Can you introduce yourself and tell us what you do and what your company does? I'm Simon Eklund and I work for Cparta Cyber Defense as the lead for DFIR. DFIR is quite self-explanatory, but the company itself is quite new. The focus for the company is Swedish infrastructure and IP(Intellectual Property) and it is quite an interesting company to work with since it's quite different from other start-ups or new companies.
It is the end of the month and the end of the quarter. It has been a big one here at LimaCharlie. We have grown the team and released three new sensor types built on our new open-source adapter, and this is just the beginning. We are also starting something new. For an hour every Friday, we are going to be holding office hours starting at 9.00 AM PT.
Following our recent announcement about supporting the open source community, LimaCharlie is excited to share that we have decided to sponsor the IntelOwl project.
The cybersecurity landscape is shifting because it has to. The breadth of challenges facing defenders is vast and we are constantly reminded about how unpredictable security can be with zero-days such as the recent Log4Shell vulnerability. New tools and a community-based approach offer a way forward in the face of overwhelming complexity.
At LimaCharlie, we are building a world where people and organizations can realize their full potential without compromising security along the way. We believe that it’s best to leave security in the hands of security professionals while enabling them with powerful tools to do what they can do best. For us, these are not just words. It’s a core belief that guides everything we do. Security is about people.
We are very excited to announce the launch of the new, improved LimaCharlie website (yes, this one!). The new site allows content to load faster, and, enhanced by a polished design, reflects the level of professionalism we exemplify. Overall, the new website facilitates a clear understanding of the value proposition our product encompasses. However, these are not the only reasons why we are so excited about it.
We are a couple of days late with the developer roll up for February but it is only because we are so busy! This is a huge update despite it being for the shortest month of the year, and we are not done yet: expect some even bigger announcements throughout March.
LimaCharlie is continuously expanding the list of difficult problems it solves for security, incident response, cloud engineering and DevSecOps teams across a broad range of customers. Along with an advanced EDR, log aggregation, automations engine, software-defined networking, artifact ingestion, and an operational console for security teams, LimaCharlie now offers the ability to bring in external logs and telemetry from any source.
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.
