Recognized second consecutive year for delivering 24/7 protection against identity-focused tradecraft, including business email compromise (BEC) and account takeover (ATO) attacks
Columbia, MD - December 2, 2024 — Huntress, the cybersecurity company dedicated to protecting and empowering businesses that enterprise vendors overlook, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized Huntress’ Managed ITDR as the 2024 Products of the Year Awards winner in the Managed Detection and Response category.
Identities have become a primary target for hackers hunting for unauthorized access to systems and sensitive information. As endpoints have become more secure, it has become increasingly challenging for threat actors to operate in these environments for extended periods. In response to this, many hackers are diversifying their methods and focusing on stolen credentials and hijacked sessions.
Protecting more than a million identities, Huntress Managed ITDR addresses the critical gap in solutions that protect small enterprises, outsourced IT services, and in-house IT teams against identity-focused tradecraft. The managed, multi-layered platform secures Microsoft 365 identities and email environments. Huntress continuously monitors hackers' methods and incorporates feedback from partners and customers to introduce new capabilities, such as Unwanted Access, which wrecks hackers by shutting down the primary ways they take over accounts: session hijacking and credential theft.
“Small and mid-sized enterprises make up 99% of all businesses in the United States, and over 11 million rely on Microsoft 365 to run their business. Huntress detects more than 2,000 suspected credential attacks each week. Just one set of stolen employee credentials can allow an attacker to gain access to systems, lock out employees, shut down services, or steal data to sell on the dark web,” said Erin Meyers, Principal Product Marketing Manager for Huntress. “We created this product to protect businesses that use Microsoft 365 from these types of attacks. Ranking number one for the second consecutive year validates the work we have put into protecting a market that is the foundation of our global economy.”
