SINGAPORE, July 25, 2018 – CYFIRMA, the cybersecurity division of global Big Data analytics company Antuit, announces an industry-first Cyber Risk and Vulnerability Assessment solution for the rapidly growing emerging threats facing all cryptocurrency exchanges and blockchain companies. Powered by CYFIRMA’s proprietary machine learning and AI-enabled cyber intelligence analytics platform (CAP), this solution will comprehensively analyze risks and provide constant and real-time remediation actions relating to all the entry and interface points (web, mobile and backend platforms) of a cryptocurrency exchange or any blockchain company requiring distributed network integrity.
The number of cyber-attacks in this emerging multi-billion dollar sector has significantly increased in recent years following the global upsurge in cryptocurrency acceptance and adoption. Recent examples include:
“The security of cryptocurrency exchanges have not kept up with the growth and overall success of the exchange and value increase of the related cryptocurrencies,” says Kumar Ritesh, CYFIRMA Chairman & CEO. “Threat actors are targeting the entire blockchain value chain, including miners, stealing identities and wallet addresses, and even more alarmingly, hijacking legitimate network nodes and changing the universal ledger details potentially leading to a catastrophic collapse of an entire crypto-economy.”
Traditional penetration testing protocols have not been able to sufficiently help companies prevent the continuous onslaught of innovative and highly sophisticated threat actors. Knowing vulnerabilities alone is not enough to prepare a response to a likely and pending attack. CYFIRMA’s powerful analytics platform collects and integrates the latest exploit tools, attack mechanisms, and threat actor motives, into a bespoked and prioritized real-time threat and remediation analysis for the cryptocurrency exchange.
Solution highlights include cryptocurrency platform specific tests/scans; correlating test results with latest threat actor observations in the deep/dark web; attack scenario simulations; wallet integrity, bypassing login, traffic interception, user impersonation and ingress/egress testing; and attack replays, to name a few.
CYFIRMA defends against cyberattacks by supplying organizations with real-time threat intelligence that enables them to take a more proactive security approach. By aggregating, correlating and analyzing information from hundreds of thousands of sources on the open and dark web, CYFIRMA, helps companies anticipate what types of attacks are most likely to occur and provide the most effective response. CYFIRMA is a business division of Antuit, a global analytics firm.
