Case Study: TAS United secures remote BYOD workforce and achieves PCI DSS compliance with Blumira

TAS United replaced Splunk with Blumira for usability, easier search and investigation, faster deployment and greater visibility

TAS United, a Texas-based telecommunications company supporting a distributed, mostly remote call-center workforce, needed to secure employees using personal devices (BYOD) and meet PCI DSS logging and reporting requirements. Their existing Splunk SIEM was too complex and time-consuming for a lean IT team, so they looked for a more user-friendly solution and evaluated Blumira’s cloud SIEM/automated threat detection and response platform.

Blumira replaced Splunk with a lightweight, easy-to-deploy solution—standing up a proof of concept in days and the full stack in a day or two—and integrated with Fortinet FortiGate, Windows Defender, Active Directory, Azure, Office 365 and Linux. Blumira’s managed parsers, detection rules and playbooks gave TAS United much greater visibility, faster investigations, and less fine-tuning, enabling the company to meet PCI DSS requirements, pass a third‑party assessment, increase team productivity, and win business from a compliance‑conscious customer.
