Hello guys, I m Amirol. I d like to share why I built LiteSOC.
My career started as a System Administrator 18 years ago, then I moved into Software Engineering. Later, I continued my studies with a Master s in Cybersecurity at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. I also hold the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certifications.
Along the way, I often took on side projects building web apps for clients. Because of that, to maintain relationship with clients, monitoring logs became something I had to deal with regularly. To make the story short, here are the main reasons why I built LiteSOC:
Hello guys, I’m Amirol. I’d like to share why I built LiteSOC.

I’m lazy to manually check server logs all the time.
Traditional logs usually only show the IP address and which page was accessed.
There are no built-in alert notifications. You can set them up, but it requires configuring many tools on the server like Grafana and others.
Logs are just logs, they don’t provide useful forensic insights, like how many failed login attempts happened within a minute.
Yes, all of this can be achieved with third-party software.
But the price? Ask yourself.
That’s why I built LiteSOC.
LiteSOC is designed to make security monitoring simple for developers, startups, and small teams who don’t have the time or resources to manage a full SIEM setup.
With LiteSOC, you can:
Monitor your application logs in real time
Get instant alerts when suspicious activity happens
See useful security insights, not just raw logs
Detect things like brute-force attempts, abnormal requests, or unusual traffic patterns
My goal is simple: help people who face the same problems I faced, wanting better visibility and security, without spending thousands on enterprise security tools.
