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.

XBOW is an AI-powered autonomous penetration testing platform that identifies and exploits vulnerabilities in web applications without human intervention. Using swarms of AI agents, it simultaneously explores multiple attack vectors, reducing testing times from weeks to hours while providing reproducible proof of exploitation. The platform is trusted by Fortune 500 companies including UKG, Samsung SDS, and Moderna, and recently ranked #1 on the HackerOne leaderboard, outperforming thousands of human hackers.

TimescaleDB is an open-source PostgreSQL extension optimized for time-series data, delivering 10-100x faster query performance than MongoDB and InfluxDB while supporting millions of events per second with up to 95% storage compression. Built by Ajay Kulkarni and Michael Freedman (Princeton professor), it serves companies ingesting and analyzing massive volumes of time-stamped data across IoT, blockchain, maritime, and industrial applications. The product maintains full PostgreSQL compatibility—same drivers, clients, and SQL—while adding automatic time-partitioning (hypertables) and columnar compression.
