Company mission

To make the Internet a safer place for everyone.

Our take

Crowdsec’s founders were working in high security hosting when one of their clients became under attack. The hacker used more than 3,000 IP addresses in order to attack the website and they realised that if they share these IPs around, the hacker’s operations would weaken.

Organizing a sort of Internet neighbourhood watch, French-founded Crowdsec is a cyber threat intelligence (CTI) solution. It is considered revolutionary in its field for the collaborative nature of its open-source solution that leverages its user base to detect attacks and create a database of malicious IP addresses for the rest of the community to block.

The company recently raised series A funding, which is being invested into developing its technical stack, accelerating revenues, and expanding its U.S operations. Whilst its community spans nearly 200 countries with users including governments, eCommerce actors, and media and financial institutions, it has ambitious plans to see further uptake of its service.
