Transparent and flexible

Our Mission

At LimaCharlie, we are building a world where people and organizations can realize their full potential without compromising security along the way.

How we achieve it

As security engineers, we know that security is a process, not a feature. The best way to build a security posture is to build it on top of transparent controls and infrastructure which can be observed, tested and enhanced. It is not built on promises from vendors which must be taken at face value.

This means that the exact set of malicious activity and behavior you're protected from should be known, and you should be able to test/prove this. It also means that if you can describe something you want to detect and prevent, you should be able to apply it unilaterally, without vendor intervention.

LimaCharlie enables security practitioners to maintain full control of their operations, while equipping them with the professional-grade tools and infrastructure required to keep the world safe. 

Our Story

LimaCharlie was founded by ex-Google, ex-Chronicle, ex-Italian National Security Technology Center security and engineering professionals as an answer to four fundamental, yet unmet needs.

Need for Transparency 

Historically, the security industry has not been transparent to consumers or security professionals. LimaCharlie stands on the principle of full transparency and we believe this is what the security market of the future needs to look like. 

Need for Control

Security professionals have been forced to either stitch their infrastructure from open-source solutions, build it fully in house, or rely on vendors to deliver on their promise. LimaCharlie enables security professionals to have full control over their security infrastructure that does not dictate how they do things, or force them in any direction. 

Need for Scale

As organizations grow, it’s no longer enough to connect multiple products built by different companies into one “solution”. To address the need for scale, it’s imperative to be building for scale from day one - to think about latency and integration when you plan every single feature, and to do it API-first. 

Need for Innovation

Security vendors often require a minimum number of endpoints and a multi-year contract before you can get started. LimaCharlie is democratizing access to security infrastructure by allowing users to get started with powerful tools and infrastructure for free, without having to do the capacity planning or put in their credit card.

Having evolved from an open-source project, LimaCharlie continues to deliver on its promise and enable security teams to regain control of their security posture.
