If one topic has been on the minds of CISOs and CIOs alike over the last three years of Covid and post-Covid hybrid enterprise work environments, it’s ransomware. A distributed tech workforce — using distributed software services — proved to be no match for highly automated ransomware bots and malware executing encryption attacks. But this year, like the end of War of the Worlds, the attacking bots may suddenly fall silent.

When working with digital assets or crypto, it can be difficult to know how many organizations and teams have access to your private keys at all times. In order to protect your customers and investors, it’s critical to develop a transaction and user policy layer. From compromised internal actors to simple fat fingers errors, the crypto industry is no stranger to both mistakes and targeted attacks leading to major losses.

We recommend that all organizations working with crypto, web3 or digital assets implement transaction policies. This is a great way to prevent loss of assets without sacrificing speed and efficiency from an operational perspective. If you’re interested in learning what a crypto transaction policy is and why it’s important, check out the basics here. If you’re ready to start implementing transaction policies at your organization, you’ve come to the right place.
