LimaCharlie
SecOps platform providing EDR sensor infrastructure, telemetry pipelines, and detection APIs.
Technical Architecture & Overview
LimaCharlie provides security infrastructure as a service: an EDR sensor for Windows, macOS, and Linux, telemetry collection and data forwarding, detection and response rules, and extensions for third-party tools, billed on usage. The company describes the platform as built API-first and now markets it as an agentic SecOps platform for MSSPs and MDRs.
Targeted Technical Use Cases
Detection engineers and MSSPs assembling their own response stack from raw sensor telemetry.
Evaluation & Trade-offs
Core Strengths
- +API-first platform design.
- +Month-to-month usage billing with a single unified bill across multiple organizations.
- +Extensions for Velociraptor and Hayabusa.
Trade-Offs & Limitations
- -Costs scale per endpoint and per GB of telemetry beyond the free tier.
Defensive Security Application
Custom detection and response pipelines over endpoint telemetry.
