The SecOps Cloud Platform (SCP) is LimaCharlie’s vision for the future of cybersecurity. The SCP delivers core cybersecurity capabilities and infrastructure API-first, on-demand, and pay-per-use. It’s a paradigm shift similar to what the IT public cloud did for IT—but for cybersecurity. The SCP model benefits nearly everyone working in security today, from large organizations and enterprise security teams to managed service providers and SMBs.

Across the globe, the financial services sector is affected by increased security regulations. To name a few, there is the United States’ Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity, the European Union’s NIS2 Directive, the SEC’s new rules on disclosures, and ISO 20022.

The annual holiday shopping season is poised for a surge in spending, a fact well-known to retailers, consumers, and cybercriminals alike.

Unlike holiday shoppers flocking to stores or browsing online during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, these adversaries don't adhere to a seasonal schedule.

In a supply chain attack, hackers aim to breach a target's defenses by exploiting vulnerabilities in third-party companies. These attacks typically follow one of two paths. The first involves targeting a service provider or contractor, often a smaller entity with less robust security. The second path targets software developers, embedding malicious code into their products. This code, masquerading as a legitimate update, may later infiltrate the IT systems of customers.

You have kicked-off your annual application security assessment, but by the time the final report comes in, so have a bunch of new features from your developers. Since your pen test report can’t keep-up with your modern development cycles, it is now (and always) obsolete. You can check-off your compliance checkbox, but you’re not anymore secure than you were before. If this sounds familiar, it is clearly time for an update.

If you’re responsible for creating a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule, you’ll almost certainly need to reference a large list of potential values that each field can have. And having to manually manage and enter all those fields, for numerous WAF rules, would be a guaranteed headache.
