CrowdSec is an open-source security stack that detects aggressive behaviors and prevents them from accessing your systems. Its user-friendly design and ease of integration into your current security infrastructure offer a low technical entry barrier and a high-security gain. Once an unwanted behavior is detected, it is automatically blocked. The aggressive IP, scenario triggered and the timestamp is sent for curation, to avoid poisoning & false positives. If verified, this IP is then redistributed to all CrowdSec users running the same scenario. By sharing the threat they faced, all users are protecting each other. * * * Seller [CrowdSec](https://www.g2.com/sellers/crowdsec) Discussions [CrowdSec Community](https://www.g2.com/products/crowdsec/discuss) Languages Supported English, French Solution Type All-in-One Overview by Jean Devaux Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement \<1 month ### Return on Investment 7 months [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/crowdsec/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection Platform](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection Platform") CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection Platform 4.6/5(441) ](https://www.g2.com/products/crowdstrike-falcon-endpoint-protection-platform/reviews) [ ![Netgate pfSense](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Netgate pfSense") Netgate pfSense 4.7/5(326) ](https://www.g2.com/products/netgate-pfsense/reviews) [ ![Sophos Endpoint](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Sophos Endpoint") Sophos Endpoint 4.7/5(837) ](https://www.g2.com/products/sophos-endpoint/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/crowdsec/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 88 real user reviews.
