Our take
In a world of increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats, many organizations lack the resources and expertise to defend themselves effectively. Huntress has stepped in to address this gap, delivering robust cybersecurity solutions to protect a wide range of businesses and institutions across the US business landscape.
The company offers a managed security platform, which third party resellers leverage to protect their clients from attacks. Launched in 2015, Huntress has grown well over the years, attracting plenty of investment and expanding its headcount into the hundreds.
More recently, Huntress has turned its eye to acquisitions and new product launches, as well as major international expansion. A considerable influx of funding will support these initiatives, as well as allow the company to maintain sales momentum by expanding its go-to-market efforts.
