New Era of Digital Assets Security | 2026 Experts Discussion
Following our 2025 Security Wrap-Up, we are bringing together a panel of security experts and industry leaders to discuss the evolution of Web3 security and the shift toward more robust, institutional-grade standards.
With $4 billion lost in 2025—driven largely by access control and social engineering—the industry has reached a critical turning point. This session explores the practical strategies experts use to harden infrastructure, manage sophisticated threats, and build the "verifiable security" required for the next wave of digital assets.
You’ll get expertise from our speakers:
▪️ Denys Ivanov – CEO & Co-Founder, Extractor by Hacken
▪️ Thomas Zraunig – CISO, 21X AG
▪️ Sean Spaniol – Head of Cybersecurity, Sui Foundation
▪️ Martin Quensel – Co‑founder, Centrifuge
Moderator: Igor Bershadskiy – Chief Growth Officer, Hacken
What we’ll cover:
▪️ Why audits didn’t stop the biggest losses—and what must change
▪️ Access control, multi-sig, and the human attack surface
▪️ Social engineering and AI-native threats (phishing, “contagious interviews,” unsafe code)
▪️ What “verifiable security” looks like for institutions—proof, monitoring, and controls
▪️ A practical 2026 playbook: continuous controls, incident readiness, and security evidence
This panel is designed for builders, security professionals, and industry participants who need to move beyond the "audit report" and implement the continuous security standards that will define 2026.
