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?
LimaCharlie has successfully completed its Service Organization and Control (SOC 2) audit. The audit was conducted by the Johanson Group, a leading professional service firm that focuses on SOC 2 & 3 examinations for public and private companies. The Johanson Group counts Cisco, Symantec and Broadcom among their many clients. They have members on the team that are Certified Information System Auditors (CISA) and are Certified Information Systems Security Personnel (CISSP).
The development roll up this month hints at some of the big improvements we have planned for the web application. Getting new users onto the platform doing the things they came to do quickly and easily is the central theme. LimaCharlie is working to make it easy and intuitive to create the scalable security solutions you need.
LimaCharlie is lucky to have some really amazing people on the platform. During the course of operating our business we often get to interact with our customers and sometimes those customers become friends: Stefan Waldvogel is one of these people. Stefan has had a very interesting journey on his way to becoming a cybersecurity professional and we asked him to share his story.
