Rapid7 Managed Detection and Response Services vs. Huntress Managed EDR

Rapid7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a preemptive, AI-powered security service designed to identify, disrupt, and contain threats before they impact your business. By combining expert human analysts with advanced analytics and exposure intelligence, Rapid7 MDR goes beyond traditional detection and response to help organizations proactively reduce risk and strengthen resilience. Built on an open platform with native, multi-vector telemetry, Rapid7 MDR delivers comprehensive visibility across endpoint, cloud, identity, network, and SaaS data.

Huntress Managed EDR is a fully managed endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution that pairs continuous endpoint monitoring with a 24/7, human-staffed Security Operations Center (SOC). Built for managed service providers (MSPs) and small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) with limited in-house security staff, it monitors Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints for malicious behavior, including ransomware, persistent footholds, and lateral movement, and pairs automated detection with expert threat hunters who validate and respond to incidents in real time.
