Huntress, a global leader in cybersecurity dedicated to protecting small and mid-sized organizations, is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Over the past decade, the company has grown from a single-product startup into a full-scale cybersecurity platform, committed to making enterprise-level security accessible to businesses that traditionally lack resources.

Since its founding, Huntress has combined purpose-built solutions with its human-led, AI-enabled Security Operations Center (SOC) to defend customers, support partners, and strengthen the wider cybersecurity community. True to its mission of “giving more than we take,” the company continues to invest in education, community collaboration, and industry-wide partnerships.

“Building Huntress has been an incredible journey, but what makes me proudest is that we’ve never lost sight of why we started—to disrupt the hackers who prey on the backbone of our global economy,” said Kyle Hanslovan, CEO and Co-founder of Huntress. “With 600 teammates behind this mission, the next decade is full of opportunity, but also challenge. Cybercriminals are advancing rapidly, and we have to push even harder to stay ahead.”

A Decade of Rising Cyber Threats

The cybersecurity landscape has shifted unexpectedly in the past ten years. Threat actors now operate like businesses, working together and leveraging advanced tools to scale attacks. Credential theft, business email compromise, ransomware, and infostealer campaigns have surged, disproportionately targeting organizations with fewer defenses.

Huntress’ Impact So Far

Throughout these challenges, Huntress has established itself as a trusted defender and educator:

  • Rapid Response to Major Attacks: The company has been among the first to analyze and share guidance on incidents like MOVEit, SolarWinds, Microsoft Exchange, Log4Shell, Qakbot, and others—helping organizations respond faster and limit damage.

  • Community Education: Initiatives such as Tradecraft Tuesday webinars, Capture the Flag events, and in-depth blogs have provided hands-on learning about attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures.
  • Public-Private Collaboration: Huntress joined the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC) and signed the Secure by Design pledge, reinforcing its commitment to building inherently secure solutions.
  • Strategic Partnerships: This year, Huntress announced a collaboration with Microsoft to extend cybersecurity protections to organizations of all sizes.

“Hackers are collaborating and harnessing AI to make their attacks smarter and faster,” Hanslovan added. “That’s why cybersecurity companies, government, and the broader community need to unite and innovate together. Partnership isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the key to tipping the balance in our favor.”

Growth and Innovation

From its beginnings as a single-product company, Huntress has raised $300M in funding from leading venture capital firms including Forgepoint Capital, JMI Equity, Kleiner Perkins, Meritech Capital, and Sapphire Ventures. Huntress safeguards more than 4 million endpoints and 6.7 million identities across 200,000 organizations.

  • Its expanded portfolio includes:
  • Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
  • Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR)
  • Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
  • Security Awareness Training
    —all backed by a 24/7 AI-assisted SOC.

“From day one, our mission has been to give every business the ability to defend itself without the prohibitive costs,” said Chris Bisnett, CTO and Co-founder of Huntress. “That’s why we’ve invested equally in technology and in education. It’s not just our business strategy—it’s part of who we are.”
