CYBERSEC — API Status Dashboard - APICHECK

“Open-source visibility for every defender”

---

🔦 Why CYBERSEC built this

Modern infrastructures run on dozens of micro-services, third-party APIs and cloud endpoints.
When one of them silently fails, the blast-radius can be customer data loss, SLA breaches or full-blown outages.

CYBERSEC created this lightweight, self-hosted dashboard to:

• give SOC teams a single pane of glass for all external dependencies
• let developers catch breaking changes before they reach production
• offer small companies the same uptime visibility Fortune-500 teams enjoy — without a vendor bill

We believe defensive tooling should be public, auditable and community-driven.
Open-sourcing this project accelerates global security posture while keeping zero vendor lock-in.
