BlackRock IT

BlackRock IT offers expertise in networking, server administration, disaster recovery, cloud, procurement, telephony, and training services. Put simply, it is about assessing, monitoring and responding to security threats on your behalf.

It makes the most sense for companies without a full security team. They also list Cloud Infrastructure and Network Security, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

BlackRock IT is based in White Plains, New York. More on blkrockit.com.

Things worth asking about: response times, what is included in monitoring, and reporting. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

If you have worked with BlackRock IT, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
