Our Vision

Heard anything about breaches lately? Every week it seems like there's another story about a company being held for ransom or leaking customer data. How do we solve this issue? Enter Blumira!

Our team has spent decades delivering world-class detection and response. We have the platform, the vision, and the team to turn the tide. We’re democratizing good security by making it simple and affordable. Our mission is to empower smaller organizations that have been neglected, priced-out, or, simply—failed—by existing solutions. In helping them, we help their customers, and, overall, make the Internet a safer place.
