Field Effect MDR vs. Huntress
Field Effect MDR
Huntress
Risk management
-
Field Effect MDR proactively improves your security posture, identifying all risks across your entire organization with 24/7 vulnerability detection. It also prioritizes remediation with simple alerting and jargon-free instructions.
- Huntress is not a proactive solution. External IP scanning provides limited posture management support, leaving unpatched software, legacy protocols, misconfigurations, and more to be exploited by hackers.
Detection and response
-
Unmatched visibility into your network, cloud, and endpoints with a kernel-level endpoint agent allows Field Effect MDR to detect known/unknown threats and anomalous behavior. Our MDR solution also stops malicious processes, such as malware deployment, process injection, and more, from running.
- Non-kernel level agents offer minimal visibility into process creation, file system access, network information, kernel driver loads, Windows registry, and more. As such, clients must add EDR technology to achieve effective endpoint protection with blocking capabilities.
Threat surface coverage
-
Field Effect MDR protects your entire threat surface with defense in depth across endpoints, networks, and cloud services.
-
Endpoint and M365-only coverage leaves a significant part of the threat surface at risk, including all network traffic, Linux systems, IoT devices, Google Workspace, Active Directory, SaaS solutions, and more.
Automated threat response
-
Flexible response policies allow users to select the appropriate degree of response for their organization and specific hosts. With several options, from automated to manually verified, you can balance business continuity and risk management effectively.
-
Manual-only response slows remediations and lacks the ability for users to enable automatic response (such as host isolation or account locking) to protect sensitive and/or high-risk devices from known threats.
Alerting
-
Field Effect MDR’s proprietary AROs (Actions, Recommendations, and Observations) prioritize remediation required from across your environment, in one place, with jargon-free instructions.
- While simple instructions offer guided remediation, segregated dashboards rely on users to correlate duplicate alerts and prioritize which alerts to action first.
Total cost of ownership
- Highly sophisticated and comprehensive, Field Effect MDR replaces 15+ cybersecurity tools and services, offering the best coverage and value with an all-in per-user price.
-
Organizations will require additional tooling such as vulnerability detection, network detection and response, DNS, kernel-level EDR, and more, to achieve comprehensive protection, increasing the total cost of ownership.
