Matthew Warner
CTO and Co-founder, Blumira
Matt founded Blumira after searching in vain for a SIEM that would meet the needs of small to midsize businesses (SMB). He found existing threat detection and response platforms to be overly complex, expensive, and difficult to maintain. Matt developed the concept that would become Blumira when he was Director of Security Services at NetWorks Group, a managed security services provider (MSSP) with a focus on compliance and ethical hacking.
Matt brings nearly two decades of IT and cybersecurity experience to his leadership position, as well as a passion for cybersecurity education, especially for SMBs. Through webinars, articles, podcasts, and conference sessions, Matthew shares actionable advice that under-resourced and time-strapped IT teams can really use.
