Web3Firewall Launches First SIEM Platform Purpose-Built for Cryptocurrency Security
Web3Firewall has developed the first Security Information and Event Management platform specifically designed for Web3 and cryptocurrency ecosystems, addressing critical security gaps that have hampered institutional adoption of digital assets.
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 adapts traditional SIEM approaches to the realities of decentralized finance and blockchain infrastructure.
In traditional enterprise IT, SIEM platforms act as the central nervous system of cybersecurity, aggregating and correlating data from across infrastructure to deliver real-time monitoring, threat detection, and automated response. Web3Firewall brings this proven model to cryptocurrency security by aggregating signals from risk, compliance, and KYC providers and combining them with proprietary intelligence engines and AI decisioning technology. This enables institutions to detect anomalies and enforce policies across chains and wallet infrastructure in real time.
"Web3 has powerful risk and compliance tools, but they operate in silos," explained Samer Fayssal, Co-Founder and CEO of Web3Firewall. "Our SIEM platform unifies them with AI-driven decisioning and anomaly detection — giving institutions, protocols, and managed service providers a single source of truth for on-chain security, regardless of wallet infrastructure, chain, or jurisdiction."
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 provides jurisdictional coverage, enabling compliance with regulatory frameworks across different regions, while advanced wallet management tools offer proactive asset control and enforcement.
Web3Firewall also supports an application layer, allowing organizations to build advanced compliance and risk solutions on top of the SIEM foundation. One significant example is proof of solvency, where the platform integrates zero-knowledge proofs and fully homomorphic encryption with collateral protection mechanisms to help custodians and stablecoin issuers demonstrate reserve backing without compromising client privacy.
The company is already trusted by regulated custodians in the US and internationally, with ISO compliance and partnerships with major cloud providers. Web3Firewall has served as an intelligence partner to CryptoISAC for the past eight months, contributing threat data and insights to strengthen the broader digital asset security ecosystem.

"With decades of experience securing billions in institutional assets and scaling enterprise systems, our founding team is uniquely positioned to provide the security foundation that Web3 has been missing," said Matt Hardy, Co-Founder and COO of Web3Firewall. The platform's multi-tenant SIEM features are specifically designed for managed service providers, exchanges, and custodians, addressing one of the most significant barriers to institutional cryptocurrency adoption.
