Cost effective cyber security monitoring for small and mid-sized businesses. Email, device, and web monitoring your team can turn on in minutes, priced by the seat or by what you actually use.
Large companies can afford broad platforms and can hire a team to manage the tooling. Small and mid-sized businesses can't afford the cost, the time to procure, or the time to manage the platform, and yet they are one large incident away from financial ruin.
Traditional platforms start at annual licenses in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, before integration, training, and maintenance push the real cost two to four times higher. That math never works for a team of ten. We price by the seat at $15/month or by the credits you actually spend, so the bill matches the size of the business.
Getting a major security platform from first call to full deployment routinely takes six to twelve months of demos, negotiation, and rollout. That is time an SMB simply doesn't have to give. Sign up, add credits or seats, and start running tools in under five minutes. No sales cycle, no multi-year contract, and free credits to try it without a credit card.
A platform you have to staff is a platform that becomes shelfware, which is how 60% of enterprise security tooling ends up underutilized. Our monitoring is low effort by design: deploy it to your users, let the findings collect on one central hub, and set alerting once so you never have to log into another tool.

The Blue Lantern Thesis
Blue Lantern Security helps SMBs with cost effective cybersecurity tooling by offering seat-based and usage-based pricing for user-centric monitoring technologies: email, device, and web. One platform, one wallet, one central hub for everything your team runs.
Browser, email, and device monitoring deployed to each of your users. Low effort to run, with findings searchable from the central hub so you get visibility into the risks actually facing your organization.
Instant, cloud-hosted tools accessible over the web or by API: email analysis, static malware analysis, URL detonation, QR conversion, and permissions context. Nothing to install and nothing to stand up.
An air-gapped Docker container for local CLI and UI scanning, covering static malware, code scanning, secrets scanning, and IAM analysis, with an optional MCP server. For the data that can't leave your environment.
Organizations, centralized monitoring, active alerting to email or your SIEM, and a managed phishing abuse inbox are included at no additional price.
Pick the model that matches how you work. Either way there are no contracts, no minimums, and free credits to start without a credit card.
Seat-Based
Buy licenses for the users you want monitored and deploy monitoring to their web traffic, email, and devices. There is no added cost for running any tool in the platform once a seat is licensed. A 10-person team runs $150/month, predictable and consistent. Add or remove seats on demand; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing month.
Usage-Based
Buy credit packs at your preferred volume tier, with discounts at scale. Credits never expire and roll over indefinitely, every tool shows its credit cost before it runs, and you're only charged after a successful execution, and usage errors are never billed. A typical user's day of active monitoring lands around $1.44.
