Fuse and Check Point Software Launches First Real-Time Blockchain Firewall
Layer 2 blockchain payments platform Fuse has partnered with Check Point Software to develop and deploy a real-time threat prevention security layer that protects its entire blockchain. The partnership will furnish Fuse with an advanced blockchain security layer that can identify and mitigate threats before they have had a chance to develop, moving blockchain defense from detection to real-time prevention. Working closely with Check Point, Fuse will foster a safer ecosystem for all users and developers, accelerating its goal of mainstreaming crypto payments for B2B and B2C applications. Check Point's technology is capable of preventing malicious transactions in real-time, leveraging advanced AI-powered threat engines that draw from more than 30 years of global cyber intelligence. The collaboration with Check Point extends beyond smart contract-level audits. With the imminent introduction of real-time threat detection, the integration will provide comprehensive protection across the entire network, reinforcing Fuse's commitment to safeguarding user funds and trust while establishing new benchmarks for blockchain security infrastructure. Fuse CEO Mark Smargon said: 'Prevention is always better than a cure, particularly with crypto networks that serve as the backbone for global payments. With Check Point providing a dedicated security layer, we're confident that we can not only deter hackers, who are becoming increasingly sophisticated, but pioneer a cybersecurity model that will become the gold standard for protecting web3 protocols.' 'We're proud to partner with Fuse and bring Check Point's real-time threat prevention to Web3. By applying our leading threat intelligence, we're setting a new standard for blockchain security—protecting users, wallets, and dApps.' says Dan Danay, Head of Web 3.0 Security at Check Point Software Technologies. 'Just as robust cybersecurity powered the rise of Web 2.0, real-time prevention will be key to Web3's mainstream adoption.' Fuse recently launched Ember Nodes with support from leading partners including Collider Ventures, Tectona, Spark, TRGC, and Blockchain Founders Fund. It attracted broad community support, giving users an opportunity to acquire nodes and participate in network governance and validation. Just as it pioneered network firewall technology for Web 2.0, Check Point is now supporting the evolution of Web 3.0 by tackling its most critical barrier—security. The Check Point partnership will support Fuse in its quest to become the preeminent web3 network for stablecoin payments. In the process, it will champion better blockchain security for all users across its ecosystem. 0 0
