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 – THE BLOKWORX TEAM LEADERS

BLOKWORX Team - Robert Boles President

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.

MIKE TARANGO • DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

Mike served 7 years in the US Army, primarily working on critical secured communication, including encryption systems and classified data networks at Ft Bragg, South Korea, and the Pentagon. He subsequently worked as a DoD contractor supporting operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, and Djibouti, performing NOC and cybersecurity operations for data and communication transmission systems and networks. 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.

BLOKWORX Team - Emalee Sugano, Marketing and Strategy

EMALEE SUGANO • DIRECTOR OF MARKETING & STRATEGY

Emalee is a veteran in the Channel dedicated to implementing and training on MSP marketing efforts and business growth tactics for nearly ten years. Her passion is developing feasible strategies that generate predictable, steady results driven by quality content. She challenges companies to focus on the problems they solve for their customers rather than getting stuck in technical speeds and feeds. In her role at BLOKWORX, she helps MSPs explain why managed security services are necessary, different from traditional MSP services, and worth a higher price tag. She also helps drive BLOKWORX forward by helping the team define and address critical issues through strategic planning sessions. When not working, Emalee loves to spend time with her family exploring their Southern California home.

Clint Hammond _ Director of Logistics_Headshot

He lives and dies by his motto that “processes save careers.” At BLOKWORX, Clint handles the purchasing, invoicing and collections, as well as providing his logical perspective for budgeting and process creation. When not at work, Clint spends his time selling real estate, coaching soccer, leading his kids’ scout troops, and enjoying time with his family.
