Blumira has been selected as the “Editor's Choice Extended Detection and Response (XDR)” and “Best Product Next Generation Security Information and Event Management (NGSIEM)” in Cyber Defense Magazine’s 12th Annual InfoSec Awards. These awards underscore Blumira as a cybersecurity innovator, highlighting our impact and expertise in the space.

Cyber Defense Magazine is a premier source of IT security information, and its annual awards recognize companies that make a huge difference in turning the tide against the exponential growth in cyber-crime. Blumira was chosen for this honor by leading infosec experts from around the globe during CyberDefenseCon 2024, where top global CISOs gather.

According to Gary S. Miliefsky, publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine, “Blumira embodies three major features we judges look for with the potential to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today; providing a cost-effective solution; and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach.”

This recognition underscores our continued mission to democratize security for mid-sized and smaller businesses. We believe that every organization deserves access to reliable cybersecurity regardless of its size or resources, and we recognize that traditional SIEM solutions are too complex, costly and inefficient for most SMBs. Blumira works to combat the status quo by creating tools that streamline ransomware and breach prevention while ensuring compliance, cutting deployment times and lowering maintenance burdens.

Over the past year, we’ve made crucial strides in navigating the shifting cybersecurity landscape, confronting changes head-on with strategic innovations to bolster our incident response capabilities. One example is Blumira Agent, which enhances remote visibility and protection across Windows, Mac and Linux devices. Another example is Executive Summaries, which offers insights into security trends and incident response effectiveness to guide future incident response strategies. 

At Blumira, we’re committed to developing a product that supports and empowers our users. We know that many businesses view SIEM implementation as a long, resource-draining process, and our goal is to combat this assumption with our easy-to-use tools. We help businesses get up and running in one day, prioritizing a customer-centered approach through all steps of the process. The results of this focus are clear: Blumira achieved 100% CSAT scores in both 2022 and 2023. 

We’re proud to continue our award-winning streak through our innovative and customer-focused approach to cybersecurity solutions. This recognition of our XDR platform and SIEM innovations brings us to 13 awards since March, including The SaaS Awards, The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards and the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards
