Have you ever stared at a pricing page trying to figure out whether "Enterprise Plus Premium Advanced Pro Edition” or "Next-Gen Professional Premium Advanced Elite Max Edition” is the right fit for your organization? Me too. Keeping up with the acronyms du jour in security is time-consuming enough, without also having to memorize which string of adjectives matches the capabilities you’re actually trying to buy.
That's why we're simplifying the Blumira edition lineup, by moving to function-first names based on what they help you do: Detect, Respond, and Automate.
Why the Change?
When people look at our platform, they usually don’t start their search with a vision board of product categories — they start with some pretty clear problems they need to solve in mind:
"I need to detect threats across our cloud environments, without checking 20 different dashboards.” "We need a better plan to respond when incidents happen.” “Our team is pretty short-handed, so we need to automate how we handle routine security tasks.”
The questions differ depending on where someone is in their security journey, but the destination is the same: keeping their organization running smoothly without disruption. That confidence comes from having a clear view of what’s happening in their environment without any gaps or blind spots, having the right tools and know-how to quickly fix issues when they arise, and knowing where to turn when they need help. It’s that simple.
What Each Edition Offers
Starting today, if you are looking for enterprise-grade security without enterprise-level complexity, Blumira has three paths to better security available for you to choose from:
Detect Edition
Detect gives you a clear view of local network and cloud-hosted resources powered by our SIEM, notifying you when (and ONLY when) something actually needs your attention. If you need to meet logging compliance requirements, worry if you’re missing threats hiding somewhere in your environment, or tried other solutions but gave up because the endless stream of alerts was overwhelming, Detect is a good place to start. You’ll get:
- Drop-in integrations giving you visibility into all the network resources you control, and the cloud apps that you don’t
- Expert-built detection rules, auto-enabled and watching for suspicious activity around the clock
- Smart filters that tune out false positives, stopping alert fatigue before it starts
- Executive-ready reporting to show leadership the value of your security work keeping your team safe
- Unlimited retention for a full year of history, meeting compliance requirements without surprise fees or overages
Respond Edition
Knowing about risk is only half the battle, the other half is having the ability to do something about it… that’s where Respond shines. If you’ve tried security vendors that promise to do it all for you but take hours to answer when you call, don’t know where to start with an incident response plan, or need to get a handle on endpoint security, Respond puts the right tools in your hand. With Respond, you can:
- Meet monitoring and audit reporting requirements automatically, with saved compliance reports delivered to your inbox
- Find answers to your security questions fast, with <30 minute average response times for all support requests
- Call in 24/7 backup from Blumira security experts during critical incidents, averaging 18 minutes from first request to live response
- Know when there’s suspicious activity on user laptops and desktops, and stop threats fast with host isolation and blocklisting tools
- Trick would-be attackers into giving themselves away, using a honeypot that looks like a juicy target but gives you early warning
Automate Edition
Once you’ve got the tools, knowledge, and insight to respond confidently to every problem, you can focus on maximizing speedy resolution with minimal time from your team. Automate leverages every tool integrated into the Blumira platform, amplifying your team’s efforts so you can:
- Investigate and resolve issues faster, using context enrichment and AI-enabled analysis with SOC Auto-Focus
- Instantly stop the spread of an active threat, automatically isolating compromised endpoints
- Stay ahead of the latest threats, automatically blocking malicious traffic with constantly-updated threat intelligence
- Build custom tools and dashboards using Blumira API, seamlessly weaving security into your existing workflows
Looking Forward
We think security tools should make sense and make your job easier, not give you a headache or homework you don’t need. By matching our editions to the security functions they support, we're making it easier for everyone to find the right solution for their needs – whether you’re just starting to figure out your security strategy, or ready to take it to the next level. This change is just one part of our ongoing commitment to making security operations accessible, effective, and (dare I say it?) actually enjoyable to use. Still have questions about which edition is right for you? Drop us a line! We're always happy to talk through your security needs, without any buzzword bingo.
