Lightweight Server Intrusion Prevention
Scantide Guard is designed for administrators who want focused host-level attack response without deploying a large endpoint or SIEM stack simply to stop repeated login abuse and obvious hostile probes.

What this Guard workflow covers
- Deterministic rules and explainable evidence
- No exploit attempts or active attack simulation
- Windows and Linux local firewall response
- Authentication, web and custom-log collectors
- Temporary, permanent and repeat-offender policy
- Country, Tor and reputation context
- Standalone or centralized operation
- Unified operational history of events and blocks
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
Does Guard use AI to decide who to block?
Guard is designed around deterministic evidence, explicit rules, thresholds and administrator policy rather than opaque AI decisions.
Is it an EDR replacement?
No. Guard addresses a narrower server abuse and intrusion-prevention problem. EDR products cover broader endpoint telemetry, process behavior and incident response.
Can it be used on a single server?
Yes. Guard is useful as a standalone host protector and can later be enrolled into Datacenter if centralized management is needed.
