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.

2. Tailored macOS Threat Detections: Not all threats are created equal, especially on macOS. That's why our managed EDR service isn't just casting a wide net, it's precision-engineered. Backed by a team of devs dedicated to macOS, we're crafting threat detection that's as unique as the landscape of macOS itself, so we can identify those crafty attackers that try to sneak by.
3. macOS Trained Threat Hunters: Our managed EDR isn't just about algorithms and automated responses—we've got real humans in the mix.
