Crowd sourced intrusion prevention information to determine bad actors based on defined scenarios which will be blocked at your installation, and reported back to the community.  The more people reporting the same IPs, the worse the reputation of that IP, and the more likely it gets added to the global blocklist.  The scenarios can be from crowdsedc-provided ones, or ones that you define yourself.
