Case Study: Five Nines Technology Group prevents identity attacks with Huntress

How Five Nines successfully prevents identity attacks with the support of Huntress

Five Nines Technology Group, an MSP serving more than 240 businesses across healthcare, finance, legal, and other industries, was facing a surge in password-spray attacks against client VPNs. These attacks caused account lockouts and even denial-of-service issues that disrupted customer operations. To address the growing identity threat landscape, Five Nines turned to Huntress, using Managed EDR and Managed ITDR.

With Huntress, Five Nines deployed 24/7, fully managed protection across its client base and was able to respond quickly to threats before they escalated. In one incident, Huntress detected suspicious activity tied to stolen credentials and an outdated Cisco AnyConnect VPN, then isolated the environment and helped stop a potential ransomware event. The result was rapid containment and recovery in about 2 hours, with most threats resolved within a few hours and no client loss despite pricing changes.
