There is an old Japanese proverb "灯台下暗し" which translates to "It's darkest at the bottom of the lighthouse". Meaning: it's hard to see what's going on right underneath you.

For developers hosting on VPS services, observable security metrics are crucial to know precisely how IP addresses around the internet are trying to mess with your server. SecDash was created to increase this observability. A real-time security observability platform built for developers and non-developers, sysadmins, and anyone managing their own infrastructure. It shows you who's knocking on your server, where they’re from, how often they’re trying, and what they’re trying to do. It analyzes suspicious activity using AI, correlates data across multiple tools, and even runs behind-the-scenes automation, banning malicious IPs and surfacing patterns you might’ve missed.

SecDash is the lamp post at the base of your lighthouse.
