Blumira’s Security Advisor: Splunk vs. Blumira

Why are organizations switching from old SIEM providers to a more modern platform? SIEM (security information and event management) systems have long had a reputation for being overly complex, difficult-to-impossible to deploy at large scale, and too expensive for small security or IT teams.

Join Amanda Berlin, Sr. Incident Detection Engineer at Blumira and Patrick Garrity, VP of Ops at Blumira to get a comparison of Splunk vs. Blumira, based on real deployment experiences.

In this roundtable conversation, you'll learn about:

• Challenges with failed or stalled complex and time-consuming SIEM deployments
• The lack of meaningful or actionable security insights
• The additional, hidden costs of SIEMs
• The time, resources and size of teams or consultants required for each step of deployment
• How a modern SIEM + SOAR (security orchestration, automation and response) platform combines functionality to enable small teams to do more

This interactive, conversational-style session encourages questions and engagement with viewers – so sign up today for access to our security experts.
