AlertKick
Server Monitoring & Security for Small Teams·alertkick.com
AlertKick is a server monitoring and security platform built around a single agent that watches servers from the inside, detecting downtime, kernel-level intrusions, SSH logins, and failed backups. It uses eBPF to monitor kernel activity, maps security events to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and applies AI triage so only meaningful alerts reach the team. The platform also provides website and uptime monitoring, heartbeat monitoring for scheduled jobs, on-call rotations and escalation, and compliance evidence mapped to PCI DSS 4.0 and SOX controls.
