Designed around observable server evidence
Scantide Guard does not need to attack, exploit or brute-force a service to decide that repeated hostile activity deserves action. Collectors observe evidence already generated by the server, normalize it into a common event model, then apply explicit thresholds, allowlists, exceptions and enforcement policy.
The result is intended to be understandable by an administrator: which source IP was seen, which collector reported it, which rule or threshold was reached, what action Guard took, and when a temporary block is due to expire.
Standalone when you need it. Centralized when you grow.
A single Guard can protect its own server with local policy and local firewall enforcement. Organizations with multiple systems can add Scantide Guard Datacenter for shared policy, fleet visibility, licensing and coordinated reputation services.
Frequently asked questions
What does Datacenter add?
Datacenter adds centralized fleet visibility, policy distribution, shared services and coordinated administration. Individual Guard servers still perform local monitoring and enforcement.
Can Guard work without Datacenter?
Yes. Datacenter is optional for standalone systems and becomes useful as the number of protected servers grows.
Does Datacenter replace a SIEM?
No. Its goal is focused Guard operations and policy management rather than becoming a general-purpose log warehouse.
