Case Study: AdvantageCS achieves rapid cloud security and reduced alert fatigue with Blumira

Enhancing Security at AdvantageCS with Blumira Solutions

AdvantageCS, a 100‑person software and services company that builds managed SaaS products for publishers, needed to ensure its cloud‑hosted client data and Microsoft 365 environment weren’t an attack surface. With a small IT team wearing many hats, AdvantageCS sought a SIEM/cloud security solution that would be easy to deploy, reduce alert fatigue, and give actionable insight — and selected Blumira’s cloud security platform for those capabilities.

Blumira deployed rapidly (AdvantageCS had about 90% of applications and machines reporting after the initial call) and integrated with Microsoft 365, WatchGuard firewalls, Windows Server and Ruckus wireless, while a dedicated TAM and responsive SecOps reduced false positives and tuned detections. The platform detected a password‑spraying attack, provided remediation playbooks, cut alert noise, and — per a G2 comparison cited by AdvantageCS — was five times faster to implement than the average solution, delivering measurable security value quickly.
