Now Available: Blumira's Free 30-Day XDR Trial

Blumira’s mission is to make security accessible to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). True to the heart of this mission, our Engineering, Product, Marketing and many other teams have endeavored to ship a simple, easy-to-use and fast-to-setup XDR (extended detection and response) trial experience.

Now all Free SIEM users can instantly unlock the full potential of Blumira’s XDR Platform with a single click in their accounts. This seamless upgrade grants immediate access to all features, except the Blumira Sensor, without requiring any human intervention.

Completely free for 30 days, Blumira’s XDR trial enables IT teams to secure their organizations with no additional headcount, infrastructure, or costly security team required. By automating manual security tasks, Blumira provides greater value to SMBs without the high MDR (managed detection and response) cost.

Blumira’s SIEM + XDR and 24/7 SecOps Team

Blumira’s platform detects early signs of an attack and helps you respond faster to reduce its impact to your organization, preventing a data breach. With our SIEM +XDR platform and 24/7 security operations team combined, you get 24/7 coverage – there’s no need to hire full-time analysts to manage your security.

To enhance SMB capabilities, Blumira’s platform and teams give them:

Easy and fast deployment of cloud-delivered platform with cloud integrations
Critical security detections automatically applied at setup to identify the latest threats
24/7 daily log monitoring automated through Blumira’s platform, alerts sent under a minute of initial detection
Immediate threat response to block or contain threats to prevent ransomware infection
Greater visibility into early attack signs that other endpoint tools may miss
One year of data retention to help meet compliance requirements (available for paid users)
Blumira’s 24/7 SecOps team provides responsive support for critical priority issues (available for paid users)

Blumira’s customer experience is the bridge between the IT team they have today and Blumira’s detection engineers that provide the security expertise they don’t have in-house.

Note: Upgrade required to retain your data for one year to meet compliance & insurance requirements

Follow along with Blumira’s guided XDR trial by completing the three-step Blumira Get Started Guide:

Step 1 - Install Agent

Install Blumira Agent on one of your Windows, Mac or Linux devices. This will send logs from your device to Blumira’s SIEM for endpoint monitoring, detection and response.

Step 2 - Run a test

After the agent starts sending logs, we’ll guide you through a simulated security event to see how Blumira detections work. Note: it may take up to 15 minutes for logs to start sending to Blumira.

Step 3 - Investigate the test

Blumira will generate a detailed security finding that includes a playbook on how to respond to the security event. We’ll walk you through each step of the way.

This in-app guide will take a user through how to test a detection on a device they just installed Blumira Agent on. Running this command prompt will simulate an attacker dumping the Windows registry to steal credentials.

After running the simulation, Blumira will detect, generate and send you a finding. You can explore different parts of a finding, including how to start answering the playbook workflow’s questions to initiate guided response.

After you’ve completed working a finding, go explore other XDR features, such as:

Set up an integration by adding a Cloud Connector. This connects your cloud applications to Blumira’s platform, sending logs to us for threat analysis, detection and response. Choose from any available ones, including AWS, Duo Security, Microsoft 365, Sophos, SentinelOne, Webroot, Google Workspace and more.
Set up Automated Host Isolation for automated response. This contains or cuts off network access to an endpoint that has been compromised or associated with any priority level threats detected by Blumira. It is configurable to meet your needs, and requires Blumira Agent to be installed on endpoints in order to work.
