Crypto Exchange Security

Client-Side Security for Crypto Exchanges

Protect your exchange from client-side attacks and ensure regulatory compliance.

Crypto exchanges process massive volumes of transactions, often involving API keys, session tokens, and wallet credentials. This makes them a prime target for client-side attacks. Malicious third-party JavaScript can exfiltrate user credentials, inject rogue trading commands, or manipulate displayed balances, leading to financial fraud and data breaches.
