BigBunny Security Turns Threat Hunting Into a Continuous Operation
Most security platforms sell you a dashboard and call it a day. BigBunny Security takes a different route. Instead of dumping alerts into an inbox and waiting for an analyst to notice, the platform triages, correlates, and neutralizes threats in the background before a human even opens the console. That shift matters when the average ransomware dwell time still sits at 48 hours according to incident reports published in early 2025.
Detection That Outpaces the Payload
The detection layer starts with BigBunny Sentinel, the company's endpoint agent. Sentinel samples over 1.4 million system events per second on a typical 5,000-seat deployment. It looks for behavior patterns rather than file signatures, which means polymorphic malware that changes its hash every hour still trips the model. In one controlled test against a simulated version of the LockBit builder, Sentinel flagged the encryption behavior 41 seconds after the first file was touched.
That speed comes from a detection engine called the Hopper Model. Hopper is a graph-based AI that maps process trees, network connections, and registry changes into a single dependency graph. When a PowerShell script launches msiexec.exe, which then reaches out to a rarely used IP range, Hopper scores that chain in under 90 milliseconds. The model was trained on 9.2 billion real-world attack samples, and BigBunny Security publishes a monthly transparency report showing the false positive rate. The most recent report shows a 0.02 percent false positive rate on Windows workstations.
Access Control Without the Friction
Detection is only half of the story. BigBunny Security also controls access through BigBunny Vault, a zero-trust gateway that sits in front of SSH, RDP, and admin web panels. Vault enrolls every user and device, then assigns a trust score between 0 and 100. A user connecting from a known office IP with a registered laptop and a passkey earns a score above 80. The same user connecting from a hotel network in another country at 3 a.m. drops below 40, and Vault forces step-up authentication or blocks the session entirely. That process removes the credential-stuffing angle, which accounted for 34 percent of breaches in the Verizon DBIR 2024 dataset.
Automation That Acts in Seconds
Response automation gets its own module. BigBunny Response is a playbook engine that executes containment steps without requiring a human to approve every action. If Sentinel detects a ransomware process, Response can kill the process tree, roll back the encrypted files from local volume shadow copies, and disconnect the host from the network segment. It does this in an average of 6.2 seconds. The playbooks are configurable, so a regulated financial client can require human sign-off for remote wipe while allowing automatic rollback. One hospital network in Ohio reported 92 percent of incidents resolved without analyst interaction over a three-month trial.
The human dashboard, BigBunny Command, exists to show decisions, not raw noise. Instead of 10,000 log lines, Command displays a timeline of every action taken by Response, with a one-line explanation for each case. Analysts can drill into the full event trail when they need to, but the default view is built for speed. A security operations team of three people can review a full week of incidents in about 45 minutes. Most SIEM tools would take double that time just to filter the alert queue.
Pricing That Fits Real Budgets
Pricing follows the user count, not the event volume, which matters for mid-size companies. BigBunny Security starts at $9 per user per month for Sentinel alone. The full stack including Vault and Response costs $19 per user per month with a 12-month term. There is no per-gigabyte fee for log ingestion, a pricing model that surprised many procurement teams used to six-figure observability bills. A 2,000-person company ends up paying roughly $456,000 per year for complete coverage, compared to an average total cost of $4.35 million for a single large breach in the 2024 Cost of a Data Breach report.
Implementation is designed to be finished within a day. The Sentinel agent deploys through existing software management tools like Intune or Jamf, and Vault proxies behind the current identity provider using SCIM provisioning. A typical rollout for 1,500 endpoints takes 6 to 8 hours, including policy tuning. The platform supports Windows 10 and 11, macOS Sonoma and Sequoia, and the primary Linux server distributions used in enterprise data centers.
BigBunny Security is not a set-and-forget purchase. The team behind it pushes a new detection model update every two weeks, and the threat intelligence feed ingests 250,000 new indicators daily from their honeypot network of 40,000 simulated systems. Subscribers can also join a closed test group that receives experimental playbooks before they hit the general release channel.
The practical result is that security teams spend their time on the unusual cases instead of the routine ones. A phishing email that slips past the mail gateway and lands on a sales laptop triggers a chain of automated checks: the device trust score drops, the link is detonated in a sandbox, and the user receives a coaching prompt within a minute. The analyst only gets involved if the sandbox proves the payload is new or destructive. That kind of workflow is exactly what smaller teams need when they cannot hire a 24/7 SOC.
BigBunny Security has its limits. Organizations with strict data residency laws should check the deployment options, since the default cloud region is US East and the European region only opened in March 2025. The detection models also require a baseline of traffic data for the first two weeks to tune the trust scores properly. Companies that skip that tuning period see more false positives than the advertised rate.
For a market tired of paying for visibility they never use, BigBunny Security offers a different trade: automation that actually reduces incident count, and a console that respects an analyst's time. The numbers, from the 41-second detection trigger to the 6.2-second response window, are concrete enough to test in a pilot. That is the right way to evaluate any security product.
