Building an XDR-Style Security Bot in OpenClaw to Watch Your Logs 24/7

Generative AI Open Source AI

Security vendors will sell you an XDR platform that costs than your car and still misses the weird stuff because it was trained on someone else’s network. I got tired of paying for that. So I built my own, on an old NUC under my desk, for about $28 a month in electricity and cloud storage. OpenClaw as a 24/7 log watcher, anomaly scorer, correlator, and Telegram notifier. No cloud dependency. No per-seat license. No dashboard that requires a certification to understand. What OpenClaw Actually Is (and Why It Matters Here) OpenClaw is a self-hosted, open-source AI agent.
