Blackpoint Cyber is a technology-focused cybersecurity company headquartered in Maryland, USA. The company was established by former US Department of Defense and Intelligence security experts and leverages its real-world cyber experience and knowledge of malicious tradecraft to help MSPs safeguard their infrastructure and operations. 

Offering the only world-class, nation state-grade cybersecurity ecosystem, Blackpoint serves the MSP community using its own proprietary security operations and incident response platform, SNAP-Defense, which is available as a product or as a True Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service. Blackpoint not only detects breaches earlier than any other solution on the market, but its dedicated MDR security analysts work 24/7 to combine network visualization, insider threat monitoring, anti-malware, traffic analysis, and endpoint security in one rapidly deployed service to monitor and detain threats before it's too late.  
 
In addition to its MDR services, Blackpoint is launching LogIC, its new logging with integrated compliance service to help MSPs and their clients satisfy cyber compliance requirements, including assessments and audits. With simple push-button setup, LogIC’s hyper-efficient logging architecture and self-service web application allows you to generate compliance reports and manage all aspects of event and log collection. Streamline how you prepare for audits and know exactly where you are already covered without compromising your security posture.  
 
Blackpoint Cyber continues to work hard to deliver an end-to-end, effective cybersecurity ecosystem to the MSP community. The mission? Provide absolute, unified detection and response services for MSPs of all sizes to combat a constantly changing threat landscape.
