LimaCharlie Lands $10.2 Million Series A Funding to Transform Security Operations

Catch Maxime Lamothe-Brassard on the CISO Series podcast where they discuss vendor consolidation, EDRs, and, of course, the SecOps Cloud Platform.

Hosts of the Cloud Security Podcast by Google, Anton Chuvakin and Timothy Peacock, interview Maxime Lamothe-Brassard at LimaCharlie about an engineering-led approach to security.

In this two-part series, Maxime Lamothe-Brassard joins the Detection: Challenging Paradigms podcast to discuss how LimaCharlie identified a problem in the industry and how it seeks to solve it.

In this episode of Hacker Valley Studio, Maxime Lamothe-Brassard walks through his founder’s journey and points out the problems that are begging for innovative solutions from the brightest minds in cyber.

In this episode of the Angelneers podcast, Maxime Lamothe-Brassard, co-founder and CEO of LimaCharlie, talks about bringing an engineering approach to cybersecurity through the Security Infrastructure as a Service (SIaaS) model and its implications.

LimaCharlie CEO/Founder Maxime Lamothe-Brassard joins The CyberWire to discuss how security is at a stage now where we can use shared understandings to talk about how to detect and defend against specific attacks, what they look like, and how they can be tested against.

In this episode we discuss the future of what’s known in the security industry as XDR, which is essentially an enrichment of endpoint detection response products.

Join us as we discuss:

• Moving past promise-based security positions to knowable security
• The extra level of control and breadth of security you receive with LimaCharlie
• How infinite scalability enables support of both security and compliance
• Doubling down on low-code approaches and integrations

Nearly every business out there has embraced the pay-as-you-go cloud model for consuming technology and services, and the trend shows no sign of slowing. Why not make cybersecurity tools available à la carte, in a self-service model? Scale up, scale down, stack capabilities like Lego blocks, and get a monthly bill, just like Amazon Web Services (AWS) or other public cloud environments.

LimaCharlie has raised $5.45 million in seed financing in an oversubscribed round led by Susa Ventures, with participation from Xerox Ventures, CoFound Partners, Long Journey Ventures, Sands Capital, StoneMill Ventures, as well as existing investor, Lytical Ventures. This brings the company's total funding to $6.35 million, at a current valuation of $24 million.

Cybersecurity is not going to get simpler or easier; rather, it is going to get more mature. We are going to have to get cybersecurity professionals with a better core understanding of the fundamentals, and not just being users of tools.

This week, Brad and Evan sit down with special guest Max of LimaCharlie to discuss how their businesses are doing things differently, and the importance of transparency in cybersecurity products.

On this episode of the InfoQ Podcast, Thomas Betts talks with Maxime Lamothe-Brassard about cybersecurity. Understanding security is very similar to understanding software architecture, with general concepts applicable to everyone, and specific needs that depend on your situation. The discussion covers roles and responsibilities, DevSecOps, and the current and future state of cloud-native security.

Maxime Lamothe-Brassard, founder of LimaCharlie, has worked for Crowdstrike, Google X and Chronicle Security before starting his own company. This episode goes deep into thinking about your long-term career strategies, so don’t miss this one if you’re thinking about where you want to go in cybersecurity in two, five or even 10 years from now.

In this podcast, Maxime discusses his career journey from Canadian intelligence, to being an early team member at CrowdStrike, to Google, to the founding team of Chronicle , and then founding LimaCharlie.

During this conversation we go deep into:

• Why it’s important to simplify the cyber security ecosystem
• What a modern cyber security team looks like
• How the corporate roles of IT and cyber security have evolved
• The ROI of implementing cyber security to manage your organization's risk

A discussion about the security primitives for an effective security program, being active in the community, supply chain security, and the future of security engineering infrastructure.

The business of Security is gaining in maturity, from being an obscure corner of IT to becoming a core part of the C-Suite. How is this transformation happening and what can we learn from the similar trend that occurred in IT for the last decade?

Maxime Lamothe-Bressard joins Nate and Joshua for a discussion on the ways LimaCharlie is removing the roadblocks for working with some of the most important data points for Incident Responders and SOC analysts: file execution telemetry.

Excellent and invigorating discussion on the gaps in EDR/EPP and what to do about them with Maxime Lamothe-Brassard, founder of LimaCharlie.io

• avoiding tool proliferation
• avoiding the jedi mind trick of EPP
• identify gaps in a lot of EDR/EPPs
• challenges with outsourced SOC
• supply chain risk in toolset vendors
• paradigms around security tools and training

Cybersecurity control testing is an important part of any organizations approach to protecting assets. We explain MITRE ATT&CK framework, Atomic Red Team, and the Lima Charlie EDR solution on a Windows Server in a test lab. We will be demonstrating by running atomic red team on a Windows server that is configured to be protected by the Lima Charlie’s EDR.

EDR is the way of the modern SOC but getting access to learn EDR is challenging for students and hobbyists.

LimaCharlie offers up to 2 agents to get experience and exposure of a full-featured platform. We go through how to install it, some of the common functionality, and how you can leverage it for career development.

LimaCharlie, the market leader for delivering Information Security Infrastructure as a Service (SIaaS), has secured pre-seed funding to accelerate growth and support its continued success.
