Uppsala Security Becomes First Blockchain Intelligence Company to Join Cyber Threat Alliance

Uppsala Security, a Singapore-based blockchain intelligence and crypto forensics company, announced today that it has joined
the Cyber Threat Alliance as an Affiliate Member, becoming the first blockchain intelligence company to join the alliance.

CTA is a nonprofit organization that brings cybersecurity organizations together to share actionable threat intelligence, improve situational awareness, and strengthen collective defenses against malicious actors.

Uppsala Security’s membership adds an on-chain perspective to CTA’s intelligence-sharing community at a time when cybercrime increasingly spans both traditional digital infrastructure and blockchain networks.

Many cyber incidents begin with phishing, ransomware, malware, compromised credentials, or unauthorized access. Stolen assets may then move through blockchain wallets, exchanges, bridges, mixers, and other digital asset services.

Although these activities may be part of the same incident, evidence from the initial compromise and the subsequent movement of assets is often analyzed by different teams using separate data sources. This separation can make it difficult to understand the full progression of an incident, from the initial attack to the movement
of stolen funds.

Through its participation in CTA, Uppsala Security plans to contribute relevant on-chain threat intelligence, including malicious wallet activity, suspicious transaction patterns, illicit fund movements, and other blockchain-based indicators.

When combined with traditional cyber threat indicators such as malicious infrastructure, malware artifacts, domains, and IP addresses, on-chain intelligence can help investigators and security teams develop a more complete understanding of an incident.

“Cybercrime does not stop when an attacker leaves a network. Stolen assets can continue moving on-chain,
and those movements may preserve important evidence about how an incident developed and where the proceeds
are going,” said Patrick Kim, Founder and CEO of Uppsala Security.

“Joining CTA gives us an opportunity to connect that on-chain perspective with the cyber threat intelligence
already shared by its members. By bringing these two areas together, we can help the wider cybersecurity
community understand incidents more completely and respond more effectively,” Patrick added.

In its official membership announcement, CTA said Uppsala Security brings a different type of threat intelligence
from that of a typical cybersecurity company. CTA also noted that combining different forms of intelligence and
insight can increase the value of the information shared among its members.

Uppsala Security will also draw on the experience of CTA members to better understand the infrastructure,
tactics, and indicators associated with cyber incidents before stolen assets move on-chain.

The membership is expected to support closer cooperation among cybersecurity companies, blockchain intelligence
providers, financial institutions, digital asset businesses, and law enforcement agencies responding to cyber
and financial crimes that operate across borders.

Uppsala Security plans to use its CTA membership to expand international information sharing, exchange
investigative experience with other members, and contribute to more coordinated responses to cybercrime
involving digital assets.
