DeFi protocols face an unprecedented level of risk due to the rise in sophisticated attacks. To mitigate this, it is essential for protocols to adopt a proactive approach to security.
The traditional approach to security has been rendered inadequate by the increasing use of AI-powered attacks. Protocols must now focus on implementing layered defenses, including prevention, mitigation, and halt mechanisms.
One key aspect of this new approach is the use of frontier AI to scan codebases and configs for vulnerabilities. This can help identify potential weaknesses before they are exploited.
