#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.

About Maxime:

After graduating from the University of Victoria with a degree in Computer Science Maxime began his career in cybersecurity working for the Canadian Government as part of the Communications Security Establishment (CSE). CSE is Canada's national cryptologic agency, providing the Government of Canada with information technology security and foreign signals intelligence. As part of the Canadian Intelligence apparatus, Maxime worked in positions ranging from the development of cyber defense technologies, Counter Computer Network Exploitation and Counter Intelligence.
