Case Study: Path Forward achieves improved visibility and ransomware protection with Blumira

Path Forward IT Partners with Blumira for Security

Path Forward IT, a managed service provider operating across 30+ states and supporting about 40 clients (many in healthcare), needed deeper visibility into network and Windows events to boost security posture, meet HIPAA expectations, and proactively prevent ransomware after seeing incidents like Kaseya. They selected Blumira’s cloud SIEM and security operations service to avoid heavy log-forwarding and monitoring overhead while gaining robust detection capabilities.

Blumira quickly integrated its cloud SIEM with Path Forward’s Carbon Black, Windows, SonicWall and Palo Alto environments, deployed honeypots, and provided multi-tenant management and 24/7 SecOps; rolling out Blumira to a new customer takes about four hours. As a result, Path Forward uncovered previously unknown risks (plaintext password files, unexpected SSH connections), sped detection and remediation, simplified daily work across clients, and materially strengthened ransomware prevention and compliance posture with actionable alerts and expert-backed playbooks.
