Rebooting is a pain, and in some organizations, downright tedious. Shuffling virtual machines between hosts in a cluster is even more tedious, and when it’s time to install patches, that’s what many administrators are forced to do.

CrowdSec is a solution that aims to help protect your Linux servers, and its approach is quite different than other solutions.
