too: Announcing Huntress Managed EDR for macOS

macOS is now the second most widely used operating system (OS) by business devices worldwide. Thanks to its seamless performance and a user base that swears by its ease and top-notch compatibility, macOS adoption has skyrocketed by 20% YoY, with predictions it might even overtake Windows by 2030. But as its popularity grows, so does the attention from the darker corners of the web. Last year alone, we saw a 100% increase in malware variants aimed at macOS, bringing its security into sharp focus. We recently covered the macOS security landscape in this webinar.

Let's face it: the old belief that Macs are more secure than Windows has become a dangerous myth. As cyber threats evolve, the need for robust, macOS-specific defenses has become critical. That's where we step in, with our game-changing Huntress Managed EDR for macOS.

Not Just Another macOS Solution

We get it—there are heaps of endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions claiming macOS compatibility. But here's the thing: most just slap their Windows methods onto macOS and call it a day. That's like applying the rules of baseball to cricket. While both games involve bats and balls, the skills, strategies, and rules are fundamentally different, requiring a tailored approach to each. At Huntress, we've gone back to the drawing board, crafting a solution that truly understands and integrates with the macOS ecosystem.
