Foothold detection is a valuable feature, acting as a valuable second set of eyes for both us and our clients. However, what truly convinced us to make it a core part of our security stack, instead of just deploying it selectively based on specific needs, was Huntress' introduction of Managed AV. This allowed us to replace our basic antivirus solution often Windows Defender for our predominantly Windows environment with a more robust option managed by Huntress. Managed AV essentially made Huntress our new baseline antivirus, replacing Windows Defender, while still allowing us to utilize premium solutions like SentinelOne for specific situations. Ultimately, this shift enabled us to expand our footprint from around 400-500 machines to an impressive 4,600.
