Why We Use Huntress to Keep You Safe

At Mercury Maynard, our job is to help clients stay secure without overcomplicating things. Cyber threats are getting smarter, and traditional antivirus tools are no longer enough on their own. That is why we use Huntress.

Huntress is a threat detection and response platform designed for small to medium-sized organisations. It runs quietly in the background, constantly watching for signs that something is not right. That could be suspicious behaviour on a machine, unauthorised access or a hidden backdoor left behind by an attacker. If it spots something, it does not just raise a vague alarm. It explains what is happening and gives clear steps to fix it. In most cases, we handle the issue before it becomes a real problem.

Here is why Huntress works so well for our clients:

1. It Finds What Antivirus Misses

Standard antivirus software has its place, but it often relies on matching known threats. Huntress looks at behaviour and tactics instead. That means it can detect new or more subtle attacks that traditional tools might overlook.

2. Real Experts Review the Alerts

One of the main benefits of Huntress is that human analysts review what the system picks up. This helps cut out false alarms. If something serious is going on, we know it is genuine and needs attention.

3. It Strengthens Security Without Adding Complexity

Huntress fits neatly into the systems we already manage. It does not slow anything down or add unnecessary steps. It just adds a strong extra layer of protection in the background.

4. Fast, Clear Responses When Needed

When a threat is confirmed, Huntress gives a full breakdown. We see what happened, how it happened and how to fix it. That means we can respond quickly and effectively. In some cases, Huntress will even isolate the affected machine straight away to stop the spread.

5. It Matches How We Work

We choose tools that do their job properly and keep things straightforward. Huntress fits that approach. It helps us deliver reliable, focused protection without making life harder for the people we support.
