Definition

Security best practices are recommended guidelines and procedures considered optimal for safeguarding systems and data. In the digital asset domain, these practices include using strong, unique passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication, employing hardware wallets for key storage, and regularly auditing smart contract code. For institutions, it extends to implementing robust access controls, conducting penetration testing, and adhering to compliance frameworks. Adopting these measures significantly reduces the likelihood of successful cyberattacks and unauthorized access to digital assets.
