The text discusses the use of crowdsourcing and automation to enhance application security by verifying user logins through time-based identity checks and user confirmations. It highlights the effectiveness of crowdsourcing for detecting frequent but low-fidelity alerts, such as logins from suspicious IP addresses or unusual locations, termed as 'Impossible Travel.' The process involves using Datadog and Tines to automate the detection of suspicious logins, prompting users via Slack to confirm their activity, and taking appropriate action based on their response. This approach not only stops potential attackers early in their tracks but also optimizes resource allocation and enhances security posture by integrating human responses into automated workflows, thereby increasing situational awareness and improving organizational defenses.
