About Blackwood
Blackwood describes itself as a technology broker. For 50 years it has helped risk leaders find, test and adopt cybersecurity and data solutions. It sits between organizations that need advanced cyber capabilities and the companies that build them, offering domain insight, structured evaluations, lab testing and systems architecture before recommending a product, so buyers are not left guessing.
Its practice areas include identity and access management, DevSecOps, cloud, network, data and AI security, data analytics and management, security operations, and business continuity and disaster recovery. Blackwood works directly with manufacturers and stands behind its recommendations. Public agencies use it to run more efficiently and securely with solutions that have already been tested.
