Challenge
As Bluefin scaled from a startup to a major crypto exchange handling billions in transactions, their security needs evolved dramatically, requiring sophisticated protection against increasingly complex threats.
Key Needs
- Protect Growing Assets: Safeguard millions in user funds and company capital
- Prevent Oracle Manipulation: Defend against price manipulation attacks like those seen in other exchanges
- Manage Scaling Security: Maintain tight security control while expanding products and team
Solution
Guardrail partnered with Bluefin to develop comprehensive threat modelling and monitoring systems that could detect suspicious patterns and trigger protective measures before attacks succeed.

- Threat Modelling: Collaborated on scenario planning for specific attack vectors, including oracle manipulation attacks
- Preventative Monitoring: Designed monitoring systems to identify suspicious market movements and trading patterns
Solution
Zero Major Breaches

Proactive Risk Management

Intelligent Monitoring

Additional Impact

- Provided a cost-effective alternative to premium security solutions
