In brief · compiled from dadavisdesignsllc.com

What is it?
It is a self-hosted security platform that monitors networks and endpoints, checks email and vulnerabilities, and can automatically quarantine devices when ransomware is detected.
Who is it for?
It is for small and mid-sized businesses that need to monitor their own networks without a managed-service contract.
How does it work?
You download and install it in your own environment. It monitors the LAN, scans endpoints with Windows and Linux agents, reports findings through alerts and dashboards, and can block or quarantine devices when ransomware is detected.
What does it cost?
There is a free 30-day trial with no credit card required. The early-adopter platform license costs $1,495 one time, and optional support and updates cost $199 per month.

Why I built this

After more than ten years as a SOC analyst, I kept seeing the same gap. Small businesses face the same threats as large companies, but they can't afford the tools or the analysts to watch them. I built CUDP to give them what I wished I'd had on shift: one place to see everything, alerts with the evidence already attached, fewer false alarms, and clear next steps. It's a SOC analyst's workflow, packaged so a small team can run it without a SOC.

— Anthony Davis

Cyber Unified Defense Platform (CUDP) is a self-hosted security monitoring platform built for small businesses, schools and home labs with 5 to 15 endpoints. One install gives you endpoint detection, file integrity and data-loss monitoring, threat intelligence feeds, DNS sinkholing, email security and phishing checks, automatic blocking of ransomware and high-risk activity, and a local AI assistant that triages alerts, so your data never leaves your network. It checks suspicious email before it alerts, so you get fewer false alarms and every alert comes with evidence. There's no cloud account and no analyst required, and it runs on a modest 8 to 16 GB server.
