Crypto Cybersecurity Services
Crypto exchange hacks are inevitable, but cyber resilience is not. Kroll’s extensive suite of cryptocurrency cybersecurity services is designed to build the resilience of crypto exchanges and meet the increasing cybersecurity demands of regulators and investors.
Building Cyber Resilience in Digital Assets
In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, with cyber threats proliferating, organizations in the sector need robust strategies to build resilience, safeguard digital assets and maintain investor trust.
Cryptocurrencies are the backbone to capital-rich transactions and funds which, if compromised, could provide lucrative income for attackers. Crypto applications are often developed with improper design and inherent security risks, and the decentralized nature of the sector means there is limited government oversight or auditability in comparison to traditional banking.
Whether you represent a crypto exchange, custodian, virtual asset service provider (VASP) or any organization involved in the cryptocurrency sector, Kroll is your strategic cyber and data resilience partner, going beyond compliance to provide real-world attack preparedness, forensic-grade incident response and asset tracing capabilities

Proactive Defense: Advanced Penetration Testing and Attack Simulation
