  • Identifying infrastructure weaknesses that could compromise wallet integrity or service uptime

Halborn’s Solutions – Penetration Testing & Architecture Review

  • Assessed vulnerabilities in Kubernetes clusters, IAM policies, and data-at-rest protections

  • Delivered remediation guidance that was actionable by DevOps and wallet teams simultaneously

What Set Halborn Apart

Direct access to Halborn engineers meant the provider could remediate in real-time, reducing downtime and accelerating patch rollouts.

Results Achieved

  • Hardened custody infrastructure with stronger identity, networking, and signing protections

  • Validated the system for use by enterprise clients seeking secure B2B integrations

Going Above and Beyond

This engagement showcased Halborn’s ability to deliver precise, high-impact security services in dynamic, cloud-native environments. From Kubernetes orchestration to MPC wallet infrastructure, Halborn validated both infrastructure and application layers—ensuring the custody stack could withstand adversarial pressure while meeting the performance demands of B2B integrations.

But what set Halborn apart was their agility and embedded collaboration. The client was able to communicate directly with Halborn’s engineering team in real time, receiving rapid insights and immediate guidance during remediation. Halborn became an extension of the internal security team, not only identifying flaws but supporting their resolution in a way that was both fast and deeply informed.
