Beyond Private Key Security: Cosigners and Advanced Policy Engines - DeFi Security Summit 2025

Speaker: Ran Barth, Solution Engineer, Blockaid Private keys were meant to secure assets, but often do the opposite. Even multisig and MPC setups can leave signers blind to what they’re approving, leading to real breaches like the Bybit hack. This session examines how advanced policy engines and cosigners enable real-time validation and transparency in transaction security.
