Blackpoint Cyber provides a nation-state‑grade cybersecurity ecosystem delivered to managed service providers (MSPs), centered on its managed detection and response (MDR) technology and a 24/7 Security Operations Center that investigates and neutralizes threats in real time. The company’s SOC takes action on behalf of MSPs to reduce alert fatigue and false positives rather than merely issuing alerts. Blackpoint has added products such as Managed Application Control to ensure only authorized applications run on devices. In 2023 it launched Blackpoint University to deliver sales and technical cybersecurity training for MSPs. The business says it is committed to adding additional products and simplifying the security stack for MSP partners as they take on a larger role in cybersecurity. The company was founded by CEO Jon Murchison, a former NSA computer operations expert, and emphasizes real‑world cyber defense experience in its product development. Blackpoint provides a cybersecurity platform called SNAP-Defense that detects lateral spread and offers real-time network visualization to identify and detain threats early in a breach. SNAP-Defense's Live Network Map gives accurate, real-time visualization of every asset and focuses on universal threat behaviors such as network enumeration, lateral movement, and system administration tradecraft. The platform is designed to let customers reduce their product stack while detecting threats before they can spread. Recent product enhancements include a multi-tenant dashboard for MSSPs, an automated compliance module, and a Networked Industrial Control Operations System (NICOS) module for securing smart building systems, industrial control systems, and operations technology including factory and logistics control systems. The company intends to use new funding to accelerate sales and marketing and to scale in U.S. and foreign markets. Blackpoint is led by founder and CEO Jon Murchison and is based in Ellicott City, Maryland.
