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.
Digital forensics is about answering questions and building timelines. Who did what and when. When something malicious takes place on a computer there is evidence that can be collected and used to reconstruct what exactly happened. Depending on the type of events that need to be reconstructed, the evidence required may be difficult to retrieve. In order to make the lives of DFIR professionals easier, LimaCharlie has integrated the Velociraptor open source endpoint visibility tool.
My name is Mike Behrmann. I am the Director of Digital Forensics and Incident Response at Antigen Security. We are a DFIR-led consulting firm that specializes in incident response, recovery engineering, managed detection & response (MDR) and training. My job there is to oversee the DFIR practice itself: the people, the processes, the tooling, the cases and the customers. I'm an incident commander one minute, diving in like an analyst the next and even doing some business development.
We are squeaking this one in under the wire as we say goodbye to the second full year in this long pandemic. It has been a busy year with lots of new features and improvements. To get the new year started right we are putting on a joint webinar with our friends at Tines. As we go into 2022 we do so with hope and optimism that we will start moving towards a brighter future for all.
LimaCharlie provides everything you need to run modern cybersecurity operations, and it is also a great tool for builders. Our powerful web application is built using the publicly accessible API. There are no magic functions and we put the full power of the platform into the hands of those capable of wielding it. To demonstrate the kind of thing a user can easily build with LimaCharlie we have put together an interactive, embeddable dashboard.
Engineering is both an art and a science. It requires creative thinking but is bounded by a rigidity which enables measurement and progress. We can only see so far because we stand on the shoulders of giants… and because those giants kept really good notes. Cybersecurity is growing up and it has to. Cyber is no longer the domain of shadowy figures in hoodie sweatshirts, it now has a presence in the C-suite.
Another busy month for the team at LimaCharlie. Some of the highlights include the introduction of a new sensor type and our SOC 2 Type 2 certification. I will also take this opportunity to invite you to our first ever dev stream. Join the team at LimaCharlie for an interactive living room style discussion about all that has happened in the last year. Meet the team, learn about new features and the thinking behind them, as well as getting a glimpse of what is coming.
Security is an active market with new vendors emerging regularly. Here is a ”simple” example of what has become a common way to group companies in a logical way - a so-called cybersecurity technology map: This is a lot to take in, yet the above chart is one of the simplest illustrations available when searching “cybersecurity technology map”. A reasonable question could be - how did we get here?
