Interim CEO Security Alliance (SEAL) - securityalliance.org @_SEAL_org

Excited to step into the Interim CEO role at SEAL and continue working alongside our incredible team to advance our mission of securing the crypto ecosystem. Grateful for @samczsun leadership and the foundation he's built. Lots of work ahead!
It's been an incredible journey, but I've made the difficult decision to step back from day-to-day operations at @_SEAL_Org. I'll be transitioning onto the Board while @sbatt55 transitions from COO to Interim CEO

Excited to launch SEAL Labs, starting with a six-month collaboration with @blockthreat . Threats affecting one protocol can quickly become a problem for others. By expanding SEAL Intel's incident coverage, we can help security teams spot emerging threats and respond faster. More to come!
🔬 Introducing SEAL Labs, where we’re partnering with outside experts on time-boxed experiments, starting with a six-month collaboration with @blockthreat to expand SEAL Intel’s incident coverage across the ecosystem. radar.securityalliance.org/i…

Really cool to see Noon actually put themselves through the SEAL Certification Framework and publicly share the results. Love seeing teams use what we’re building 👏🦭
Noon's has always focused on security. Almost two years live, zero security incidents. That record comes from a rigorous focus on operational security, so we put our operational security through the SEAL Framework Checklist, designed by the team behind @SEAL_911 and here are the results 🧵

This isn't based on headlines. It's based on what our team has been seeing while helping protocols respond to real incidents. Hopefully it helps other teams avoid the same mistakes.
He’s not exaggerating. We broke down those five things, what they are, why they keep working, & what actually stops them. Our 2Q 2026 Threat Intel Summary is available here: radar.securityalliance.org/2…
