ELLICOTT CITY, Md., Jan. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Huntress, the managed security platform for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and the managed service providers that support them, today announced it has joined the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC).
JCDC unites the global cyber community in the collective defense of cyberspace. JCDC participants include service providers, infrastructure operators, cybersecurity companies, companies across critical infrastructure sectors, and subject matter experts (SMEs) who collectively work together to enable synchronized cybersecurity planning, cyber defense, and response.
As a member, Huntress brings a world-class threat operations team, its 24/7 Security Operations Center, and its managed EDR and MDR for Microsoft 365 technology to deliver timely knowledge of critical vulnerabilities, hacker tradecraft, and large-scale exploitation, to help protect businesses from cyberattacks.
“Huntress’ real-time threat analysis is what has made us a hacker’s worst enemy and what will make us a smart partner for JCDC,” said Kyle Hanslovan, CEO of Huntress. “Great technology is critical, but having a diverse team of qualified threat analysts tracking and predicting adversaries’ every move is what makes Huntress stand out. Our deep threat expertise is what allows us to fiercely protect SMBs and we’re thrilled to be able to share our trove of knowledge with JCDC to develop actionable solutions to create a more secure world.”
Huntress’ threat intelligence assisted SMBs and federal agencies during some of the worst cyber incidents in history, including the major vulnerabilities found in the PaperCut software and Progress’ MOVEit file sharing software. Huntress has also worked with JCDC in an advisory capacity on the JCDC Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) Cyber Defense Plan.
