Incident Response

LimaCharlie gives IR teams infrastructure they can stand up mid-engagement. Sensors deploy in seconds across Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS, telemetry is retained for a full year, and billing is usage-based, so a firm pays only for the endpoints and data involved in each case.

How an engagement runs on LimaCharlie
01

Deploy

Generate an installation key and push sensors to affected systems. They report in within seconds. Firms on retainer can pre-deploy sensors in sleeper mode across a client fleet and activate them the moment an incident starts, skipping deployment entirely on the worst day to be deploying.

02

Collect

Endpoint telemetry streams alongside ingested artifacts. Windows Event Logs, Zeek network data, cloud logs, and memory captures land in one searchable timeline instead of four separate consoles.

03

Investigate

Search the full retained history to establish dwell time and initial access, run YARA scans across memory and disk, and pivot from any indicator to every host where it appears.

04

Respond

Isolate compromised endpoints from the network while keeping the LimaCharlie channel open for continued investigation, kill processes, and collect forensic artifacts before remediation destroys them.

05

Report

Every action taken during the engagement is logged. Export the case record as the backbone of the client report.

What it costs

There are no contracts and no minimums. Spin up a tenant for an engagement, run it for three weeks, and shut it down. Black Hills Information Security halved its cost per endpoint on LimaCharlie while doubling the number of customers its team can support.
