While not everyone is subject to compliance standards such as PCI and HIPAA, we’re all concerned with security. The adoption of cloud, an increasingly mobile workforce, and a vast increase in mobile devices have greatly expanded the number of entry points that can pose a risk to your data.

Understanding the challenges

Gathering data from firewalls, anti-virus agents, and security logs from hundreds of devices is by itself a substantial task. Analyzing this data is yet another hurdle, and when an attack is in progress, it’s imperative to act quickly. To add yet another layer of complexity, some attacks are subtle and can easily go unnoticed. For example, an attacker could gain unauthorized access to a mailbox and simply gather intelligence without taking any action. Confidential communication would be immediately accessible, allowing the attacker to craft credible communication to finance, human resources, executives, or even partners of the organization for personal gain.

Introducing Huntress SOC

Complete IT has partnered with Huntress to combat modern cyber threats with advanced detection and response capabilities. While traditional tools often miss sophisticated “living-off-the-land” attacks, the Huntress Security Operations Center (SOC) provides 24/7 human-led monitoring across your endpoints, network, and cloud environments. This partnership gives us real-time, comprehensive insight and a dedicated team of elite threat hunters backing your organization.

The most important benefits are easily summarized:

  • Persistent Threat Detection: We look beyond simple malware to find the hidden persistence mechanisms hackers use to stay inside a network undetected.

  • 24/7 Human-Led Monitoring: Your systems are monitored by expert analysts who triage alerts and remove the “noise,” ensuring we only act on real, validated threats.

  • Rapid Incident Isolation: When a threat is confirmed, we can instantly isolate infected host machines from the network. This halts the spread of malicious code while maintaining our remote access for immediate remediation.

  • Evolving Intelligence: We leverage the Huntress “Neighborhood Watch” threat intelligence, which identifies new exploits across thousands of global networks the moment they emerge.

Responding to threats

When an incident occurs, the Huntress SOC begins an investigation within minutes. Our response coordination with Complete IT follows these aggressive timelines:

Identified issue and response time (Detection / Notification / Action) 
System breached or attack in progress.1 Min / 5 Min / 10 Min
AV quarantine action failed, O365 forwarding rules detected, O365 Successful login from other countries detected.1 Min / 5 Min / 10 Min
Unusual activity, but no breach by malicious party was detected.2 Min / 10 Min / As Needed
System is showing failed logon attempts or other events generated by customer network systems or users and not part of a cybersecurity threat.2 Min / 10 Min / As Needed
No effect on the system – informational data only which may be useful for investigation.5 Min / As Needed / As Needed
