According to PANews, GoPlusSecurity is planning to build a modular unified user security layer, reigniting the vision for improved security in the crypto industry. The crypto industry has always been service-driven, often reacting to security issues after they occur. This reactive approach does not benefit security companies looking to enhance their position in the crypto ecosystem.
Security issues are typically addressed after an incident has occurred, a problem often referred to as 'security awareness'. This awareness is not something that can be improved with short-term appeals, but rather, it is destined to gradually transform into a state of alertness after repeated hacker attacks and phishing incidents. However, security incidents will not disappear but will decrease as the industry matures. Therefore, security as a service will always be needed, but it will always be a passive need.
Modularization has become a common development path in the crypto field, whether it's middleware networks, layer2, or independent DA modules, Execution modules, Settlement modules, or the anticipated Security layer modules. These are all gradually becoming key modules that make up the main elements of crypto. In the future, the consensus layer, settlement layer, execution layer, DA layer, etc., that originally made up the chain will be independently encapsulated in a modular way and embedded into various blockchain architecture systems with high interactivity. The security module layer will also become an additional capability that every chain must have or must be able to plug and assemble.
As the industry matures, pure B-end hacker attacks are becoming less frequent. This is directly related to the continuous security protection work of the entire industry's developers and the industry code progress driven by DeFi black cases. However, the decrease in B-end security incidents does not mean that the overall security disaster will disappear, and a large number of phishing attacks have become a new round of security disaster areas. Therefore, a security module layer that can provide users with 'unconscious' security protection must take on the mission.
In conclusion, security attacks and defenses will always be a difficult problem in the crypto field because it is too close to money, and there will always be hacker organizations lurking in the dark scanning for weak security environments to attack. In essence, hacker attacks and security defenses are cost confrontations. The goal of defense is to increase the cost of hacker attacks. Fragmented security services are like guerrilla warfare, while a consistent security chain ecosystem construction and a unified front defense of the modular security layer, in my view, are currently the best solution to improve the security level of crypto.
