LimaCharlie and Varist Form Alliance to Bring AI-Scale Malware Detection to MSSPs, MDR Providers and Enterprises Worldwide
Varist Extension Available in the LimaCharlie Marketplace Provides Easy Integration of Real-Time File Scanning and Analysis
LimaCharlie and Varist have forged an alliance to bring real-time AI-scale detection of known and unknown malware threats to customers via the LimaCharlie Marketplace. Managed security service providers (MSSPs) and enterprises that use the LimaCharlie Agentic SecOps Workspace to build their security stacks can integrate Varist’s Hybrid Detection Engine™ as an extension and begin scanning and analyzing malware threats within minutes.
“We’re already detecting AI that’s able to generate or alter malware to evade detection,” says Siggi Petursson, Chief Product Officer (CPO) at Varist. “Together, Varist and LimaCharlie equip security teams to scan every file — at any scale — and to find never-before-seen threats as quickly as AI can generate them.”
The LimaCharlie Agentic SecOps Workspace delivers essential tools for cloud-based security, empowering teams to design and optimize operations without building systems from the ground up. Varist provides AI-scale malware detection that combines hyperscale file scanning and real-time analysis to rate Zero-Day threats. Together, these best-in-class solutions enable:
Hyperscale scanning of ~500 files per second
Evaluation of Zero-Days 1,000X faster than sandboxing
Reduced operations costs with just 0.001% false positives rates
“Our alliance with Varist lets us extend world-class detection to new and existing customers so they can build scalable, end-to-end security solutions that evolve to keep pace with threats,” says Maxime Lamothe-Brassard, founder and CEO at LimaCharlie. “The Varist engine simulates and predicts the behavior of novel threats creating a unique and powerful advantage in the race to defend against AI.”
LimaCharlie is a cloud-native Agentic SecOps Workspace where AI agents operate security infrastructure directly. Founded in 2018, LimaCharlie provides complete API coverage across detection, response, automation, and telemetry, with multi-tenant architecture designed for MSSPs and MDR providers managing thousands of unique client environments. .
