    While Cisco Firepower 9300 Series is an enterprise-grade Firewall solution, it might be less suited for businesses with restricted IT budgets. Still, Cisco Firepower 9300 Series meet all cybersecurity and compliance requirements and is the best option available at this moment in my opinion.

    Since I've only used CrowdSec in a homelab/small-medium sized business setup, that's really the only market I can safely recommend it and say it's well suited for, because I don't know how much it would cost to run it in an enterprise environment. I've heard some pricing and how they plan on rolling out a subscription model, but it's still in talks. Either way, if you have publicly exposed web applications hosted locally or on a virtual private server, then CrowdSec should be part of every virtual machine and/or network. Even with the lmited number of filter you get out of the free subscription, it provides a nice layer of constantly updated data,

    CrowdSec
    • Provides great integrations with tools you already use, such as fail2ban, Cloudflare, WordPress, NGINX, Linux Firewalls, etc.
    • Lightweight agents can run on individual servers and report to a main security engine so that if there's an attack on one server and a block is implemented, the entire network can be protected
    • There are a lot of ways to receive alerts and store logs
    • CrowdSec Central API is a nice way to manage everything externally

    • Getting CrowdSec to run on OPNsense can be a challenge, but that's also a limitation of the OS
    • You can only subscribe to a couple of feeds before paying an unknown amount of money that's part of their "Enterprise" package. So, there could be better transparency.
