Case Study: City of Murrieta Achieves Rapid Ransomware Visibility with Blumira SIEM

City of Murrieta - Customer Case Study

The City of Murrieta, a local government organization, needed better visibility into a ransomware incident while also managing limited budgets and strict CJIS compliance requirements. Blumira helped the city respond quickly, using its SIEM to investigate malicious activity and determine the scope of the attack.

With Blumira deployed in their Microsoft 365 environment, the City of Murrieta began seeing actionable alerts within 10 minutes, including suspicious logins from outside the United States and credential changes, revealing the attack had spread to cloud systems. Blumira’s ease of use, automation, and 24/7 Security Operations support helped the city evaluate and remediate the incident faster, with the IT leader noting Blumira was often hours faster than their previous MDR provider.
