The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast #49 - The history of LimaCharlie with Founder & CEO, Maxime Lamothe-Brassard
On this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, we sit down with LimaCharlie Founder & CEO, Maxime Lamothe-Brassard, and talk about the history and vision of the SecOps Cloud Platform.
About the SecOps Cloud Platform:
The SecOps Cloud Platform is a construct for delivering the core components needed to secure and monitor any given organization: things like, deploying endpoint capabilities through a single agent regardless of the technology, alerting and correlating from logs regardless of the source, automating analysis and response regardless of the environment.
The SecOps Cloud Platform is:
- An environment where many solutions can exist, not as a collection of random tools, but as a series of cybersecurity solutions designed to interoperate in an un-opinionated way, from the ground up; where powerful systems can be put in place at incredible speeds.
- An environment fundamentally open through APIs, documentation, integrability, affordability; making it a neutral space for all cybersecurity professionals, whether they’re in enterprise, services or vendors to build appropriate solutions.
The SecOps Cloud Platform is not where data goes to die—it’s a fabric, a sandbox ready for you to use, but also ready to disseminate data and insights to other systems as needed in cost-effective ways.
