Safa Paksu's profile on Product Hunt

About

Information security practitioner and auditor at a public institution in Turkey, where I lead ISMS (ISO 27001) management and system/security audits. My background spans physical & environmental security systems, SIEM operations, and enterprise IT administration across Windows, Linux, and macOS. I've been writing about security and technology since 2006 as the founder of Spaksu Blog, one of Turkey's earliest blogs. That long-running interest in making security understandable â€” combined with growing focus on AI safety â€” led me to build SecAIQ, a free, jargon-free resource and toolset to help everyday people and businesses stay safe online and use AI responsibly.

Ask me anything: what does SecAIQ Watch read on your Mac, and what does it never touch?

A monitoring app has to earn trust, so here is the short version.

It reads: running AI-tool processes and their start-up flags, config and settings files of AI tools, which servers they connect to, and usage logs the tools write themselves. Everything is stored on your Mac.

Which risky AI-tool settings would you want flagged first?

SecAIQ Watch checks AI tools for risky settings, for example auto-approve modes, over-broad file access, unknown MCP servers and API keys left in config files. It shows the finding, never a copy of the secret.

If you had to pick, which of these worries you most? And is there a risk I'm not checking yet?

Which AI tools should SecAIQ Watch recognize next?

SecAIQ Watch for Mac already recognizes the common AI coding tools, agents, MCP servers and IDE extensions. New ones appear every month, so the list is never finished.

Which tool do you use that you would want it to recognize? Tell me the name and what you'd want to see about it (its permissions, the servers it talks to, its config files).
