Herbert Yang, DFINITY GM of Asia, emphasized that "Security has always been one of DFINITY's top concerns as a decentralized internet computing platform. With 42 members at present, the Alliance stands as a united front committed to safeguarding the integrity and security of the blockchain industry". The Alliance extends an open invitation to other blockchain-related entities to join forces and collectively defend the security of the entire ecosystem.

As a founding member of the Blockchain Security Alliance, Beosin plays a pivotal role in fortifying the security of the ecosystem. Co-founded by esteemed professors from world-renowned universities and supported by a team of over 40 Ph.D. experts, Beosin leads the way as a leading global blockchain security company. The company's widespread presence includes offices in Singapore, South Korea, Japan, and over ten other countries, underscoring its commitment to securing the blockchain ecosystem on a global scale.

With its mission of "Secure the Blockchain Ecosystem," Beosin offers a comprehensive "All-in-one" blockchain security solution encompassing Smart Contract Audits, Risk Monitoring & Alerts, KYT/AML, and Crypto Tracing.

In further support of the ICP ecosystem, Beosin has recently conducted audits for two ICP projects, MID and Catalyze. These audits exemplify Beosin's commitment to the security and integrity of the ICP ecosystem, and its role in protecting DFINITY and other blockchain projects.

"We are delighted to have DFINITY join the Blockchain Security Alliance," said Tommy Deng, Managing Director at Beosin.

The alliance members have jointly produced multiple reports on blockchain ecosystem security, widely disseminated within the industry.

As co-organizers of the alliance, Beosin and SUSS NiFT warmly welcome DFINITY's participation and commit to furthering the alliance's work to contribute to the security development of the blockchain industry. The alliance aims to enhance the industry's security capabilities through security research, technical exchanges, and collaborations, providing strong support for the industry's long-term growth.
