Crypto winter is upon us, doesn’t that mean the Web3 space is dead? Not quite. While crypto-native companies furiously pushed code into production, traditional enterprises conducted experiments of their own, albeit at a more measured pace. These experiments continue today. With new technology comes new security challenges. The stakes are high, and you must get everything right the first time because there may not be a next time. One thing is for sure, there will be more hacks, more losses, and more negative impacts.
This talk is a grounded look at what enterprises are doing in the Web3 space and the security pitfalls that can manifest. We look at the similarities and differences between the development of this new technology and more traditional applications. We provide actionable guidance on how to avoid common issues and help organizations create more robust applications. With the right mixture of awareness and security, enterprises can be successful in navigating this new area.
