Blumira Sweeps Industry Awards, Solidifying Its Position as a Cybersecurity Innovator

By: via Business Wire

Ten accolades in four months underscore the company's commitment to delivering innovative, accessible security solutions for SMBs

Blumira, a leading security operations platform, today announced it has been recognized by multiple, highly regarded award organizations for its continuous work and lasting impact on cybersecurity threat detection and response for SMBs. Blumira has won 10 awards since March 2024.

Honored for its dedication to providing solutions that improve small-to-midsize businesses’ (SMBs) cybersecurity posture, Blumira has won the following awards in Q1 and Q2 of 2024:

  1. “Security Services/Application,” TMCnet Remote Work Pioneer Awards
  2. “Silver Globee® Winner for XDR,” The Globee® Awards for Cybersecurity
  3. “Silver Globee® Winner for SIEM,” The Globee® Awards for Cybersecurity
  4. “Best Security Solution with 1000+ Licensed Users,” The Cloud Security Awards
  5. “Extended Detection and Response (XDR),” The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards
  6. “Security Information and Event Management (SIEM),” The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards
  7. “Market Leader in Next-Generation Security Information and Event Management (NGSIEM),” The Global InfoSec Awards
  8. “Best Solution in Extended Detection and Response (XDR),” The Global InfoSec Awards
  9. “Security and Software,” CRN MES Midmarket 100 Awards
  10. Pam Cory, 2024 CRN Women of the Channel Awards

"These awards validate the opportunity for how the industry approaches security for small and mid-sized businesses," said Jim Simpson, CEO of Blumira. "Our team understands our customers’ need for a platform through reimagining SIEM and XDR technologies, making them not just powerful but truly accessible to SMBs. We deliver enterprise-grade security that's both affordable and easy to use. And it’s more than just innovative technology – it's also about leveling the playing field for mid-sized and small organizations in today's digital ecosystem. We're proving that top-tier security doesn't have to be complex or out of reach for smaller organizations, regardless of their technical resources or expertise. The unwavering support of our customers has been instrumental in this achievement."

Nine of the awards celebrate Blumira for its innovative approach to SIEM + XDR, which streamlines advanced threat detection and response, enhancing ransomware and breach prevention while ensuring compliance. The platform also provides advanced security value, and grants lean IT teams access to 24/7 security operations (SecOps) support, a capability often out of reach for smaller organizations due to cost, complexity, and resource constraints. This feature enables companies to improve their security posture by speeding up response capabilities through increased visibility, real-time threat detections and automation.

The recognition from these award programs reflects the Blumira focus on providing accessible cybersecurity solutions that effectively address emerging threats while ensuring a positive user experience for all.

“Our goal at Blumira is to democratize security for SMBs, because we believe that every organization deserves access to reliable cybersecurity regardless of its size or resources,” said Matt Warner, CTO and co-founder of Blumira. “These recognitions highlight the effectiveness and impact of our platform in addressing the evolving security needs of SMBs. We are committed to continuing our mission of delivering exceptional cybersecurity solutions that protect and empower businesses worldwide.”

Blumira continues to accelerate progress with these award wins and regular monthly product updates, which address the evolving needs of its customers. At Blumira, innovation never stops. In 2024, Blumira introduced its 30-Day XDR Trial, which provides IT teams full access to the platform, including endpoint visibility and response, as well as real-time actionable alerts and investigation.

Blumira also launched Blumira Investigate, a new, easy-to-use search feature showing all events related to a security incident. Designed to speed up investigation and response, Blumira Investigate saves IT teams time by enabling them to determine the scope of incidents and limiting the impact of an incident on the organization.
