At New Order, we take cybersecurity very seriously, both in general and specifically with respect to smart contract security. We believe that the next generation of DeFi is going to include a cybersecurity mindset as a core principle. Working with top-tier Cybersecurity Advisers, and proactively addressing security threats before they can become a problem is a core tenet of this mindset.
Therefore, New Order is pleased to announce that we’re partnering with Halborn who brings its award-winning, ethical hackers and blockchain specialists to protect our services and apps, and by working directly with protocol to protect from cyber attacks. Our incubated projects and ecosystem will benefit unimaginably from enhanced protection.
Halborn will work with New Order as a security resource to advise, direct, and help create a strategy and design that is secured, and built to reduce risk. We’ll work together to keep ecosystem projects safe from cyber attacks and find the most efficient way to protect the system, networks, software, data and information systems against any potential attacks. This will be accomplished through the implementation of vulnerability testing, threat analysis, and security checks, performing research on cyber security criteria, security systems, and validation procedures, manage meetings to fix specific internet safety problems, and calculate accurate cost estimations and categorize integration issues for project teams. By planning and designing healthy security architectures for any project we’ll provide security solutions using business standard analysis criteria & deliver technical reports and official papers relating to test findings and give professional supervision and guidance to project teams.
Halborn will assist in auditing, advising, and validating that all technology, people, and processes are either implemented securely, or planned with security best practices. In addition, by performing risk assessments we can calculate impact and likelihood of a security breach or incident. Using Halborn’s security advisory service; we will provide an end-to-end risk assessment on all facets of the system, and guide prioritization with recommended mitigating measures. Halborn will perform active hands-on penetration testing using deep security inspection technology to identify critical vulnerabilities before they are exploited by adversaries in the real world. The penetration test will simulate the activities and tactics typically performed by threat actors to ensure the projects reduce their exposure to security threat vectors. With respect to smart contract security, Halborn implements Smart Contract Code Analysis, which is a method of computer program debugging that is done by examining the code and logic of a smart contract statically and dynamically. The process provides an understanding of the code structure, and can help to ensure that the code adheres to quality standards, and is free of vulnerabilities. The principal advantage of smart contract analysis is the fact that it can reveal errors that do not manifest themselves until a disaster occurs weeks, months or years after release.
Together we can build the next generation of DeFi that is not only going to be seamlessly multi-chain, machine intelligent, but also more secure than previous generations.
