Huntress

Huntress is a managed detection and response platform built for the threats that get past antivirus: persistent footholds, ransomware staging, and identity compromise on Microsoft 365 tenants. Trucell deploys Huntress for Australian organisations as part of managed security services, with 24x7 monitoring from the Huntress security operations centre tied into the rest of the Trucell escalation runbook.

The modules we deploy: Huntress Managed EDR for behavioural detection on Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints; Huntress Managed ITDR (Identity Threat Detection and Response) for Microsoft 365 mailbox compromise, suspicious login geography, MFA bypass, and rule-based forwarding abuse; Huntress Managed Security Information and Event Management for log correlation; and Huntress Security Awareness Training for phishing simulation and human-layer controls.

What Trucell does on top of the install: agent deployment via NinjaOne or Intune, baseline tuning so legitimate clinical and engineering software does not generate alerts, integration with Microsoft Defender XDR and Entra ID conditional access where you already use those platforms, and a single escalation path so a Huntress critical alert reaches the same Trucell engineer who runs your firewall, identity, and backup.

Huntress fits beside CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, or Microsoft Defender XDR in mixed estates. Common Trucell deployments combine Huntress ITDR with an alternate endpoint EDR where the customer wants identity-layer coverage from the Huntress SOC plus endpoint coverage from another vendor for redundancy and tender alignment.
