Blockchain Security Audit

Avanza’s Blockchain security program

Avanza’s industry leading suite of Blockchain Security Assessment, combined with our experience of the largest number of Production-grade Blockchain implementations across the region, ensures that your Blockchain application is go-to-market ready & secure from any vulnerabilities in the digital environment. We eliminate Blockchain security vulnerabilities and threats to the ecosystem by adopting the most rigorous and thorough cybersecurity techniques.

Enterprise Blockchain Solution Security Assessment (Private/Permissioned)

New private/permissioned blockchain consortiums are emerging and implementing technologies such as Hyperledger Fabric, CORDA, Quorum to ensure transparency, tamper proofing, security and trust. This brings a number of challenges in building and running decentralized applications including privacy of data, compromising of the network as well as risk due to smart contracts' technical or business failures.

Our Security Offering For Private &
Permissioned Blockchains

Our security team will conduct thorough assessment on potential threats & vulnerabilities in the network related to joining rogue nodes, sybil attacks, eclipse attacks, network implementation, endorsement policies risks, consensus algorithm malfunction & risks, key management practices, keys expiration & rotation, consortium members leaving the network or a member leaving the consortium compromising the overall network. In addition to this, we establish best practices for Blockchain Identity management and HSM key storage security compliance along with Configuration Management of blockchain configurations.

We conduct Smart contracts technical failures analysis, static smart contract review based on symbolic execution, dynamic testing, business condition failures, and analyze if there is any risk in the smart contract deployment process. We adopt the best industry practices for the compliance of Smart contracts to ensure smooth execution.

Ensuring Non disclosure of data to unauthorized network members based on the use case data privacy requirements, compliance to local and international regulations like GDPR.

Your application’s security is just as important as your smart contracts’ security. We perform Application security based assessment based on traditional web application and API based security identification and their touchpoints to the blockchain layer.

The heart of any blockchain business rules is the smart contract. It is necessary to ensure that the business process encoded in the smart contract has business conditions and exceptions catered and provided necessary recommendations if those cases are not handled.

We leverage our experience from 20 plus production grade Blockchain implementations together with Avanza’s technology expertise of Blockchain engineers to ensure your Hyperledger Fabric, Hyperledger Sawtooth lake, Enterprise Quorum, CORDA, Hyperledger Indy are secure from any threats & vulnerabilities.
