IT & Cybersecurity
Contact SalesIn an increasingly digital world, ensuring your data and business security has become a cross-cutting concern for all industries.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Disruptions in infrastructure can destroy a business, especially if data is lost. We can advise and implement IT disaster recovery playbooks, risk mitigation strategies, and backup systems to ensure business continuity in the face of disaster.
DNS Management & Security
DNS is the critical foundation of modern online business, from your website to your email. BlackieOps provides expert DNS zone management (nameservers, DNS-as-code) and security hardening (DNSSEC, DKIM, DMARC, SPF, audits) to ensure you stay online and operating.
IAM & Authorization
As a company grows, so too does its vulnerability to account takeover (ATO) and insider threats. Whether it's rolling out MFA and password management, or locking down cloud IAM service account policies, we can help.
Application Hosting
From a static website, to an enterprise-scale monolith, we are experts in running highly-available, scalable infrastructure based on container technology both on and off the cloud.
