# Getting Started

> Security Bot is a powerful Discord security and moderation bot that protects your server from nukes, raids, and unauthorized actions.

## Overview

Security Bot provides comprehensive protection through:

* **Anti-Nuke** - Limits dangerous actions like bans, kicks, and channel deletions
* **Anti-Raid** - Detects and prevents mass join attacks
* **Beast Mode** - Global score-based protection system
* **Verification** - CAPTCHA-based verification for new members
* **Moderation** - Safe moderation commands with built-in limits
* **Whitelist** - Exempt trusted users, roles, and channels

## Quick Start

### Step 1: Add the Bot

Invite Security Bot to your server:

[**securitybot.gg/invite**](https://securitybot.gg/invite)

### Step 2: Position the Role

After adding Security, move its role to the highest position (or above all moderator roles). This is required for the bot to function properly.
