Overview
SocialGuard is an open-source cybersecurity and monitoring platform built to provide communities with real-time protection against malicious actors. Initially designed for Discord, the platform rapidly evolved into a scalable, API-driven ecosystem capable of securing digital communities of all sizes.
Developed and maintained by Nodsoft Systems (NSYS) since 2021, SocialGuard combines cutting-edge monitoring, reactive defense mechanisms, and advanced threat detection into a single cohesive solution. Its architecture leverages .NET technologies, modern cloud infrastructures, and low-latency messaging protocols to deliver actionable intelligence in milliseconds.
