William Garner is the Vice President of IT at East Coast Metal Distributors, a wholesale distributor for the HVAC industry. Driven by the company’s strong dedication to cybersecurity, William is responsible for ensuring both his team and the company’s IT systems are up to date on the latest trends and protected against today’s determined cybercriminals.
To augment their in-house capabilities, East Coast’s IT team works with Logically, a provider of outsourced IT services. William’s team continuously looks for new ways to improve their ability to detect and respond to threats. When Logically introduced them to Huntress, a managed detection and response platform that can find and stop hackers that are hiding in plain sight, it seemed to be a perfect fit.
“We were focused on creating and layering our security barriers; we never stopped to think about what happens when those preventive tools fall short,” explains William. “The concept of intrusion detection on the endpoint and catching the threats that will slip through is so unique—that’s why I see Huntress not only as a complement to our outer layers but as a true innovation.”
With a simple and non-intrusive installation, Huntress was deployed on East Coast’s systems—and right in the nick of time.
