Huntress Named to Inc.’s Second Annual Power Partner Awards

Recognized for helping small to medium sized businesses protect themselves from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats

ELLICOTT CITY, Md., Oct. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Huntress, the managed security platform for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and the Managed Service Providers (MSPs) that support them, today announced that it has been named an honoree on Inc. Business Media’s 2023 Power Partner Awards list.Inc. vetted thousands of companies based on the value they provide as partners to small businesses. Huntress was recognized for its proven track record of combining the power of technology with 24/7 human threat detection to protect SMBs from cybersecurity threats. In addition to Huntress’ best-in-class managed security platform, the company provides invaluable educational tools and hands-on trainings to help its customers level up their cybersecurity skills, learn how to think like hackers, and defend their customers' businesses.

“Huntress is purpose-built to demolish hackers looking to wreak havoc on SMBs,” said Kyle Hanslovan, CEO of Huntress. “These businesses are the backbone of our global economy – but don’t have the time or money for in-house teams to protect them. This award from Inc. validates that our team is succeeding in our mission to stop hackers and let SMB and MSP owners rest easy at night, knowing that Huntress has their backs.”

In a time characterized by tighter budgets, SMBs are looking for cybersecurity partners who offer top-notch, cost-effective protection against cyber threats. Huntress’ human-backed approach gives SMBs a cutting edge as 61% otherwise don’t have dedicated cybersecurity experts. Huntress’ 24/7 ThreatOps team frees partners from building an expensive internal cybersecurity function while simultaneously bridging the skills gap with a diverse group of the top incident responders worldwide.

*Explosive company growth signals hope for SMBs*
In the past year alone, Huntress has surpassed protecting more than 2 million endpoints, raised $60M in Series C funding, now supports over 115,000 organizations worldwide and just last week launched a new managed detection and response (MDR) solution for Microsoft 365 to protect SMBs against the monumental threat posed by business email compromise (BEC) attacks.

“Trusted B2B partners provide guidance and expertise that founders rely on at various steps of their organization’s journey. Partners that possess a demonstrated ability to deliver quality support are at the core of entrepreneurship and help bring big ideas to life,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. Business Media.

Huntress was also awarded for its Neighborhood Watch Program, a collection of programs and resources designed to help elevate the broader security community. The company has invested millions of dollars into the MSP community in the last year through this program and is continuing to work with partners to provide not-for-resale licenses and access to Huntress tools and education at no cost for their internal endpoints. Additionally, Huntress has invested significantly in its Partner Success team to focus on true partner enablement and product education, ensuring they get the most out of Huntress.
