FiveM CAD Security: Advanced Threat Detection & Community Protection

Explore CDE CAD's advanced security features including login tracking, IP blocking, user banning, threat detection analytics, and data export for FiveM servers.

Security Center Overview

The Security Center is a dedicated page within CDE CAD built specifically for monitoring and protecting your community. Unlike scattered security settings buried in different menus, the Security Center consolidates every security tool into one command hub. From here, administrators can track login attempts, manage blocked IPs, issue user bans, review suspicious activity flags, and analyze security trends across customizable time windows. Every action taken in the Security Center is logged, creating an unbroken chain of accountability. Whether you are running a 20-player community or a 200-player server, the Security Center scales with your needs and keeps you in control of who accesses your system and what they do once inside. If you run web tools of your own next to the CAD, such as an application form or a stats page, the OWASP Top Ten is the standard list of risks to check them against.

Login Attempt Tracking

Comprehensive login attempt tracking is the first line of defense in any security system. CDE CAD logs every single authentication event - successful or failed - and presents them in a paginated list supporting over 50 entries per page. This means you can scroll through weeks of login history without losing data or performance. Each log entry captures the username, IP address, timestamp, and result, giving you everything needed to spot anomalies and investigate incidents.

IP Blocking & Management

IP blocking is your most direct tool for stopping threats at the network level. When you identify a malicious IP through login tracking or suspicious activity alerts, you can block it immediately from the Security Center. Blocked IPs are denied access to the entire CAD system - they cannot log in, view pages, or interact with any API endpoints. The block takes effect instantly, cutting off the threat without delay.

User Banning System

When IP blocking is not enough - because a user switches IPs or the threat comes from an authenticated account - the user banning system provides account-level enforcement. Banning a user locks their account regardless of what IP they connect from. CDE CAD supports both temporary bans for corrective action and permanent bans for ongoing threats. Every ban is documented with a reason, creating a transparent record for appeals and consistent enforcement.

Threat Detection & Analytics

Raw security logs are useful, but patterns tell the real story. CDE CAD's threat detection engine calculates a threat score for suspicious activity based on multiple signals - failed login frequency, IP reputation, access time anomalies, and behavioral patterns. The analytics dashboard transforms this data into visual insights across three time windows. The activity feed surfaces the 50 most recent security events with priority flagging, ensuring critical alerts never get buried under routine entries.

Advanced Search & Filtering

When a security incident occurs, speed matters. CDE CAD's advanced search lets you cut through thousands of log entries to find exactly what you need in seconds. Whether investigating a specific user, tracing activity from a particular IP, or reviewing events from a defined time window, the search tools give you precision control. Combine multiple filters for complex queries, and use the user detail modal to drill into individual accounts without leaving the Security Center.

Data Export & Reporting

Security data is only as valuable as your ability to act on it outside the dashboard. CDE CAD supports full data export in both CSV and JSON formats, giving you flexibility to import security logs into spreadsheets, external analytics platforms, or archival systems. The export function covers login attempts, blocked IPs, banned users, and flagged activity.
