Blackwood Associates

Blackwood Associates supply their customers with innovative solutions for network challenges. 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 Security and Small and Medium Businesses, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small company team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Blackwood Associates is based in Annapolis, Maryland and founded in 1977. More on blackwoodassociates.com.

Things worth asking about: response times, what is included in monitoring, and reporting. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

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