CYBER THREATS DON’T
STAND A CHANCE
BLOKWORX is a team of IT cybersecurity experts with an armed forces heritage and cutting-edge technologies — exactly who you want watching your back and protecting your clients’ data.
BLOKWORX PROTECTS WHAT OTHERS WILL MISS
We focus on reducing your risk and preventing threats in the first place.
Managed Service Providers have enough to worry about. And managing cyber threats and protecting data is a vast and dynamic field, making it a challenge to keep up with everything there is to know and do to protect yourself and your clients.
We have been at the forefront of IT cybersecurity since 2006 and have partnered with industry-leading entities like Deep Instinct and Palo Alto Networks to ensure MSPs and their clients are protected — from edge to end point and everything in between.
Because one cybersecurity threat is too many.
PROTECTING YOU IS WHAT WE DO
We take cyber threats and data defense seriously.
It’s not just information to us — we know it’s your livelihood.
MEET YOUR DEFENDERS
ROBERT BOLES • FOUNDER & PRESIDENT
A veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, Rob founded BLOKWORX in 2006 to further his passion for creating fast, secure networks. Since 1999 Rob was a core technical contributor and presenter on an Advanced IP Team, delivering bleeding edge WAN and Managed Security services to Small, Mid-level and Fortune 500 businesses around the world. The experience led him back to the same conclusion, regardless of size and resources, every company struggled with the same uncertainty – multiple vendors with infinite solutions, and no real clarity how to make it all “work.” Rob focused BLOKWORX on security, reliability, and positive user experience. He has built a team that leverages their expertise with extensive research and testing, alignment with vendors, partners, and clients, and the experience of 1000’s of nodes managed and monitored, all supported by a mature delivery model built on years of operational experience. Rob is an avid outdoorsman and his favorite place to be is in a raft or a kayak with his son Jack.

For the past 5 years Mike has helped to grow BLOKWORX, starting as a network engineer, then service delivery manager, and ultimately Director of Operations, overseeing the SOC and all aspects of the service delivery team. Mike likes cats and little dogs.
