Web3Firewall Launches First SIEM Platform Specifically Designed for Cryptocurrency Security

Web3Firewall has emerged as a leading Security Information and Event Management platform purpose-built for Web3, positioning itself as the solution to fill the security foundation gap for the digital asset ecosystem. Founded by BitGo veterans Samer Fayssal and Matt Hardy, together with former Microsoft engineering leader Cody Nicewanner, the company brings enterprise-grade security principles to the decentralized finance space.

The importance of this development lies in addressing a critical vulnerability in the rapidly growing cryptocurrency industry. While traditional enterprise IT has relied on SIEM platforms as the central nervous system of cybersecurity for decades, Web3 has lacked equivalent protection. These traditional systems aggregate and correlate data from across infrastructure including firewalls, identity systems, applications, and networks to deliver real-time monitoring, threat detection, and automated response.

Web3Firewall adapts this proven approach to the realities of decentralized finance and blockchain infrastructure. By aggregating signals from risk, compliance, and KYC providers and combining them with proprietary intelligence engines and AI decisioning technology, the platform enables institutions to detect anomalies and enforce policies across chains and wallet infrastructure in real time. This unified approach addresses what CEO Samer Fayssal describes as the siloed nature of current Web3 security tools.

The platform's core capabilities include integration-first architecture that unifies external risk signals with Web3Firewall intelligence, pre-broadcast simulation and post-broadcast monitoring to detect anomalies before and after transactions, and cross-chain coverage for consistent enterprise-grade protection. The policy engine includes jurisdictional coverage, enabling compliance with regulatory frameworks across different regions, while advanced wallet management tools provide proactive asset control and enforcement.

For the broader cryptocurrency industry, the implications are significant. The platform supports an application layer where organizations can build advanced compliance and risk solutions, including proof of solvency features that integrate zero-knowledge proofs and fully homomorphic encryption with collateral protection mechanisms. This helps custodians and stablecoin issuers demonstrate reserve backing without compromising client privacy, addressing growing regulatory concerns about transparency in digital assets.

Web3Firewall is already trusted by regulated custodians in the US and internationally, indicating immediate industry adoption. The company's ISO compliance, partnerships with major cloud providers including Google and AWS, and role as an intelligence partner to CryptoISAC for the past eight months demonstrate its commitment to enterprise-grade security standards. As COO Matt Hardy noted, the founding team's decades of experience securing billions in institutional assets and scaling enterprise systems positions them uniquely to provide the security foundation that Web3 has been missing.

The platform's multi-tenant SIEM features are specifically designed for managed service providers, exchanges, and custodians, addressing the complex security needs of organizations handling significant digital assets.
