Boosting your Linux Server Security with CrowdSec

CrowdSec is a cutting-edge security solution for your Linux servers. As an intrusion prevention system, its goal is to stop unauthorized access and prevent attacks. But unlike other IPS solutions, it does it a different way - by using knowledge as power. CrowdSec was covered on this channel before, but in this video, you'll see an updated look complete with an overview of how to set up protection for Wordpress as well.
