Case Study: The City of Crescent City achieves easier security coverage and ransomware protection with Blumira

The City of Crescent City chose Blumira for its threat mitigation, reporting and automation at an affordable cost

The City of Crescent City, a small state and local government with about 60 employees, faced a security challenge with a 1-person IT team that needed better network visibility and ransomware protection. Traditional syslog tools weren’t enough, and the city needed an easy-to-manage solution that fit limited IT and security resources.

Blumira provided a cloud-based SIEM with out-of-the-box integrations, guided remediation, dashboards, reporting, and automated threat hunting. The city was able to get a working trial running in an afternoon, quickly cover its servers, and improve alerting and visibility across the environment, with Blumira even surfacing some threats before endpoint detection did.
