Halborn partners with Knova to support secure tokenized market infrastructure. 03.12.2026 Halborn is excited to announce its partnership with Knova. As the trusted cybersecurity partner for the Knova ecosystem, Halborn will support institutions operating across traditional financial systems and the digital asset ecosystem. Halborn is also proud to join Knova's Tokenized Markets Circle, a group of leaders shaping the next generation of tokenized financial markets. As banks, asset managers, and fintechs expand into stablecoins and tokenized assets, risk increasingly sits at the seams between systems. Integrations between banking platforms, custodians, wallets, and blockchain networks introduce new operational and security challenges. Knova addresses this challenge with software that runs directly within a client's environment or cloud infrastructure. The platform acts as a unified operating layer that allows institutions to represent, move, and manage fiat, securities, stablecoins, crypto, and tokenized assets through one consistent system. "As institutions expand into stablecoins and tokenized assets, security across interconnected systems becomes mission critical. We chose Halborn for their deep expertise securing digital asset infrastructure alongside traditional systems. Their work is highly value aligned with what we are doing at Knova, and the flexibility in how they work with institutions truly allows them to address real client needs," said Natalya Thakur, CEO of Knova. "We're thrilled to partner with Knova as their trusted cybersecurity partner. Knova is building critical infrastructure for institutions operating at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets. At Halborn, we bring deep, hands-on security expertise to help organizations scale tokenized market strategies with the confidence, resilience, and security required for institutional adoption," said Julie Aurand, Head of Strategic Partnerships and Business Development at Halborn. Together, Halborn and Knova aim to help institutions scale tokenized asset strategies with the security and operational resilience required for institutional adoption. Get in touch to find out more.

Decrypt’s Art, Fashion, and Entertainment Hub. Discover SCENEElon Musk’s claim that the DDoS attack on X (formerly Twitter) originated from Ukraine drew skepticism from cybersecurity experts, who argue that attributing attacks based on IP addresses is unreliable.Attackers frequently use virtual private networks (VPNs) and other methods to obfuscate their origins, making pinpointing a specific geographic source difficult.On Monday, X was the target of a distributed denial-of-service attack that intermittently shut down the popular social media site for users worldwide. The X DDoS attack was linked to Dark Storm Team, a notorious hackivist group known for launching similar large-scale cyber disruptions.Hours after the attack, Musk claimed during an interview with Fox Business that the IP addresses associated with the attack originated in the Ukraine area.Tech-savvy users on X quickly pointed out that IP addresses can be masked or spoofed, making them appear to originate from one region when they actually originate from another.Dear Elon:You can't attribute an attack to any geographic location by IP address alone.See: VPN, location spoofing, etc.Also See: How botnets are controlled remotelyAlso Also See: Ask a cybersecurity person to help you. — MikeTalonNYC (@MikeTalonNYC) March 10, 2025Cybersecurity professionals also cautioned against drawing conclusions based solely on IP address data.“If one were conducting a DDoS attack you wouldn't necessarily see each connection originating from an IP address from a specific nation or netblock,” Scott Renna, Senior Solutions Architect with blockchain security firm Halborn, told Decrypt. “By definition, the attack would have to come from multiple IP addresses.”Renna pointed out that attackers distribute their traffic across numerous locations to avoid detection and mitigation efforts.“From an optics perspective and a blocking and prevention standpoint, it's just not how it's typically done,” he said.While the origins of the X attack remain a mystery, DDoS-as-a-Service websites are popping up to facilitate the launch of large-scale attacks.
