Our activities around sponsoring Open Source are not just limited to projects we rely on; we have also been supporting those that are important to the general Cybersecurity ecosystem and beyond. We're in this for the long haul and the most recent set of projects covers a very wide scope. We want to help ensure that everyone has sustainable Open Source for many years to come. Let's tell you about these new projects and why you should be aware of them.
January’s update is a little late but it is only because we are really busy with lots of big things coming. One of things we are looking forward to in the near-term is a webinar with one of our oldest and most valued customers: Soteria - Security Solutions & Advisory Join us this Valentines Day as we recount cybersecurity’s greatest love story and explore how Soteria leveraged their expertise - and the LimaCharlie platform - to create a successful MDR/DFIR business.
Which cultural values empower businesses to thrive today? That's an open question, of course. But I suspect most employees, managers, and analysts would include items like collaboration, transparency, and creativity on the list of essential ingredients in business success.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) entered the scene back in 2004 with the rise of payment fraud. Created by leaders in the credit card industry, PCI DSS was developed to provide a baseline of technical and operational requirements designed to protect cardholder payment data and was commonly understood by those in the legacy security world.
With new threat actors appearing every day, cybersecurity is becoming increasingly crucial, particularly in the automotive industry. One of the most well-known applications of the internet of things is connected vehicles. In reality, with between 70 and 100 Electronic Control Units (ECUs) integrated into each vehicle, automobiles have evolved to become the key players in internet-of-things environments.
Although commercial quantum computing may still be decades away, government agencies and industry experts agree that now is the time to prepare your cybersecurity landscape for the future. The power of quantum computing brings security complexities that we are only beginning to understand. Even now, our cybersecurity climate is getting hotter. The average cost of a data breach reached an all-time high in 2021, and the attack vector grows larger by the minute.
