Digital Asset Risk for Traditional Finance: How Your Existing Controls Leave You Exposed
Your fraud team knows how to flag a stolen card. Your compliance team knows how to screen a wire. But once your institution moves assets onchain, the same risks resurface in forms those controls were never built to catch: address poisoning instead of card skimming, mixer-linked liquidity instead of a flagged wire, a compromised signer instead of a rogue employee. Your fiduciary duty to depositors doesn't pause when funds move onchain, and the right controls are how you keep meeting it.
One of the largest banks in the world recently hired Hypernative to train its risk, compliance, and security teams on exactly this. This session opens that thinking to a wider audience, no curriculum, no product walkthrough, just the framework itself.
What you will learn
How fraud and money movement risk changes shape onchain, and what your existing fraud controls miss
Why custody and operational control need a different model once transactions are final and irreversible
How counterparty and market risk shows up in smart contracts and liquidity pools instead of balance sheets
What incident response looks like when an exploit can be over before your SOC finishes triaging the alert
How this fits into the SOC and SIEM workflows you've already built, not a parallel system you have to stand up from scratch
If you can't make it live, we will share the recording to those registered that could not join.
