In this episode of the "Down the Security Rabbit Hole" podcast, co-hosts Rafal Los and Jim Tiller interview Philippe Humeau, the CEO of CrowdSec, about the evolution of their open-source cybersecurity solution. Philippe discusses how CrowdSec leverages a community-driven approach to gather and curate threat intelligence, providing real-time block lists and CTI data. The conversation covers CrowdSec's ability to detect and block threats faster than traditional CTI companies, the development of their web application firewall (WAF), and their new agentic product that integrates with LLMs to assist SOC analysts.
