The Huntress Agent is a lightweight endpoint agent designed to collect forensic data and telemetry for threat detection and response. It integrates with Huntress' Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) to gather process event data, identify persistent malware, and detect ransomware through features like Ransomware Canaries. The agent also works with Microsoft Defender for enhanced threat detection and is monitored by Huntress' 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) to identify and respond to threats. Additionally, it supports automated playbooks for incident response and can isolate infected hosts to prevent threat spread. The agent is deployed through RMM tools and provides actionable insights to reduce cybersecurity response efforts.
