What Huntress does
Huntress Labs Incorporated is a privately held cybersecurity company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, that delivers a managed security platform purpose-built for small and mid-sized businesses and the managed service providers (MSPs) serving them. Its portfolio comprises Managed EDR (with purpose-built Linux, macOS, and Windows agents), Managed ITDR for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, Managed SIEM, Managed Security Awareness Training (evolved from the 2022 Curricula acquisition), and the newer Managed ISPM and Managed ESPM posture modules (launched March 2026 from the Inside Agent acquisition). All products are backed by a 24/7 AI-assisted Security Operations Center staffed by former NSA cyber operators and CVE Numbering Authority-credentialed researchers; together the platform protects 250,000+ organizations, 5M+ endpoints, and 12M+ identities globally.
The platform is delivered through a hybrid go-to-market: a self-serve free trial and inside-sales demo motion for direct mid-market buyers, plus a multi-tier channel ecosystem of MSPs, resellers, and distributors (Ingram Micro, Vertosoft, QBS Software, Dicker Data, Sherweb, Liquid PC, Microsoft Marketplace). Revenue is recurring subscription-based, priced per endpoint, per identity, or per seat, with predictable billing and no public list pricing. The company also derives incremental economics from a no-deductible joint cyber insurance program with Acrisure (May 2026) and from CMMC-compliance partnerships for defense contractors.
Huntress has scaled rapidly, reporting 543% revenue growth over three years (Deloitte Fast 500 #149, 2025), reaching a $3 billion valuation by April 2026, and raising a $150 million Series D in June 2024 led by Kleiner Perkins, Meritech, and Sapphire Ventures. The company employs 501–1,000 people, operates in North America, EMEA, and ANZ, and is governed by founder-CEO Kyle Hanslovan with former Toast CEO Chris Comparato joining as the first independent board member in October 2025 — consistent with an IPO-track posture.

Huntress competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- CrowdStrike: CrowdStrike Falcon is the leading cloud-native EDR/XDR platform with an expanding MDR (CrowdStrike Falcon Complete) offering. It is a broad incumbent competing with Huntress Managed EDR/ITDR across SMB, mid-market, and enterprise.
- SentinelOne: SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint and Singularity XDR provide AI-driven endpoint protection and managed services, competing directly with Huntress Managed EDR; Huntress customer Connecting Point cited replacing SentinelOne with Huntress as a key win.
- Microsoft Defender for Endpoint: Defender for Endpoint, bundled in Microsoft 365 E3/E5, is the default incumbent in Huntress's customer environments. Huntress integrates with and layers managed SOC/ITDR on top of Defender, making it both a partner and the most direct competitive threat.
- Sophos: Sophos MDR (with Sophos Intercept X endpoint agent) is a long-standing broad incumbent in SMB/mid-market managed security, with comparable channel-led GTM and overlapping endpoint, identity, and awareness offerings.
- Secureworks: Secureworks (owned by Dell) provides Taegis XDR/MDR as a managed platform to mid-market and enterprise, overlapping with Huntress's managed SIEM/EDR positioning and serving similarly security-mature buyers.
Direct peers
- Arctic Wolf: Arctic Wolf is a direct managed security operations peer offering Managed Detection and Response, Managed Risk, and Managed Security Awareness — very comparable portfolio to Huntress's EDR/ITDR/SIEM/SAT stack, similarly focused on SMB and mid-market.
- Blackpoint Cyber: Blackpoint Cyber is a direct peer offering managed EDR and MDR services targeted at MSPs and their SMB clients — closely aligned business model, channel ecosystem, and customer segment to Huntress.
- ConnectWise (incl. Perch Security): ConnectWise offers managed SOC, SIEM, and EDR services (originally via Perch Security acquisition) targeted at MSPs. It competes head-to-head with Huntress in the MSP channel for SMB managed security services.
- eSentire: eSentire is a pure-play MDR vendor with 24/7 SOC services for mid-market and enterprise, offering comparable managed EDR/XDR capabilities and a similar human-plus-AI threat response model to Huntress.
Emerging players
- Defendify: Defendify is an emerging cybersecurity platform for SMBs bundling assessments, policies, training, and endpoint/network protection — partial overlap with Huntress's ESPM, SAT, and EDR offerings for the same underserved segment.
