BP/IT poised to lead cybersecurity posture for businesses across Pacific Northwest

Portland, OR — September 25th, 2025— Bennett/Porter’s IT division (BP/IT) has announced the deployment of Huntress, an advanced cybersecurity platform designed to stop hidden cyber threats before they cause damage. This new layer of protection is now active across client systems, at no additional cost through the end of the year.

Traditional antivirus solutions act like a guard at the front door—effective against many known threats but limited against today’s sophisticated attackers. Huntress goes further by combining advanced detection technology with 24/7 human analysis, identifying hidden backdoors, suspicious activity, and subtle persistence mechanisms that hackers use to re-enter systems.

“Our clients deserve enterprise-level protection without the complexity or the price tag”

Dionne Allison, Manager of BP/IT

What Huntress Adds for BP/IT Clients

  • Finding Hidden Threats: Identifies backdoors and persistence tactics attackers use to return after an initial compromise.
  • Human Expertise + Technology: Combines automated detection with real security analysts for faster, smarter responses.
  • Beyond the Endpoint: Extends protection to Microsoft 365 accounts, blocking suspicious logins and alerting to malicious app installs and rules.
  • Right-Sized for SMBs: Brings enterprise-grade security to small and mid-sized businesses at a practical price point.

BP/IT has specifically deployed two Huntress solutions across client environments:

  • EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response): Tracks unusual workstation behavior, detecting signs of compromise missed by traditional antivirus.
  • ITDR (Identity Threat Detection and Response): Protects Microsoft 365 accounts with advanced monitoring and automatic lockdowns against suspicious activity.

According to Allison, the rollout reflects BP/IT’s proactive approach:

“Cybersecurity isn’t about waiting for problems to show up. It’s about getting ahead of them. Huntress strengthens our ability to do just that—keeping our clients safer, supported, and confident that their systems are being watched over day and night.”

Commitment to Clients

This upgrade is being delivered at no cost to clients through the end of the year. Beginning in the new year, Huntress will be included under BP/IT’s standard biannual price adjustment, averaging about 7%.
