Multi-agent security operations: LimaCharlie's architecture, built for auditability

May 8, 2026 By Daniel Ballmer In LimaCharlie
Most multi-agent security deployments fail in production not because the agents can't act, but because there's no shared context layer between them. When something goes wrong, the audit trail doesn't exist. In LimaCharlie, solving that problem is architectural, and the solution starts with how individual agents are defined.
