What's with the name?
The name Blackwing Strategy draws inspiration from the myth of Odin’s ravens, Huginn (thought) and Muninn (memory), who symbolize wisdom, foresight, and the ability to gather critical intelligence. Just as the ravens scoured the world to bring Odin knowledge and insight, Blackwing Strategy is committed to helping cybersecurity organizations navigate the market with clarity and precision. The ravens’ dual focus on thought and memory mirrors the balance required in cybersecurity: proactively thinking ahead to anticipate market dynamics while drawing on past experiences to avoid pitfalls, and maximize success. This mythology underscores Blackwing Strategy’s mission to provide clients with the strategic vision and knowledge needed to thrive in an ever-changing cybersecurity market landscape.
