Interim & Ongoing Crypto Security

For Interim & Ongoing Uses of Blockchain/DLTs, Crypto & DeFi

Once enterprise clients commence blockchain and related technology interoperations, the degree to which they will require Interim & Ongoing (I&O) Crypto Security services will vary greatly depending on the quality of their onboarding crypto security, and the particulars of their enterprise operations.

Cryptosec provides Enterprise-Level Security Services including advice, monitoring, interim management and periodic reporting, to ensure enterprise clients’ I&O Crypto Security coverage remains active and satisfies CryptoSec’s security standards.

Cryptosec will work with enterprise leaders to accurately assess their special I&O Crypto Security needs, to ensure their enterprise can achieve Enterprise-Grade Security Coverage intelligently and commercially. Cryptosec is able to advise clients from time to time as required, or in cases requiring greater hands-on guidance, Cryptosec can outsource I&O Management experts to work within client organisations for a period of time or to manage particular projects or cases to solve critical, time-sensitive business challenges.

In our experience, enterprise I&O Crypto Security needs can generally be reduced to three key categories: I&O Crypto Risk Management Efficiencies, Compliance & Reporting, and I&O Crypto Threat & Risk Management.

(1) Reviewing the compliance requirements with enterprise governance rules, duties, policies, and procedures (2) Reviewing compliance requirements with the legal and regulatory rules governing your operations from a cryptosecurity standpoint, including financial and banking regulations, consumer credit regulations, privacy and data protection, securities regulations, AML/CFT, Anti-Slavery, Anti-Corruption (3) Reviewing relevant external governance DAO and DeFi Protocols, smart contracts, and then compared with enterprise rules and the regulation rules to identify gaps and security-corporate risks (4) Apprising Cryptosec’s Global Standards for completeness

AML/CTF Compliance & Reporting

Every year money laundering channels around $2 trillion worth of proceeds from various illicit activities. Less than 1% of global illicit financial flows are currently seized by authorities. The same characteristics that make crypto assets attractive as an alternative financial system, could also make them attractive to money laundering, illicit trade, and the financing of criminal organizations and international terrorism.

Cryptosec works with enterprise clients to review and improve existing operations (where required), and to achieve exemplary AML/CTF compliance and reporting, consistent with FinCEN guidelines also, in their enterprise uses of crypto assets, cross-border remittance and payment processing and tracing practices.

Crypto Threat & Risk Management

Since the pandemic began, the FBI’s IC3 and Google have reported a 300% increase in reported cybercrimes, while remote work has increased the average cost of a data breach by $137,000. Damage related to cybercrime is projected to hit $10.5 trillion annually by 2025.

There’s no denying that cyberthreats are on the rise. And that doesn’t even account for all the new threats that lie beyond the horizon in crypto security.

New Crypto Security threats include Public Network Attacks (like Identity Revealing Attacks, Eclipse Attacks, DdoS Attacks on Connectivity/Local Resource, Routing Attacks, DNS Attacks), Cryptojacking, Finney Attacks, Vector76 Attacks, and Crypto-Specific, Social Engineering, to name a few.
