Huntress platform integration will enable Darkhorse Tech’s clients to benefit from enhanced threat detection, incident response and monitoring capabilities to protect patient data

ELLICOTT CITY, Md., Aug. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Huntress, the managed security platform for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and the managed service providers that support them, today announced a new partnership with Darkhorse Tech, a leading provider of IT solutions for dental practices.

Founded in 2012, Darkhorse Tech has established dominance in the dental IT sector by focusing on the specific needs of dental professionals. Offering fully managed IT solutions that include everything from practice management software support to digital imaging and X-ray integrations, Darkhorse Tech has continuously strived to help dental practices improve their efficiency and secure their data.

The Huntress suite of managed cybersecurity solutions, combined with their 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) staffed with trained experts who hunt compromises and offer quick and simple steps for remediation, keeps SMBs protected from threats and attacks. The Huntress solution will be integrated into Darkhorse Tech's services portfolio, enabling all clients to benefit from advanced threat detection, automated incident response, and continuous monitoring to protect the systems that host patient data.

The healthcare sector is at risk, with about 295 breaches reported in the first half of 2023 alone, according to the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) data breach portal. In fact, more than 39 million individuals were implicated in healthcare data breaches in the first six months of the year.

“Utilizing the Huntress Cybersecurity solution in the tech stack of dental offices will fortify the protection of confidential patient health records, effectively thwarting potential hackers. This commitment to security not only safeguards sensitive information but also positions the practice as a trusted and competitive provider in the dental healthcare industry,” said Reuben Kamp, CEO of Darkhorse Tech.

"We are thrilled to support the mission of our partner Darkhorse Tech by ensuring their dental practice clients are protected from cybersecurity attacks, and that data is protected,” said Kyle Hanslovan, CEO and co-founder, Huntress, Inc. “It’s been our mission from day one to protect small and medium-sized organizations and the team at Darkhorse Tech shares that vision. I can’t think of a better strategic alliance foundation to build from.”

With the integration of Huntress’ solutions, Darkhorse Tech will continue to empower dental practices to focus on providing exceptional patient care, knowing their IT infrastructure and data are secure against the advanced cyber threats of today and the future.
