One of the biggest challenges in security today is organizations' reluctance to share attack information. Perhaps legal teams are worried about liability, or maybe execs are just embarrassed about security failures. Whatever the reason, this trend makes it difficult for organizations to help each other. CrowdSec's mission is to make this process automated, anonymized, and seamless for security teams.

We talk to Phillip Humeau, one of CrowdSec's founders, about what it's like to build a such an unconventional cybersecurity business - one based around crowdsourcing and open source software.
