How Blumira Helps
Automated SIEM+XDR Platform
Blumira collects event logs from your applications, systems, and devices. By analyzing logs in real-time, Blumira’s SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) platform provides continuous security monitoring. The platform identifies adverse events, notifies teams, and provides guidance on how to respond to incidents. For immediate threat containment, Blumira’s platform automatically isolates affected devices from the rest of the network to stop the spread of malware until further investigation.
Blumira helps local governments meet the 12-hour incident reporting requirement by identifying and alerting them to potential cyberattacks, including ransomware, within minutes of initial detection to enable faster response and reporting times. Blumira also retains a year of all event logs to give organizations a clear picture of what happened in the event of an attack, which is helpful for incident investigation and response.
