About
Blackpoint Cyber is a cybersecurity company founded in 2014 by former U.S. intelligence community professionals and headquartered in Ellicott City, Maryland. The company delivers managed detection and response (MDR) services anchored by its proprietary SNAP-Defense technology, which monitors LAN traffic and endpoint activity to detect lateral movement — the technique attackers use to spread within a network — rather than relying solely on signature-based malware detection. This approach enables Blackpoint's 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) to catch advanced threats in minutes rather than hours or days.
