The team at LimaCharlie continues on its mission to develop the concept of Security Infrastructure as a Service. We added three new team members during the month of June with more coming! We also hosted a webinar on securing your CI/CD pipeline built around some new capabilities we added which allow for the ingestion and monitoring of GitHub audit logs. You can watch a recording of that webinar here: SecDevOps & LimaCharlie - Automating and auditing of GitHub access

The market for cybersecurity solutions is changing, but the way vendors sell security products seems stuck in the past. There’s a lot that can be said about this, but here we want to raise an issue that isn’t talked about enough: Is cybersecurity sales culture, itself, bad for cybersecurity?

Please introduce yourself and tell us what you do, and what your company does. I’m Kimber Dowsett and I’m a Director at Krebs Stamos Group(KSG). We conduct cybersecurity consultancy engagements for high-profile organizations that may or may not have experienced a high-profile breach or acquisition, or simply want a world-class assessment of their org’s overall security posture.

Endpoints as well as applications such as AWS, Google Cloud, Office 365, 1Password, Slack, and thousands of others produce vast amounts of data. The volume of security data is growing, and this growth will continue for the foreseeable future. This, in turn, leads to several challenges: To solve these problems, many companies have adopted Splunk as their SIEM (security information and event management) platform.

At LimaCharlie, we believe that for the cybersecurity industry to innovate, people need cost-effective access to security infrastructure. In the same way that the emergence of cloud computing has enabled small teams to access the computing power that was previously only available to large enterprises, access to scalable cybersecurity infrastructure will enable more security professionals to build the future they believe in.

In case you missed the news, LimaCharlie has raised 5.45 million dollars in an oversubscribed seed round led by Susa Ventures, with participation from Xerox Ventures, CoFound Partners, Long Journey Ventures, Sands Capital, StoneMill Ventures, as well as existing investor, Lytical Ventures. The money is going to be used to expand engineering and to build out our go-to-market strategy.
