This investment will allow the company to continue to innovate on the latest threat detection and response technology.
Founded in 2018, Blumira has strategically expanded its team of engineers, security, marketing, sales and operations hired by Duo Security, Censys and the National Security Agency (NSA).
The current rise in remote work poses cyber security challenges with increased reliance on remote access, collaboration and productivity tools. Blumira addresses these challenges by automating security operations workflows to enable customers to identify threats faster and earlier, and then respond by blocking or containing their impact.
In an effort to disrupt legacy SIEM platforms (Security Information & Event Management) on the market, Blumira’s cloud-based solution is designed to help teams with limited security expertise deploy threat detection capabilities within hours for immediate security value.
“We are committed to providing real security value while the local Midwest Infosec community continues to grow,” said Steve Fuller, CEO of Blumira. “Our mission is to provide customers with a way to defend themselves against the latest attacks-even if they do not have an SOC (Security Operations Center) “That’s right.
The round was led by Chicago-based M25, an early-stage Midwest-focused VC firm; with additional investment from Array Ventures, a San Francisco-based venture capital firm.
“Remote work has resulted in more potential violations than ever before, as organizations struggle without security resources and visibility. Blumira integrates with any existing service, deploys within hours and provides immediate value by identifying threats and automating remediation. We’re excited that this effort is being led by a first-class team and excellent consultants,” said Mike Asem.
“The Blumira team has built a simple, easy-to-use product that customers always love and need, especially in this era of remote work,” said Array Ventures General Partner Shruti Gandhi.
