CertiK has been inducted into the Samsung Mobile Security Hall of Fame. Can it lead Web3.0 companies to break out of their niche?
As a global leader in Web3.0 security, CertiK has recently demonstrated strong capabilities in breaking into traditional technology sectors. Following recent public acknowledgments from companies such as Apple, Weibo, and Meituan, CertiK's Skyfall team and security expert Dawuge have both been selected for the "2023 Samsung Mobile Security Hall of Fame" announced today. Compared to more high-profile project innovations, deepening the Web3.0 security field requires persistent determination and endurance. This honor is a recognition of the CertiK team and the entire Web3.0 security field's continuous commitment to safeguarding cybersecurity.
The Samsung Blockchain Keystore is an important platform for private key management on Samsung devices. The CertiK team discovered seven vulnerabilities within this platform, four of which were confirmed by Samsung as critical vulnerabilities, while the other three were classified as high. If exploited, these vulnerabilities could lead to severe consequences such as arbitrary code execution (ACE) and unauthorized sensitive data leakage. Samsung highly values the findings of the CertiK team, and after the vulnerabilities were discovered, Samsung quickly deployed security patches and implemented important boundary checks and protective mechanisms to prevent potential risks. On the other hand, CertiK security expert Dawuge, who recently won third place in the Honor Security Reward Program, also ranked seventh in this Hall of Fame, showcasing CertiK's strong collective and individual professional capabilities.
As a stabilizing force in the South Korean technology sector, Samsung, with a history of 85 years, plays a crucial role in the development of technology and economic growth in South Korea. Samsung's emphasis on mobile blockchain technology and Web3.0 security is an important sign of the traditional technology industry's embrace of Web3.0 technology. By venturing into Web3.0, Samsung can not only solidify its position as a tech giant but also significantly promote the large-scale implementation of Web3.0 technology in South Korea.
In addition to Samsung, we have seen traditional tech companies like WeMade beginning to explore Web3.0 gaming. As the demand for Web3.0 technology in South Korea continues to grow, security will also become a highly focused area. Samsung's recognition of CertiK highlights CertiK's influence in the cybersecurity field in South Korea. With professional recognition and market influence, CertiK is expected to lead more cybersecurity innovations in South Korea, helping more Web3.0 companies break boundaries and seek breakthroughs in the traditional tech industry.
In fact, the recognition that the CertiK team has recently received goes far beyond this. Their security team has been deeply engaged in the cybersecurity field, from kernel vulnerabilities in iOS and iPadOS to the HamsterWheel vulnerability in the Sui network, CertiK's expertise and influence have repeatedly gained industry acknowledgment. As experts in Web3.0 security, CertiK's collaboration with traditional tech giants, including Samsung and Apple, holds significant importance in advancing cybersecurity. Such collaborations not only address many current security vulnerabilities from a professional perspective but also represent an important step in breaking Web3.0 out of its niche and establishing new security standards for the future alongside traditional giants.
