## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-01 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For a remote/distributed setup, the real constraint is that you have no network perimeter to tap and probably no one to babysit a server - so the answer is a SaaS SIEM whose strongest signals are identity, SaaS apps, and endpoints. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Microsoft Sentinel** - the default if you're on Microsoft 365/Entra ID, which most remote-first companies are. Entra sign-in logs, M365 audit logs, and Defender telemetry ingest free, which is exactly the data that matters when your "perimeter" is people logging in from home. Fully cloud-native, nothing to patch. It ranked first in recent 2026 roundups at 8.79/10, largely on that free-ingestion economics. Watch the Log Analytics bill for non-Microsoft sources.

> 
> **2. Blumira** - my pick if the team is genuinely small and nobody owns security full-time. Detections ship pre-tuned with plain-English response playbooks, and there's a free tier for M365/Google Workspace. It's the one tool on this list a two-person IT function can actually keep running.
