Introducing SEAL ISAC: Enhancing Collaboration and Security in the Crypto Industry

The Security Alliance (SEAL) has taken a significant step towards enhancing security within the cryptocurrency industry with the launch of SEAL ISAC, a free threat-sharing platform. SEAL ISAC aims to foster collaboration and bolster security by providing valuable security intelligence and connecting experts within the crypto-cybersecurity community.

Since its establishment in 2023, the SEAL team, comprised of white-hat hackers, has successfully recovered over $50 million in stolen assets. The launch of SEAL ISAC marks the next phase of their efforts to secure the crypto space and combat cyber threats.

SEAL ISAC offers a range of features, including threat intelligence sharing, analysis, and alerts, as well as incident coordination and response protocols. The platform is built on the open-source Open CTI platform and is accessible to both centralized and decentralized entities within the global cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Notable participants in SEAL ISAC include members from Chainalysis, the Ethereum Foundation, Filecoin Foundation, MetaMask, Polygon, Scroll, and Uniswap Labs, among others. The platform also integrates with other SEAL initiatives, such as the SEAL 911 crypto security incident response channel, which provides real-time assistance during ongoing hacks.

Samczsun, the head of security at Paradigm and a key figure in the SEAL organization, emphasized the need for a centralized repository for threat intelligence within the crypto space. He highlighted the importance of a platform like SEAL ISAC in recovering funds, tracking down threat actors, and identifying future victims.

The launch of SEAL ISAC comes on the heels of the establishment of SEAL Org in February 2024, which introduced the Security Alliance and its mission to address crypto cybersecurity threats. With the success of SEAL 911 and the recovery of millions in stolen assets, SEAL is making significant strides in securing the crypto industry.

Despite the prevalence of crypto-related hacks in recent years, the industry remains optimistic about the future. The decline in hack losses throughout 2023 suggests a positive trend for crypto markets, offering hope for increased security and stability in the industry.
