Huntress: Enterprise-grade security, built for every business

We’re excited to share that NewView Capital has led a tender offer for Huntress, the unified managed security platform for businesses of all sizes.

Huntress

A business was minutes away from losing access to critical systems when Huntress detected ransomware, isolated the infected devices, and stopped the attack before encryption began. Within 15 minutes, what could have been weeks of downtime and millions in losses was contained to a single day of recovery.

Huntress is a unified, managed cybersecurity platform that protects businesses with enterprise-grade defense, combining advanced automation and 24/7 human threat hunting.

Stories like this play out frequently across Huntress’ base of more than 200,000 businesses, 4 million endpoints, and 8 million identities.1 And although breaches of Fortune 1000 company dominate headlines, the real front lines of cybercrime are every other business, which are attacked more often than larger enterprises.2 In fact, 94% of these businesses experienced at least one cyberattack, and 78% are concerned that a severe incident could drive them out of operation.3 Sophisticated threat actors exploit the fact that businesses that fall below the Fortune 1000 often lack the resources to defend against complex attacks. As a result, hackers have expanded their scope beyond the biggest enterprises and are increasingly targeting down market, where the impact of a breach can be just as devastating.

Huntress was founded with a simple but urgent mission: protect the companies that larger security vendors overlook. By combining advanced automation with a 24/7 team of elite threat hunters, Huntress delivers enterprise-grade protection at a price and level of complexity suited to the other 99% of businesses.

“I wanted to make a global impact. For us, it is all about protecting the companies that have been ignored.”

Protecting the 99%

There are several enterprise security vendors who provide robust, powerful tooling. However, in speaking with customers, we consistently heard that these platforms are too noisy, with a very high rate of false positives, complex, and expensive for those that fall below the Fortune 1000. Huntress took a different approach: starting with managed solutions designed specifically for businesses of all sizes. For this 99%, simplicity and effectiveness matter more than complex features. Huntress pairs automation with an AI-assisted 24/7 SOC of elite researchers and analysts to deliver enterprise-grade protection that actually works. This human-in-the-loop model stands out in a world of “bring your own IT team” offerings and is the type of service-enabled business we love to support at NewView.

Moreover, Huntress is well-suited for the managed service provider (MSP) ecosystem. With multi-tenancy, pooled licensing, and integrations that fit how MSPs operate, Huntress makes enterprise-grade security accessible to businesses of all sizes. From our many customer calls, partners consistently praise the platform for “just working” – deploying in minutes, producing minimal false positives, and providing clear, actionable remediation guidance. For many MSPs, Huntress isn’t optional. As one MSP put it, “We made Huntress part of our minimum security stack. We won’t onboard a client without it.”

That simplicity is matched by loyalty: Huntress boasts a near-tribal following in the MSP community, reflected in its 4.9/5 rating on G2 and consistently positive feedback on online forums. Beyond offering a great product, Huntress has earned deep trust by frequently publishing the latest ransomware research and releasing tools to the community. These resources are available to all MSPs, whether or not they are a Huntress customer, demonstrating a commitment to stopping hackers above all else.

Expanding to the enterprise

Building on their early success in SMB security, Huntress is now expanding their reach to larger, enterprise customers. The result is a platform powerful enough to meet the security needs of large organizations, while remaining simple and affordable enough for MSPs protecting SMBs.

Over the last two years Huntress has evolved from a single-product EDR company into a multi-product security platform, rolling out three important new products: 

These additions meaningfully expand Huntress’ addressable market while enabling customers to consolidate more of their security spend with a trusted partner.

Huntress has begun to see strong traction beyond its SMB and MSP roots. What started as a purpose-built managed EDR for resource-constrained organizations has evolved into a feature-rich, multi-product platform now used by large enterprises. These upmarket customers, who typically purchase best-of-breed solutions, are selecting Huntress for its unmatched combination of automation, human expertise, and affordability. Few cybersecurity companies manage to serve both SMBs and large enterprises effectively. Yet Huntress is proving it can do both, expanding from the hardest-to-reach SMBs through MSPs to winning direct enterprise accounts with its unified, managed platform.

Their numbers reflect this success: Huntress crossed the $175 million ARR mark in 2025 and is seeing significant growth from new product launches, including ITDR and SIEM, a proofpoint that Huntress has earned the right to serve not just SMBs, but the broader market.1

What’s next

Few cybersecurity companies have managed to combine best-in-class growth and efficiency with cult-like customer loyalty — and that’s exactly why we invested in Huntress. At NewView, we back companies that turn differentiated missions into durable performance, and Huntress exemplifies that balance.

We see a platform with momentum. Huntress has evolved from a single-product EDR vendor into a multi-product security suite, tightly integrated with managed oversight. Guided by customer needs, the company’s roadmap calls for new offerings each year, adding new growth vectors to an already expanding business.

Just as importantly, Huntress embodies the kind of culture we want to back: mission-driven, community-focused, and built on trust with great leadership. Their commitment to ‘wrecking hackers’ while lifting up the MSP ecosystem and protecting the 99% aligns perfectly with our belief that enduring companies earn the right to grow.

That’s why we’re excited to partner with Kyle, Chris, Maria and the Huntress team as they scale to protect millions of businesses and, in doing so, redefine cybersecurity for the companies that need it most.
