Case Study: Upward Sports achieves easier PCI-compliant security monitoring with Blumira

Finding Security Value That Goes Beyond Log Retention

Upward Sports, a nonprofit sports organization with a small IT team, needed a SIEM that would do more than retain logs for PCI DSS compliance. Microsoft Sentinel was too complex and time-consuming for their needs, so they looked for a simpler, more manageable security solution that could provide better visibility across their cloud and endpoint environment.

Blumira provided its SIEM along with pre-built detections, guided playbooks, and the Blumira Agent for easier endpoint monitoring across Windows, Mac, and Linux. Upward Sports said Blumira was easier to deploy and maintain than Sentinel, helped alert on millions of logs they couldn’t manually monitor, and offered responsive personal support at a lower total cost of ownership than hiring a full-time security employee.
