CrowdSec and CrowdStrike are both cybersecurity solutions that operate in real-time event monitoring mode, automatically respond to cyber incidents and use Threat Intelligence to improve attack detection efficiency. They support cloud infrastructure for data exchange and centralized management, integrate with other security systems (SIEM, SOAR, etc.) and enable flexible scaling — from small infrastructures to large corporate networks.
But CrowdSec (launched in 2020) is a French free open-source intrusion detection and prevention system (IDS/IPS). It uses crowdsourcing — threat data exchange — participants share lists of attacker IP addresses in real time. It allows to detect more than 50 types of attacks: DDoS, brute force, port scanning, SQL injections, bots, etc.
CrowdStrike (2011) is a paid American platform for advanced detection and response (XDR). It includes EDR, behavior analysis, automatic event correlation. CrowdStrike is also used in large companies to investigate large attacks. There is a SaaS version with tariffs based on the number of endpoints.
