Case Study: A US hospitality group cuts security costs about 40% and response times to under 10 minutes with Huntress
Key results
The challenge
An anonymized US-based hospitality group operating over 10 offices and nearly 320 endpoints moved to Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 during the pandemic, but its legacy security provider priced at nearly double Huntress could not keep up. Threat notifications took up to 45 minutes to arrive, frequent false positives consumed the small IT team's time, and manual remediation drained hours.
The solution
In early 2025 the group deployed Huntress Managed EDR and Managed ITDR. Using Microsoft Intune, the EDR agent rolled out across all endpoints in under 24 hours, and the 24/7 SOC handled detection and auto-remediation, with the setup built to integrate with Microsoft 365.
“Once Huntress is set up, I don't have to worry. If something pops up on a machine, it's auto-remediated or isolated so I don't have to be watching all the time.”

The results, in context
The group reported security costs about 40% lower than its legacy vendor while gaining more capability. Response times dropped from up to 45 minutes to less than 10 minutes for most incidents, all endpoints were deployed in under 24 hours, and Huntress delivered a false positive rate of less than 1%.
