Web3Firewall Launches First SIEM Platform Purpose-Built for Blockchain 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 adapts the proven SIEM approach used in traditional enterprise IT 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 established security model to the blockchain space 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.

Samer Fayssal, Co-Founder and CEO of Web3Firewall, explained the platform's significance: "Web3 has powerful risk and compliance tools, but they operate in silos. 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 an integration-first architecture that unifies external risk, compliance, and KYC signals with Web3Firewall intelligence. It provides pre-broadcast simulation and post-broadcast monitoring to detect anomalies before and after transactions, along with cross-chain and wallet infrastructure coverage for consistent, enterprise-grade protection across ecosystems. The policy engine includes 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 notable 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 platform includes multi-tenant SIEM features specifically designed for managed service providers, exchanges, and custodians. Web3Firewall is already trusted by regulated custodians in the US and internationally, demonstrating its practical application in the rapidly evolving digital asset space. The company maintains ISO compliance and has established partnerships with major cloud providers including Google and AWS through https://web3firewall.xyz.

Matt Hardy, Co-Founder and COO of Web3Firewall, emphasized the team's qualifications: "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." The company has also 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.

The emergence of Web3Firewall represents a significant advancement in blockchain security infrastructure, providing institutions with the tools needed to secure digital assets with the same rigor as traditional finance. As regulatory scrutiny increases and digital asset adoption grows, platforms like Web3Firewall will play a crucial role in building trust and security across the Web3 ecosystem, potentially accelerating institutional adoption of blockchain technology while protecting against emerging threats in the decentralized finance space.
