Blackpoint Cyber
Blackpoint Cyber detects and eliminates advanced threats 24/7 for MSPs.
Blackpoint Cyber delivers 24/7 managed detection, response, and remediation (MDR) services powered by a human-led Security Operations Center. The platform detects advanced threats by identifying malicious use of legitimate IT administration tools—a blind spot for traditional EDR and antivirus solutions. Built specifically for MSPs and their customers, Blackpoint eliminates alert fatigue by taking remediation action in real-time rather than leaving it to customers.
Problem solved
MSPs and their customers lack the expertise and 24/7 staffing to detect advanced threats that exploit legitimate IT tools, resulting in breaches that go undetected and unremedialed.
Target customer
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their SMB to mid-market customers requiring 24/7 threat detection and response without internal SOC resources.

Competitors
CrowdStrike
Larger platform with broader endpoint protection focus; Blackpoint specializes in MSP channel with dedicated 24/7 SOC response.
SentinelOne
Broader endpoint security platform; Blackpoint focuses on managed detection and response with human-led remediation for MSPs.
Sophos
Legacy security vendor with larger product portfolio; Blackpoint is purpose-built for MSP delivery with contextual threat detection.
Huntress
Comparable MDR competitor; Blackpoint differentiates through patented contextual awareness of hacker tradecraft and lateral movement.
Cybereason
Enterprise-focused threat detection platform; Blackpoint targets MSPs with 24/7 managed response as core service.
Why this matters: Blackpoint stands out as one of the few MDR platforms purpose-built for MSPs with a $214M funding validation and NSA-credentialed founder focused on detecting a blind spot in traditional security tools—malicious activity using legitimate IT administration functions. The recent leadership transition to a Harvard/MIT-credentialed former Norton executive, combined with strategic partnerships (NinjaOne, Compliant Workspace) and a Series D raise, signals momentum in the high-growth managed security market.
Best for: MSPs seeking a fully managed threat detection and response solution that eliminates the burden of maintaining an internal SOC while providing enterprise-grade protection to their SMB customers.
Use cases
Early breach containment for SMB customers
An MSP's customer experiences a ransomware attack using legitimate RDP tools. Blackpoint's contextual detection identifies the malicious RDP activity in real-time, alerts the SOC, and initiates isolation procedures within minutes—before lateral spread occurs. Traditional EDRs would miss the threat entirely.
Eliminating alert fatigue for lean MSP teams
An MSP with 200+ customers receives thousands of daily security alerts. Blackpoint's 24/7 SOC investigates each alert, filters false positives, and takes remediation action directly. MSP staff focus on customer relationships instead of triaging security noise.
Compliant threat response for regulated industries
A healthcare MSP customer must demonstrate rapid incident detection and containment for compliance audits. Blackpoint's documented 24/7 response, human investigation logs, and automated remediation provide audit-ready evidence of proactive threat management.
Alternatives
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete
Larger vendor with broader platform; consider if you need more advanced endpoint protection features beyond detection and response.
Huntress Managed EDR
Direct MSP competitor; choose Huntress if you prefer a lighter-weight EDR with MSP-native tooling, though with less human-led response.
Rapid7 InsightIDR
SIEM-first approach with detection and response; better for larger enterprises with complex multi-source logging requirements.
