Why use Appwarden?
Could your web3 platform benefit from a faster incident response and security threat mitigation lifecycle?
During an active security breach, a few minutes can mean the difference between a recoverable situation and a catastrophic loss — for both a platform’s reputation and its users’ funds.
Appwarden answers this question by giving you the ability to disable all user interaction with your website, halting an in-progress security breach in its tracks, and protecting users while you safely resolve the issue.
/quarantine [un]lockAppwarden improves your security threat reaction time from minutes or even hours to seconds.
When your website is quarantined, users are redirected to a configurable lock page when visiting any route on your domain. This eliminates the risk of further damage while you safely triage the issue.
