Security-critical operations

Decide now what an attack can reach.

For banks, payment providers, wealth and asset managers, insurers, corporate treasuries, family offices and private institutions: protect data, limit ransomware impact, and enforce policy on critical actions. Four problems a security team owns, and the control model AlphaPoint Cloud is designed around for each.

Four problems

The problem, the control, and the public case it echoes.

01

Treasury and payment fraud

Reduce unauthorized money movement.

Bind approvals to the exact beneficiary, amount, and currency on the Signing Display. Enforce payment limits and approval policies in Secure Core.

Bangladesh Bank, 2016: $81M stolen · US Department of Justice
02

Digital asset signing

Keep withdrawals tied to verified intent.

Review destination, asset, and amount on an independent display. Bind signatures to approved instructions and protect signing credentials.

Bybit, 2025: approximately $1.5B stolen · FBI IC3 PSA250226
03

Sensitive data and access

Reduce exposure of customer information.

Protect selected customer data and API keys inside Secure Core. Enforce least-privilege access, export approvals, and signed decision records.

Capital One, 2019: about 106M people affected · Capital One
04

Ransomware and continuity

Limit how far a compromise can spread.

Isolate critical data and decision logic from host systems. Control privileged changes and pair the deployment with tested backups and recovery.

ICBC Financial Services, 2023: treasury trade clearing disrupted · Bank of England

Four representative incidents selected for distinct control needs. Not a statistical top-four ranking or a claim that the proposed platform would have prevented the incidents.

The common path

One control model under all four.

RequestA person or application asks.
Check policyYour limits, allow-lists and quorums, enforced where the keys are.
ApproveNamed people sign the exact request; where the stakes warrant it, read on a separate display.
ExecuteWith a key that stays in hardware.
RecordSigned, exportable, verifiable without taking our word for it.

Built today on our own development installation: approvals bound to the request hash with hardware keys, the audit log and exportable records, hosts measured before they are trusted. Design: the Signing Display's path from the device to the platform, and the co-signer-in-Secure-Core pattern the walk-through narrates.

Interactive example

See one approval end to end.

An eight-step illustrative walk-through of a custody withdrawal: the problem, where the keys live, what your people see, a request you read and hold to approve or decline yourself, what follows, and how code changes are checked. Inert: nothing is sent or signed.

Illustrative design demonstration. Not connected to Fireblocks or live assets.

Go deeper

Three principles, each with its practice.

What you see is what you sign.

A signature is only as good as the signer's view of what is being signed. The signer sees the transaction's own signed record on their own device, and the signature covers that and nothing else.

What was written stays written.

Audit trails fail because the system that writes them can also edit them. Every change of state is a signed record in a hash-chained set the service verifies against its own state; an export verifies without trusting us.

Traffic from the protected side reaches only the destinations you authorized.

A firewall filters a path that exists. The protocol break removes the protected computer's ability to choose where anything goes, in both directions, and keeps the conversation.

Illustrative. The control model as designed; no customer deployment or outcome is represented. Incidents are public record with primary sources linked; none is a claim of prevention.
