Is Huntress Managed AV a custom Antivirus from Huntress?

No. Managed Antivirus offers a centralized dashboard to monitor and manage Microsoft Defender AV on all protected endpoints. See detections and events, monitor scans and protections, set exclusions and execute remediation actions -- all from the Huntress console.

The Managed Antivirus dashboard gathers essential information to identify and prioritize Microsoft Defender AV incidents and inform remediation steps. In addition, the Huntress SOC team provides an added level of expertise to help analyze a variety of alerts and recommend action items when remediations cannot be performed by Defender AV alone.
