What Should A Modern Cybersecurity Stack Look Like? | Huntress

This blog post presents a concise framework for a modern cybersecurity stack composed of nine layers—foundation (hygiene and hardening), endpoint security, identity and access protection, cloud/SaaS security, secure AI usage, network and email security, monitoring and incident response, backup and recovery, and governance/risk/compliance. It emphasizes prevention, detection, response, and recovery, recommends concrete controls (e.g., NGAV/EDR, MFA, CASB, immutable backups), aligns advice to NIST and MITRE ATT&CK, and positions Huntress’s managed EDR, identity monitoring, SIEM, and training services as solutions to implement the stack.
