Huntress is a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service that provides threat detection, incident response, and compliance management. When managing Windows Defender, it utilizes its built-in antivirus capabilities while adding its own layer of security to detect and respond to threats.
Huntress shares some similarities with Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) in terms of detecting and responding to threats. However, while EDR focuses more on real-time monitoring and response, MDR like Huntress provides a more comprehensive approach, including proactive threat hunting, 24/7 monitoring, and incident response services.
