Case Study: Clever Ducks shuts down breaches fast with Huntress

With Huntress behind them, Clever Ducks can shut down breaches fast, ignore the noise, and keep clients safe, all without the stress that usually comes with security

Clever Ducks, a managed service provider in California, puts security at the center of its business because its customers trust it with the systems that keep their operations running. The team needed a way to detect real threats early, cut through alert noise, and avoid the operational burden that often comes with security tools. Huntress stood out for its “out-of-band” approach to finding attacker footholds, along with Managed EDR, Managed ITDR, Managed SAT, and Managed SIEM.

With Huntress, Clever Ducks was able to onboard all clients in under 24 hours with no added management overhead, while the human-led 24/7 SOC helped eliminate noisy alerts and deliver clear, actionable detections. That paid off during a weekend breach, when Huntress flagged the activity early so Clever Ducks could respond immediately; by the time the FBI notified the client weeks later, the issue had already been resolved. As a result, Huntress is now non-negotiable at Clever Ducks, and clients aren’t considered fully supported until Huntress is installed.
