Self-service cloud SIEM also includes new paid editions that enable IT teams of all sizes to close security gaps and achieve rapid time to security
Blumira, a leading cybersecurity provider of automated threat detection and response technology, announced the availability of the industry’s only free, self-service cloud security information and event management (SIEM) for Microsoft 365. Blumira also launched three new paid versions: Microsoft 365, Cloud, and Advanced.

According to Gartner, security and risk management leaders increasingly need SIEM solutions with detection, response, and reporting capabilities. Yet, traditional SIEMs often lack effective detection and response capabilities and are too complex, costly, and time-consuming to set up, especially for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs).
To address these problems, Blumira’s all-in-one cloud SIEM with integrated detection and response enables organizations of all sizes to achieve the fastest time to security in the industry – without the high costs and adoption challenges associated with traditional SIEMs. Blumira’s platform can be fully deployed in minutes without any additional infrastructure using Cloud Connectors to achieve log collection, detection and response in one easy-to-use solution.
“The complexity and price of enterprise security have kept solutions out of reach for many organizations that need to improve detection and response as threats escalate and resources remain constrained,” said Matt Warner, CTO and co-founder of Blumira. “This is particularly true for SMBs that struggle to defend against user-based attacks like business email compromise or account takeovers while trying to tackle security gaps, blind spots, and the dangers of threats going undetected.”
Organizations no longer have to struggle with data volume ingestion limits or h************* that hinder security outcomes. With Blumira’s Free edition, IT teams gain security monitoring for Microsoft 365 with unlimited users and data. They also get access to easy-to-use detection and response, basic reporting and ongoing, automated detection rule updates. Customers can easily sign up for Blumira’s free SIEM without a credit card or sales conversation.

To identify real attack patterns and surface meaningful findings, Blumira’s behavior-based detections track malicious activity related to users, email forwarding, password changes, anomalous access attempts, and more. Blumira provides SMBs with the benefit of offloading security management, adding and tuning new detections to reduce noisy alerts, and providing meaningful insights to help teams take quick action to mitigate threats.
“In keeping with our company’s mission of making security accessible to a traditionally underserved market – small and mid-sized businesses – we’re excited to launch a detection and response solution that prospective customers can try out on their own, in their own time,” said Jim Simpson, CEO of Blumira. “We’ve eliminated the barriers to entry that typically keep advanced security out of the hands of organizations with limited resources.”
Paid Editions Unlock Greater Support, Visibility and Coverage
All Free users can upgrade in-product to paid editions to unlock access to Blumira’s 24/7 security operations (SecOps) team support for urgent priority issues, as well as onboarding and guided response. Upgrade to Advanced for ongoing security consultations with a technical account manager, network attack surface assessment and much more.
Blumira’s three paid editions offer:
- Microsoft 365 – 30 days of data retention; advanced reports allow for custom, scheduled reports sent out periodically
- Cloud – Expanded cloud coverage for Microsoft 365, Duo Security and SentinelOne; and one year of data retention to meet compliance and cybersecurity regulations
- Advanced – Full coverage for cloud and on-premises environments, including Windows and firewalls; honeypots to detect lateral movement, active threats and curious insiders in your network; automated response to block threats immediately
“Knowing that I have something I can look at that can correlate everything is a real time-saver. I’m able to sleep at night knowing that all of our logs are centralized,” said John Hwee, IT Director of Duraflame. “Blumira’s dashboards provide accurate and high-fidelity, actionable alerts.”
