Helping IT Teams Protect Their Microsoft Environment
Hear what our customers are saying.
“I researched a number of SIEM providers online and found most were way out-of-the-ballpark expensive, required a lot of infrastructure and didn’t provide a great return on our investment.”
Fritz Ludemann
Information Systems Administrator The City of Crescent City
“ Blumira added a new detection for malicious PowerShell activity. It flagged some activity in our environment. Blumira’s SecOps team immediately jumped on, saw that the scripts were legitimate activity coming from the Microsoft System Center monitoring agents, notified us that the alert was a false positive and that they had updated the detection rules for us.”
Matt Varblow
VP of Engineering Services, AdvantageCS
“ For a certain size of customer with no staff or only one security staff member, Blumira is an absolute godsend.”
