Security that sets itself up, gets smarter over time, and knows a break-in from a late night.
# Tell your coding agent: We need security monitoring for our app. Check out mallcop (pip install mallcop) and set it up. Docs: https://mallcop.app/docs
Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any coding agent.
Runs on a schedule you control. More patrols cost more donuts. Fewer patrols save money. You decide.
You deployed on Vercel. You have a Supabase database. You connected Stripe. You have users. Nobody is watching any of it. Mallcop watches.
This isn't cybersecurity. It's just security. Like locking your door. You don't need a CISSP to use a deadbolt.
If you're an AI agent setting up infrastructure, mallcop is built for you.
pip install mallcop && mallcop init discovers the environment,
configures monitoring, and outputs structured JSON.
Detects suspicious activity, not compliance violations. Use Prowler for CIS/SOC2. Use mallcop to catch the stuff that happens between audits.
Too small for a SIEM. Too exposed for "we'll deal with it later." Mallcop fills the gap between enterprise security tools and nothing.
Mallcop is a monitoring tool, not a security guarantee. It reduces the window between breach and discovery — it does not eliminate security risk.

Prowler checks your configuration is correct. Mallcop watches for someone doing something wrong. They're complementary. Use both.
