Major banks are adopting public blockchains at an accelerating pace. Financial institutions are moving beyond pilot programs on private networks to live deployments on permissionless blockchains. Today, major financial institutions are issuing stablecoins and tokenizing real world assets (stocks, bonds, ect.) directly on public blockchains . Stablecoin transaction volumes now exceed the combined throughput of Visa and Mastercard, marking blockchain’s emergence as the new backbone of digital payments infrastructure.
Bringing enterprise security to Cardano mainnet
This massive growth comes with its set of security challenges. Institutions can’t interact safely with public blockchains, which have become increasingly adversarial environments. There’s a critical shortage of established, reputable security vendors who have the expertise it takes to protect financial institutions in this frontier. A multitude of security challenges and risks have posed a major barrier to institutional adoption of blockchain.
Check Point Software Technologies, the global leader protecting most Fortune 500 companies, unveils its deployment of the first enterprise-grade real-time threat detection with tailored detection engines for the Cardano network. This initiative, supported by Project Catalyst, brings robust threat intelligence to blockchain, enabling safer enterprise adoption of Cardano.
At Rare Evo, we’ll expand on our operational mainnet deployment, our real-time threat detection capabilities, and share progress on the onboarding of key Cardano stakeholders including wallet providers, dApp developers, and stablecoin issuers.
This positions Cardano as the first blockchain to offer enterprise-grade threat detection and monitoring standards, directly addressing the primary barrier to institutional adoption.
Quality of security
When it comes to security for blockchain, enterprises expect the same rigor or security that is applied to their core systems. Until now, no blockchain has met these standards.
Our deployment on Cardano changes this equation. We’re bringing world-class research capabilities and AI-powered threat detection engines that protect some of the world’s largest financial institutions. Our blockchain security platform is designed to adapt across different blockchain architectures, with specialized detection engines developed for Cardano’s unique requirements. Through Project Catalyst funding, Cardano enabled us to build the first comprehensive threat detection system for blockchain networks, establishing the blueprint for enterprise-grade security across the industry.
The system applies stateful inspection to understand complete transaction context and behavioral patterns, delivering superior detection quality with higher coverage and lower false positives. Unlike point solutions that protect individual wallets or traditional audits limited to pre-deployment, our approach monitors the entire network with comprehensive visibility that detects threats others miss entirely.
Real-Time threat detection
We monitor all blockchain transactions and identify threat indicators in real-time. This comprehensive monitoring approach provides the early warning that institutions need. AI-driven engines continue to learn and adapt by analyzing patterns across millions of transactions daily. Every identified threat pattern, every suspicious transaction, and every monitored interaction helps refine accuracy. This creates comprehensive threat intelligence that improves as the network grows and encounters new attack types.
Credible security
Check Point has spent decades protecting some of the world’s most critical financial infrastructure, earning the trust of major banks and Fortune 500 companies globally. This institutional credibility matters immensely in blockchain, where security failures make global headlines and can wipe out billions in value overnight. The blockchain space has struggled with a trust deficit, lacking established vendors with the institutional expertise and understanding of financial industry requirements that regulated institutions demand. When institutions evaluate Cardano now, they’re not just assessing an experimental technology—they’re seeing a blockchain monitored by enterprise-grade threat detection from a vendor they already know and trust.
Conclusion
The convergence of traditional finance and blockchain technology is accelerating rapidly. Stablecoin transaction volumes now exceed those of Visa and Mastercard combined. Major banks are issuing digital assets natively on public chains. With our deployment on the Cardano mainnet, we’re paving the way for Fortune 500 companies to enter the blockchain space confidently, potentially bringing tens of thousands of new users and millions of additional transactions annually to the ecosystem.
