Fuse has formed a partnership with Check Point Software Technologies to develop and implement a Blockchain firewall in real time which will provide the prevention of threats to the Fuse network.
This collaboration aims to take up emerging security challenges in the fast-growing blockchain sector, because cryptocurrency platforms recorded losses greater than $ 2.2 billion due to cyber attacks in 2024. These attacks have undergone confidence in blockchain technologies and affected the credibility and adoption of users of these platforms.
Fuse, which operates a layer 2 blockchain focused on evolving real crypto payments, described the deployment plans for a first prior safety layer developed in partnership with Check Point. This security solution is positioned as the first real-time firewall on a network scale for the blockchain sector by a large cybersecurity supplier.
The safety layer will use threat prevention mechanisms fueled by AI to protect intelligent contracts and portfolios, offering an identification and attenuation of malicious transactions in real time. Check Point uses threat engines that rely on more than three decades of global cyber-intelligence to underlie these capacities.
Fuse manager, Mark Smargon, commented on the partnership. “Prevention is always better than a remedy, in particular with cryptographic networks which serve as a skeleton for global payments. With a control point offering a dedicated safety layer, we are convinced that we can not only dissuade the pirates, which become more and more sophisticated, but pioneer a model of cybersecurity which will become the gold standard for the protection of web protocols.”
Check Point’s involvement brings its expertise in business quality security, aimed at resolving the risks that the safety efforts of current blockchain have not fully managed. The new firewall will operate on the entire fuse blockchain network, exceeding the typical protection provided by intelligent contract audits and extending to several components, including portfolios and decentralized applications (DAPP).
Dan Danay, 3.0 web security manager at Check Point Software Technologies, said: “We are proud to associate ourselves with Fuse and bring the prevention of Check Point threats to Web3.
Fuse believes that this improved security approach will benefit users and developers, helping the wider adoption of B2B and B2C payment solutions based on blockchain. The company considers the prevention of threats to the network level in response to increasingly sophisticated tactics used by those who target the blockchain ecosystem.
The introduction of real -time threat detection is based on Fuse’s recent initiatives, including the launch of EMPER nodes. This program, with the support of organizations such as Collider Ventures, Tectona, Spark, Trgc and Blockchain Founders Fund, encouraged community engagement in the governance and validation of networks by allowing users to participate directly in operations.
The story of Check Point understands its development of network firewall technology during the web 2.0 era, and by extending these principles to web infrastructure 3.0, the company aims to approach what it describes as the “most critical barrier in the sector”. The partnership is also positioned to support Fuse’s ambition to become a leading network for stablecoin payments in the web3 sphere, emphasizing user protection through its ecosystem.
