Security Alliance (SEAL)
A crypto-wide security alliance for response, intelligence, and preparedness
The Security Alliance (SEAL), legally Open Security Alliance, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on ecosystem-wide security coordination. SEAL operates multiple initiatives: SEAL 911 for around-the-clock incident hotline support; SEAL Intel for real-time intelligence on phishing, wallet drainer, and state-sponsored campaigns; SEAL Frameworks for open, vendor-neutral security guidance; SEAL Certifications for crypto-native baseline controls with on-chain attestations; Wargames for live incident drills; Safe Harbor for pre-authorized whitehat interventions with legal backing; and lazarus.group for tracking DPRK-linked operatives and associated threat activity. Across these initiatives, SEAL reports 3,300+ incident tickets handled, 125+ war rooms coordinated, $50M+ assets rescued, and 300+ threat reports published.
Mission
To secure the crypto ecosystem by combining immediate incident response, shared threat intelligence, practical security standards, and legal/operational coordination that lets defenders and whitehats act quickly and responsibly.
Why This Matters
Security failures in crypto cascade across teams, users, and chains. SEAL reduces that blast radius by combining emergency operations with preventive infrastructure and shared intelligence. Their value is not just responding to incidents; it is creating a cross-organization coordination layer that individual teams cannot build alone, from hotline response and threat analysis to frameworks, simulations, and whitehat-safe intervention pathways.
