Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Why Security Is Everyone’s Job in Web3

It’s the case that the more we innovate, the more we expose our accounts, wallets, and exchanges to new risks: social engineering, bridge exploits, phishing schemes, insider threats, and countless other attacks that evolve just as fast as the systems we’re building.
At Linum Labs, we believe that security is a shared responsibility and it starts with us. It starts with awareness and grows through consistent practice, learning and unlearning. This month, with the help of our Devs, we’re zooming out to look at the habits, tools, and mindsets that make secure systems possible, with one daily tip.
At the heart of this conversation we’ll speak to:
- Everyday Crypto Users: Emphasing that the wallets, exchanges, and dApps we use daily hold real value. Simple habits like enabling 2FA, verifying tokens, and spotting phishing attempts go a long way in stopping threats before they start.
- Crypto Engineers & Builders: The code behind DeFi, infrastructure, and NFTs powers the ecosystem. Staying ahead with secure dependencies, audited smart contracts, and tested integrations helps keep the chain of trust unbroken.
- Security Leaders & Executives: For those guiding teams or protocols, that is cybersecurity a risk-mitigation strategy. From zero-trust frameworks to insider-threat prevention, leadership in this space means embedding security at every layer.
We’ll be covering a variety of topics such as:
- Account & wallet safety - for users and teams protecting digital assets.
- Software updates & dependency scanning - for developers and engineers managing updates, dependencies, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Smart Contract & DApp Security - for builders and founders scaling decentralized applications responsibly.
- Identity, Authentication & Access - for organizations designing better internal security policies and zero-trust models.
- Culture & Awareness - for every team member learning to spot scams, defend against phishing, and stay one step ahead of social engineering.
Each of these areas might seem small on its own but they build the foundation for safer, more resilient blockchain ecosystems.
It’s our understanding, from experience, that Cybersecurity is not just about stopping hackers, but about building trust, maintaining integrity, and protecting the people, communities, and ideas behind every protocol and project.
Follow along on our socials as we share bite-sized, actionable security tips every day. We hope these insights will remind you to keep your projects safe in this increasingly complex Web3 world.
At Linum Labs, we’re committed to embedding cybersecurity at every layer of what we build; from research and infrastructure to smart contract audits and community engagement. We’re making security a shared habit and welcome you to do the same.
