Understanding Web3 Application Security – Sandy Carielli, Martha Bennett – ASW #218
The Web3 ecosystem is chock full of applications and projects that have lost money (and their customers’ money) due to breaches, code flaws, or outright fraud. How can security teams do a better job of protecting Web3 apps? Web3 applications (including NFTs) aren’t just vulnerable to attack, they often present a broader attack surface (due to the distributed nature of blockchains) at the same time as being a desirable target because of the value association with tokens. Join us for a lively discussion about key threats to Web3 apps – both on-chain and off-chain - what we can do to mitigate them…and what we absolutely should not do.
