CrowdSec
Overview
The CrowdSec integration allows autobotAI to connect with your CrowdSec account to monitor and protect against security threats by leveraging its collaborative security engine. CrowdSec is an open-source cybersecurity tool designed to provide real-time threat detection and prevention by analyzing behavior and patterns across multiple sources. It helps detect and block malicious activity such as brute force attacks, scanning, and other types of cyber threats.
This integration allows you to monitor your infrastructure for security threats, share threat intelligence with the CrowdSec community, and take preventive measures against attacks. By completing this process, you will connect your CrowdSec account and its associated resources to the platform, enabling real-time threat intelligence for better security.
Prerequisites
Before starting, ensure you have:
- A CrowdSec account with access to the security data you want to monitor.
- A CrowdSec API token with the necessary permissions.
Instructions for retrieving your API token can be found in the Additional Information section.
