How does it work in practice? There are multiple risk platforms offering coverage against smart contract failures for hundreds of protocols, exchanges and wallets. Nexus Mutual is currently the best known, with TVL around $1B. New players are slowly building up traction in the market like Bright Union and Bridge Mutual. Bright Union, DeFi coverage aggregator, has developed a way for protocols to offer their users coverage from their own app with an SDK. The cost of coverage can even be deducted from the APY so no out of pocket costs for users creating a seamless customer journey. A protocol proactively offering users coverage is Alpaca Finance. The app connects the users directly to these risk coverage platforms, where they are then able to buy coverage. Similarly Don-key finance, a social platform for yield farming, is soon offering a fully covered strategy for users to invest in, with coverage just a click away. About The Author Kiril Ivanov is the Founder and Technical Lead at Bright Union. He is one of the Bright Union founders, has 20 years of development experience comprising 15 years in finance, 10 years in the insurance space and the last five in blockchain and decentralized finance. Before starting Bright Union, Kiril provided blockchain powered solutions for innovative digital insurance. He’s been highly interested in the growing DeFi space for years, where decentralized networks transform old financial products into trustless and transparent protocols that run without intermediaries.

Protecting Critical Infrastructure Against Cyberattacks Understanding how attackers get in is the critical first step to mounting an effective defense. By Sean Deuby | Director of Services, Semperis Cyberattacks in any industry cause multiple forms of damage. But attacks on public infrastructure—such as transportation systems and public utilities—can cause wholesale disruptions in daily life or threaten public safety. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and its subsidiary Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), administer the National Infrastructure Protection Plan to protect all sectors of “critical infrastructure” of fundamental concern for vulnerability and resiliency. See https://www.cisa.gov/national-infrastructure-protection-plan . A few high-profile attacks, such as the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack in May 2021, brought cyberattacks to the forefront for people on the U.S. East Coast who experienced gas shortages and higher prices. Following the attack, Colonial Pipeline proactively took some systems offline—including 8,850 kilometers of gas pipelines—to address the threat. The increase in attacks on public infrastructure signals that for some cybercriminals, the gloves are now off. For some, the goal of a ransomware attack isn’t solely to make money but rather to simply wreak havoc, disrupt services, and incite panic. Any sense of morality that might have been ascribed to threat actors in the past seems to have disappeared in the last couple of years. Another case that proves this point is the attack on a water treatment facility in the small U.S. town of Oldsmar, Florida, in April 2021. During the time that the breach went undetected, the threat actors were able to manipulate the system to increase the amount of sodium hydroxide in the water supply.
