Huntress Mission, Purpose & Impact
Frequently Asked Questions
You can see our mission show up in what we build and how we show up for the people who rely on us.
On the product side, Huntress is focused on making strong security achievable for organizations that don’t have a huge security team. We describe our mission as empowering everyone to protect their endpoints, identities, and employees from today’s growing threat landscape,” and protecting “understaffed, underserved, and under-attack organizations” through the Huntress Managed Security Platform (Managed EDR, Managed ITDR, Security Awareness Training, and Managed SIEM).
Inside the company, we work hard to make “values in action” more than words. Our Values-Based Behaviors are used as real expectations for how we operate day to day—including being Outcome-Obsessed (owning commitments that advance the mission) and “Give More Than We Take” (delivering extreme value and building trust with teammates, partners, and customers).
We also invest in culture and learning that helps teammates do great work over the long haul—through things like BElonging sessions, plus ongoing training and forums that keep us learning “the Huntress way.”
We try to make a difference by showing up for the cybersecurity community in practical ways: sharing what we learn, teaching what we know, and helping partners protect themselves even when there’s nothing in it for us.
One example is the Huntress Neighborhood Watch Program, which Huntress describes as “a collection of programs and resources designed to help elevate the broader security community.” As part of that program, we’ve made the Huntress Managed Security Platform available for internal use at no cost to any managed service provider, even if they aren’t a Huntress partner—so they can “keep your own house secure… no strings attached.”
We also invest in education. Huntress has publicly committed to providing “actionable cyber training and practical resources,” including publishing a new blog every Tuesday and offering webinars, on-demand events, and videos for the community. That includes programs like Tradecraft Tuesday (a monthly live webinar with hands-on techniques) and hack_it (a multi-day training event).
And we’ve backed it with real dollars too—like a $100,000 donation to the Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD) in 2022 to support their growth and help kickstart a bug bounty program.
We don’t treat values like posters on a wall — we turn them into clear expectations for how you work, how you get feedback, and how you grow.
At Huntress, our six Values-Based Behaviors are explicitly defined as “expectations of how we show up,” and they’re used across the talent lifecycle — including behavioral interviewing and performance — so they actually matter in day-to-day decisions, not just onboarding talk.
You’ll feel that most in how managers lead. Huntress states the #1 responsibility of a manager is to set expectations, and we believe “feedback is a right, not a privilege.” That commitment is operationalized through Always Aligned 1:1s in Lattice, which are the “single source of truth” for documenting alignment, performance, and growth, with a minimum expectation of at least one documented 1:1 per month per teammate.
And our values show up in the specifics of what “good” looks like — from Candor (direct, trust-building transparency) to Outcome-Obsessed (owning commitments and measurable impact) to Perfect Imperfection (iterating quickly as we learn).
