Open source as a philosophy was born alongside the Internet at a time when the world was much more optimistic. The naysayers said it couldn’t be done, that it wasn’t secure, and that it was just a matter of time before all these projects failed. Fast forward 30-40 years and the open source ecosystem is thriving. Linux runs on the top 500 super computers in the world, almost 95% of the world’s servers, and 85% of all smart phones.

The top cyber news stories you need to know about right now. Microsoft Security Threat Intelligence is reporting on the Raspberry Robin worm, having infected at least 3000 systems across 1000 organizations at time of this report. First reported by Red Canary in September, Raspberry Robin is spread via USB drive (yes this is still a viable attack vector, and very similar to how Stuxnet initially kicked off). It has very similar technical behavior to the FakeUpdates malvertising campaigns.

LimaCharlie sits down with Chris Gebhardt, the CISO at Synoptek, to learn a little about their journey and explore some of their ideas around cybersecurity.

It's been a busy 3 months at LimaCharlie. Let's review some of what we've released.

We are pulling together several cybersecurity founders to talk about their companies, their experiences, lessons they have learned, and things they wished they knew. All of this with the intent of imparting some knowledge and inspiring those that may be sitting on the sidelines. Innovation is the lifeblood of cybersecurity and we want to do everything we can to get more people in the game.

The team at LimaCharlie has been heads down working on making some big improvements to the platform. This month we have been doing a lot of work to make the function of imported rules more visible. At LimaCharlie we believe cybersecurity needs to be transparent: the exact set of malicious activity and behavior you’re protected from should be known and you should be able to test/prove this. Users can now click on individual rules from Sigma and Soteria rulesets; they can see the content of all Sigma rules, as well as enable/disable individual rules from both rulesets.
