Looking to understand your Endpoint Detection and Response options? With so many products to choose from, it can be hard to know which solutions deliver real value, especially with most EDRs not being built for the needs of small and mid-sized organizations. But authenticated reviews from companies like yours can help you know what to expect from a tool.  

Read the report drawn from up-to-date user reviews, Small-Business G2 Grid® Report for Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), to see how Huntress compares to other platforms.

• Understand how EDR fits into a security stack
• Learn about the G2 Grid® methodology
• See rankings of EDR products, including ease of doing business, quality of support, ease of use, and more.

Cyber attacks are the biggest threat to businesses like yours. Are you at risk?

New research conducted by Virtual Intelligence Briefing (VIB) reveals that 1 in 4 mid-sized businesses suffered a cyber attack or were unsure if they suffered an attack in the last 12 months.

The report, which surveyed 250+ IT professionals in mid-sized businesses, also found that many feel understaffed, under-resourced and unprepared to face today’s evolving threats. The most significant challenges include:

• 61% of respondents do not have dedicated cybersecurity experts in their organization
• 47% of respondents do not have an incident response plan
• 27% of respondents do not have cyber insurance coverage

Download the full research report to dive into where mid-sized businesses have critical gaps in both talent and tools, how cybersecurity spending and outsourcing are trending, and how businesses like yours can better defend against cyber attacks.

The teams at Huntress & DNSFilter teamed up to create a guide for MSPs on how to tailor the security conversation with their clients based on maturity. After reading, you'll feel confident answering:

• What security measures should my customers take as their business grows?
• How can I counsel my customers on security and relate it to what matters most?
• What should they prioritize when IT budgets are constrained?

Leading a quarterly business review (QBR) is a great way to reinforce the value of your products and services to your clients.

But when it comes to cybersecurity, no news is good news. So how do you communicate that in your QBR?  

To get some tried-and-true advice, we’re bringing together two experts. Join Alex Farling of Lifecycle Insights and Ethan Tancredi of Huntress as they explore:

• How to get more out of your QBRs and how to get started if you need some guidance
• How to answer the question, “we haven’t been hacked, what am I paying you for?”
• How to include the hot topic of cyber insurance into your client conversations

Mark your calendar and get ready to learn how to have meaningful QBRs that won’t leave clients wondering, “what have you done for me lately?”

It's no surprise that cyber insurance is a hot topic in the MSP community. The list of carrier requirements continues to grow, and your clients may be relying on you for advice and guidance on their policies. Andrew Meier of Huntress and Wes Spencer of FifthWall Solutions will dive deep into cyber insurance from a service provider’s perspective. We’ll share tips and insights on:

• What are cyber controls, and what this means for cyber insurance
• How carriers develop their requirements (and how to understand them)
• Why endpoint detection and response (EDR) is becoming a standard
• How to handle sales objections and illustrate the cost of a breach to your clients

As a response to the partner community's requests for increased access and control, Microsoft has changed its Delegated Admin Privileges (DAP) authentication control to Granular Delegated Admin Privileges (GDAP).

The transition is well underway.

Although Microsoft has started deprecating DAP authentication, many partners and service providers have not begun the process and still have many questions. To help ease the transition, the expert team at Huntress is here to help you navigate this change and understand the impact of this update and how you can continue to engage with your customers.

Watch an in-depth discussion as Microsoft MVPs Kelvin Tegelaar, and Nick Ross, Huntress' Dave Kleinatland and Josh Lambert provide a breakdown of GDAP and how to navigate this new security control.

During this informative webinar, we will review:

• What is GDAP and what are its capabilities
• The impact of GDAP on external integrations
• The advantages of appropriate GDAP privileges
• Steps you can take as a service provider to ensure a smooth transition
• How to adopt GDAP best practices to keep your Microsoft CSP portal secure

By watching this webinar, you will be fully armed to set up GDAP for success and get the control you need.

There’s no denying the importance of security software in today’s fight against cybercriminals—but automation and alerting is only half the battle. In this on-demand webinar, Huntress Senior Security Engineer Dave Kleinatland highlights the importance of moving beyond automation with human threat hunting—and takes an under-the-hood look at a RAT to show how IT resellers can identify and respond to modern threats.

Watch Huntress Senior Security Engineer Dave Kleinatlant dissect a RAT and highlight the importance of human threat hunting in modern cybersecurity.

You’ve added the right tools to your security stack and have checked every acronym box. But how often are you ensuring you have good cyber hygiene?

The fundamentals of cybersecurity (like MFA and least privilege) are an important part of a strong defense. You may have a basic strategy for your cyber hygiene, but when was the last time your team actually reviewed that strategy?

Watch our webinar to hear our panel of MSPs and experts as they discuss how they ensure good cyber hygiene. Our panelists will share expert tips on how often they review their plans, lessons they learned the hard way and the importance of including clients in the discussion. As an added bonus, all attendees will get a Back to Basics checklist to help you get started.

We live in a security industry where the best mindset is to assume compromise. The hackers are already inside our network—but then what happens? In some cases, they might exfiltrate data or run post-exploitation with their C2 or “Command and Control” access.

In this session, we’ll explore artifacts from a real security incident where evidence of a hacker’s custom C2 framework was left behind. Watch as we pull back the curtain and highlight how this threat actor maintained their access and controlled their victims—and why understanding the offense can help you bolster your defense.

The proliferation of security tools and solutions has exploded over the past years. Costly ransomware and supply chain attacks have placed significant losses on insurance companies resulting in massive premium increases and in many cases, large reductions in coverage limits.  Cyber insurance questionnaires have become the unregulated “regulator” leaving many businesses and MSPs wondering, do I have the “right” security controls and processes in place?

Sounil Yu has built a model, the Cyber Defense Matrix, that helps to answer that essential question; do I have gaps in my security stack and how can I easily spot what they are?

Join Sounil and Garrett Gross of Huntress to dive into how to understand and apply the Cyber Defense Matrix. During this webinar you will learn:

• What threats face small and mid-market businesses today
• How to approach building a security program that addresses the most common ways threat actors attack
• How the Cyber Defense Matrix helps you understand your current capabilities and identify gaps so you can fortify your defenses
