Blumira launches AI-powered SOC Auto-Focus to transform threat response for MSPs

Blumira unveils SOC Auto-Focus, an AI-driven tool designed to slash investigation times and empower MSPs with enhanced contextual insights, supporting faster, smarter security responses.

Blumira has announced the launch of SOC Auto-Focus, an AI-powered security investigation tool designed to help IT teams and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) improve threat detection and incident response. SOC Auto-Focus aims to reduce alert fatigue and accelerate security operations by delivering contextual intelligence and expert guidance, enhancing rather than replacing human decision-making. According to Matt Warner, CEO of Blumira, the solution offers the critical context and expertise needed for teams to make faster, better-informed decisions, thereby amplifying human intelligence and supporting the growth of security expertise through each investigation.

Unlike conventional AI security tools that often require extensive training and deliver analysis devoid of environmental context, SOC Auto-Focus functions immediately upon deployment. It leverages Blumira’s deep security expertise embedded into the platform, offering recommendations based on proven security practices rather than algorithmic guesswork. SOC Auto-Focus translates complex technical alerts into plain-language summaries and highlights their potential impact. Travis Short, SOC Analyst at NineStar Connect, praised the tool for bridging knowledge gaps instantly, saving significant time otherwise spent on manual investigation or external research.

SOC Auto-Focus equips security teams with instant context by summarising security events in accessible language and clarifying what these events usually indicate. It provides clear prioritisation through criticality levels, recommended response timeframes, and transparent confidence ratings. Further, it offers guided response workflows with step-by-step investigation and remediation actions crafted by Blumira’s security experts. These features enable organisations to reduce mean time to respond (MTTR), achieve higher successful remediation rates, minimise repeat incidents, and boost confidence among IT personnel. The tool also delivers in-the-moment education on risk patterns and security best practices, helping teams build expertise continuously.

In tandem with SOC Auto-Focus, Blumira has expanded its MSP partner program to meet rising demand for scalable security solutions. Enhancements include advanced multi-tenant management capabilities, streamlined onboarding processes for MSP clients, and improved reporting tools that simplify compliance documentation across numerous customer environments. These enhancements are complemented by integrations with popular platforms like ConnectWise PSA, allowing for accelerated security response times, and advanced Microsoft 365 threat response capabilities accessible directly within Blumira’s portal. The program also now offers a new API integration for flexible access to security information, exclusive pricing, sales coaching, and a co-marketing initiative to support MSP business growth.

Blumira’s comprehensive MSP program has received outstanding recognition, earning a 5-star rating in the 2025 CRN Partner Program Guide. This accolade highlights Blumira’s dedication to supporting MSPs with a flexible licensing model, robust onboarding and sales support, and access to free Not-for-Resale (NFR) licensing. The program is designed for ease of use, featuring quick log integration, pre-tuned detection rules, and 24/7 SecOps support tailored for MSP needs. Additionally, the newly launched MSP Portal simplifies SIEM setup and management by enabling service managers and help desk technicians to easily add and edit customer accounts, offering a global view of clients by organisation and user. Blumira supports MSPs with a Partner Marketing Kit, equipping them with resources to educate their customers and effectively promote security services.

Through these advancements, Blumira aims to empower both IT teams and MSPs to navigate increasingly complex cyber threats with enhanced efficiency, contextual awareness, and expert guidance, underscoring a strategic shift toward augmenting human expertise with sophisticated AI capabilities rather than attempting to replace it.
