Security Incident Response
When your protocol is under active attack, every minute costs money. Our incident response team provides immediate exploit analysis, fund tracing, coordinated disclosure, and emergency security hardening, available to both existing clients and protocols in crisis.
Minutes Matter During an Exploit
The average time from exploit start to complete fund drain is under 20 minutes. By the time most teams realize they've been hit, the funds are already moving through mixers. Incident response isn't just about fixing the vulnerability. It's about minimizing damage in real time.
Effective incident response requires a team that can simultaneously analyze the exploit, trace fund movements, coordinate with exchanges and law enforcement, and deploy emergency patches, all under extreme time pressure.
Our Methodology
Our incident response team is structured for speed and parallel execution.
Immediate Triage
Assess the exploit in real time. Identify the attack vector, ongoing risk, and affected assets within the first hour.
Fund Tracing
Track stolen assets across chains, through mixers, and to exchange deposit addresses. Coordinate with exchanges for potential freezes.
Root Cause Analysis
Full technical breakdown of the exploit: how it happened, what was vulnerable, and whether additional attack surface remains.
Emergency Remediation
Deploy emergency patches, pause mechanisms, or parameter changes to prevent further exploitation.
Post-Incident Report
Comprehensive incident report with timeline, root cause, remediation steps, and recommendations for preventing recurrence.
