Abu Dhabi, UAE – October 2, 2025: CPX Holding, a leading provider of cutting-edge cyber and physical security solutions and services, today announced the launch of its Crypto Defense Solution, an enterprise-grade cybersecurity offering designed to address the evolving risks facing the digital asset ecosystem. Purpose-built for exchanges, custodians and financial institutions, the solution delivers comprehensive protection across the crypto security lifecycle, from wallet architecture reviews to real-time blockchain transaction monitoring.
As the UAE cements its position as a global hub for cryptocurrency—propelled by forward-thinking regulations from the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) and ambitious national digital economy strategies—the imperative for robust security measures has become more critical than ever. Without adequate protection, vulnerabilities in the crypto ecosystem could pose significant risks to the financial sector and erode public trust.
“Digital asset transactions are accelerating not only in the UAE but across the globe, and security must keep pace,” said Hadi Anwar, CEO of CPX. “With our Crypto Defense Solution, we’re extending CPX’s trusted cybersecurity expertise into the blockchain era—empowering crypto platforms, digital asset custodians, and financial institutions to secure their operations, protect investor confidence, and drive growth in this rapidly evolving sector.”
The Crypto Defense Solution combines multiple layers of protection, including hot and cold wallet security assessments, smart contract and protocol reviews, 24/7 crypto-aware Security Operations Center (SOC) monitoring, blockchain threat intelligence and crypto-specific incident response. Leveraging CPX’s sovereign UAE-based SOC capabilities and partnerships with leading crypto forensics and blockchain intelligence providers, the end-to-end solution enables organizations to address critical gaps in the crypto security market. This includes detection of unauthorized cold-to-hot wallet transfers, defense against social engineering targeting wallet signers and quick response to breaches with forensic-level investigation and recovery.
A recent $1.5 billion breach exposed the high stakes of vulnerabilities in wallets, smart contracts, and social engineering and emphasized the need for specialized and critical protection. CPX’s Crypto Defense Solution helps to fill this gap, ensuring compliance, operational resilience, and the visibility traditional SOCs cannot provide for blockchain-based systems.
With a track record of securing enterprises, governments, and critical infrastructure sectors, CPX brings trusted, mission-critical protection into the digital asset ecosystem, while continuing its focus on transformative AI security that empowers organizations to assess risks, safeguard assets, and operate with confidence.
