7MS #469: Interview with Philippe Humeau of CrowdSec
Hey friends! Today we're talking with Philippe Humeau, CEO of CrowdSec, which is "an open-source massively multiplayer firewall able to analyze visitor behavior & provide an adapted response to all kinds of attacks. It also leverages the crowd power to generate a global IP reputation database to protect the user network." I came into this interview not knowing much at all about CrowdSec, so I peppered Philippe with questions such as: What is CrowdSec? What problem does it solve? Who are your competitors? You're open source...so how do you make $? What's your five-year plan? You're dealing with a lot of data and metrics...how are you handling data privacy laws and concerns such as GDPR? What if I fall in love with CrowdSec and want to contribute to making it better? It was a really fun, transparent and energetic interview - hope you enjoy it!
