Crowdsourcing Cybersecurity: How CrowdSec’s Firewall Battles Malicious IPs with Philippe Humeau

Philippe is the Founder of CrowdSec, an open-source multiplayer firewall that analyzes visitor behavior and provides an adapted response to all kinds of attacks. It leverages crowdsourced power to generate a global IP reputation database that protects the user network.

As of today, CrowdSec boasts 250k+ user installations from 185+ countries and 50M+ malevolent IPs blocked. The CrowdSec community's users include governments, major e-commerce actors, media and financial institutions, armed forces, universities, hospitals, research centers, and others—the company raised $15M+ in series A funding just last year!
The company’s ingenious software is built on the idea of “safer together.” Not only does CrowdSec block individual user attacks, but it also identifies each malevolent IP address during an attack. It uses this information to protect everyone in the CrowdSec community from future attacks.
Philippe received an MBA in Computer Sciences from EPITA. He has created five start-up companies and is a seed investor in ten others. He is on the front line of major innovations in tech use and security, and he loves to share his wealth of knowledge in podcasts and public speaking events.

Philippe loves to discuss:

• The most significant issue facing cybersecurity is how open-source cybersecurity platforms combat them.
• Why multiplayer firewalls can help limit zero-day attacks and minimize cyberwar from attempting to “divide and conquer” businesses.
• Why does Philippe believe malevolent IP attacks are growing in size, and how can everyday users equip themselves to protect their data?
