Hacken and Forta team up to defend protocols. Forta's collaboration with Hacken integrates Forta's Attack Detector into Hacken's Extractor platform, significantly enhancing post-deployment security monitoring for Hacken users. This partnership allows for the detection of on-chain threats in real-time, utilizing Forta's machine learning models and heuristics for early warning signals. Specifically, the data provided by Forta has shown efficacy in detecting 75% of major on-chain hacks in the last months, with 42% identified before any exploitation occurred. This strategic alliance will provide protocols with actionable intelligence to preemptively address vulnerabilities and secure users’ digital assets against potential attacks.
