Huntress
Managed Detection & Response (MDR)
✓ Strong Recommend
Purpose-built MDR for SMBs and MSPs. Combines persistent foothold detection, 24/7 SOC triage, and ransomware canaries. Directly addresses CMMC SI.L2-3.14.6 (malicious code protection) and IR.L2-3.6.1 (incident response capability).

ThreatLocker
Zero Trust Application Control
✓ Strong Recommend
Allowlisting-first approach to endpoint security. Blocks unapproved applications and network paths by default. Directly maps to CMMC CM.L2-3.4.6 (least functionality) and CM.L2-3.4.7 (software restrictions). One of the highest-impact controls you can deploy.
