"The digital future is upon us.  This means that almost everything is going to connect into your environment.  It creates an enormus opportunity but also presents many challenges.  It is extremely expensive, risky and difficult to allow these connections, bringing unparalleled stress to the digital workplace. Additional layers of complex security increase customer friction and decrease productivity. We must find ways to simply, securely and scalably control every connection, increase productivity, customer satisfaction while reducing expense and risk." Nathan Pawl, CEO.



As customers describe, Blacksands solves the real world problem of allowing too much access when establishing connection for vendors, contractors and technicians. They claim traditional technologies are difficult to establish, manage, do not offer the necessary flexibility for today's dynamic environments and inter-company data sharing, and are almost impossible to audit.  Blacksands SCaaS focuses on simplicity of deployment and management of every connection, built on a security backbone providing near real time audit for every connection.
