Cybersecurity has evolved into a complex, multi-dimensional game involving threat actors, governments, and organizations. The increasing sophistication of attacks, especially within fintech and crypto, underscores the importance of proactive security measures. Prevention, detection, response, and recovery are our philosophy at MoonPay, and prevention is our priority to protect users in advance. Besides, we enable users with the tools and knowledge to protect themselves on the net, with robust security while encouraging business innovation. To cultivate cybersecurity awareness, it’s essential to create a transparent framework where the reasoning behind security policies is clearly communicated. Whereas some of the security data needs to remain confidential, there should be an open communication and trust as a way to facilitate the acceptability of the policies. This approach not only improves the culture in the organization but also builds awareness.
