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

Proactive Defense: Advanced Penetration Testing and Attack Simulation

Cryptocurrency exchanges are prime targets for cyberattacks, insider threats, application, API and network vulnerabilities. Standard security audits aren’t enough – real-world attack simulation is essential to strengthen exchange security posture, build regulatory confidence and maintain institutional investor trust.

Our Solution:

Full-stack penetration testing to identify exploitable weaknesses before hackers do
Red Team attack simulations tailored for exchange infrastructure, smart contracts and DeFi integrations
Social engineering resilience training to mitigate phishing, credential leaks and insider threats

Rapid Incident Response: Root Cause Analysis and Forensic Readiness

The speed and accuracy of incident response determine whether a cyber event leads to minor disruption or a full-scale regulatory crisis. Prevent operational downtime, reduce compliance exposure and control reputational risk with the largest global incident response provider.

Our Solution:

Real-time breach containment and forensic investigation - we identify the attack vector, impacted assets and response strategy
