In this blog post we'll walk you through the essential steps of getting started with LimaCharlie's SecOps Cloud Platform. This guide is designed for technical security professionals who want to leverage LimaCharlie's capabilities to enhance their organization's security posture. By the end of this guide you will have configured your organization in LimaCharlie, deployed sensors, and enabled detection and response rules.

The recent financial crisis surrounding MITRE and the CVE program has sent shockwaves through the cybersecurity industry. For decades, CVEs have been the de facto index of software vulnerabilities. They’ve structured how we communicate, prioritize, and track issues across the ecosystem. But now, with their future uncertain, we’re forced to ask: what if the CVE system collapses? And more importantly—what should come next?

If there’s one truth in payments, it’s this: the network always wins. Think of what Visa and Mastercard created: not just payment rails, but global ecosystems of merchants, issuers, acquirers, and processors. Their networks didn’t just move money—they connected entire economies. As digital assets move into the mainstream, the same principle applies. But the networks of tomorrow won’t be built on closed systems and settlement delays.

Let’s be honest — when most people hear “cybersecurity training,” their eyes glaze over faster than a workstation running Windows 98. But here’s the kicker: 74% of data breaches still involve a human element, whether through social engineering, errors, or misuse, according to Verizon’s 2023 DBIR. That’s not just a stat — it’s a blinking neon sign pointing to the importance of cybersecurity culture.

On April 16, 2025, fixes were released for a maximum severity vulnerability in Erlang/OTP SSH, CVE-2025-32433. Erlang/OTP SSH is a library within the Erlang/OTP platform, typically used in telecommunications, messaging, IoT, and distributed applications. CVE-2025-32433 allows unauthenticated remote threat actors to achieve remote code execution (RCE) in the SSH daemon. The issue arises due to a flaw in SSH protocol message handling, which permits the sending of protocol messages before authentication.

Cybersecurity is not merely about firewalls and antivirus anymore—now, your biggest vulnerability might be a third-party vendor. As companies more and more depend on outside partners, third-party hacks have become one of the biggest threats to business security.

Your organization’s attack surface extends far beyond your direct control. Exposed cloud assets, vulnerable APIs, and the security posture of your third-party vendors all introduce significant risks. Understanding and managing this external exposure is paramount. Effective External Risk Management (ERM) provides the critical visibility and intelligence needed to proactively address these threats.
