Imagine a Ferarri losing Le Mans to a 40-year-old Pinto with a broken headlight and two flat tires. That pretty much describes the cybersecurity industry.
Every day, hackers spending just a few thousand dollars manage to thwart defenses that cost companies hundreds of millions of dollars. That's because these security systems only need to be beaten once out of thousands of tries to have their vulnerabilities exploited.
Crowdsec wants to even that playing field and fix this economic imbalance by using crowdsourcing and open-source software. Building what it calls a "massively multiplayer firewall," the company believes this collaborative approach represents a critical strategic shift for protecting digital assets.
What Comes After Trickle-Down Economics?
With his first joint address to Congress last week, President Biden did more than introduce a new spending plan to the nation; he also made an announcement. "My fellow Americans, trickle-down economics has never worked," he said, to cheers from his party. They were bold words, but Biden is hardly the first Democratic president to criticize the idea that tax cuts for the wealthy will gradually lead to prosperity for all.
Today's Democrats may be more amenable to trickle-down alternatives than their elders. A growing progressive faction in Congress exerts newfound influence, and even centrist Democrats like Biden are now eager to be seen as allies to labor and the worker — a position in tension with certain economic ideologies. But the wealthy also never lacked defenders among Democrats. The neoliberal can condemn Trumpism while offering up an economic vision far short of what the times require.

Implementing or threatening another territory with economic sanctions in order to achieve a nation's political end is an age-old tactic. In ancient and medieval Europe, trade blockades were put in place to obtain commercial privileges or to compel opponents to surrender. Today, with globalisation, territories are more connected and interdependent, and the mechanisms of economic coercion are evolving in these new circumstances.
Common coercive tools in trade include import tariffs, trade remedies and export prohibitions or restrictions affecting specific goods from a particular source or origin. Other methods include cutting foreign aid, freezing financial assets, removing banks from the SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) clearance system, rejecting regulatory approvals and the boycott of particular products.

The way they did it may be different, but the underlying rationale seems similar. Shay Bannon and Raj Dutt, the CEOs of Elastic and Grafana, respectively, used different wording when announcing the license change.
Elastic had previously filed a lawsuit against Amazon for trademark violation, and Amazon quickly responded to the license change by forking Elasticsearch -- and others did, too . Grafana, on the other hand, recently entered a partnership with Amazon -- a first for Amazon. Nevertheless, Dutt also referred to the need to protect Grafana.
