What usually goes wrong on a small company's server
- Nobody is watching. The first sign of a break-in is a customer saying the site looks strange.
- The password login that was meant to be temporary is still on.
- Software that was current when the server was built has not been updated since.
- A developer who left still has a key on the server.
- The backup that everyone assumes is running stopped in March.
What SecAI does without being asked
Every server on the internet is attacked from the day it exists, mostly by automated guessing at the login. On a server set to Automatic, SecAI blocks an address after its third failed attempt within thirty minutes, using the firewall already on the server, and the block lifts itself after 24 hours. Your own address is never blocked, and if a block ever does catch you, the email about it has a "Let me in" link that lifts it. That is the only thing SecAI does on its own. It is also most of what attacks a small server.
What it asks you about, in plain words
Anything that changes your server waits for you: tightening a setting, updating software, restarting a service. The request says what it wants to do, why, what will happen, and how it is undone, in a sentence you can read without a security background. If you approve a fix and it breaks something, the server puts the old setting back by itself and tells you. Every day you get one summary of what happened on each server: what SecAI handled, what you handled, what it is keeping an eye on, and anything that needs an expert.
A weekly review you would otherwise pay a consultant for
Once a week, and whenever you ask, an AI audit reads the server's state, which services are exposed, how logins are configured, what software has known flaws, who has access, and returns a short ranked list with the evidence for each item. It is not a penetration test and it can be wrong, which is why every item shows what it was based on. It turns "is the server all right?" into a list you can act on or hand to whoever looks after the server.
Start by finding out where you stand
Three free tools need no account. The server security checklist is 21 plain questions for the person who owns the server but not the security job. The SSH checker reads your login settings in your browser. The server assessment runs one read-only command and gives a green, amber or red verdict with the reasons. If the verdict is red, fix that first; monitoring a server that is already compromised is the wrong order.
What it costs, and what it is not
Plans start at $69 a month per server, with a 14-day free trial and no card required to start; the pricing page has the current plans and what each includes. SecAI is software, not a staffed service: nobody at SecAI is watching your server at night, the software is, and when you ask for help a person at Tech Steps answers. It is not antivirus, and it does not replace backups, updates or a sensible password policy. It tells you when those are missing.
