Pharos has officially stated that it has a number of high-profile security partners in anticipation of its upcoming mainnet launch. This move is an indication that institutional-grade security and operational resilience are central to Pharos, making it a finance prepared Layer 1, which can be used in RealFi applications. Through partnership with well-known international cloud providers and leading companies in Web3 security, Pharos will develop a complex security system at infrastructure, audit, and monitoring levels, as well as incident response.
Pharos is proud to announce key security partners ahead of the Mainnet launch!

The announcement follows Pharos gaining momentum as an inclusive financial Layer 1, which is aimed at bringing real-world value and institutional-grade assets to a greater number of people. The network has the support of major investors such as Hack VC and Faction VC to strengthen the trust before all the developers, institutions, and users can be onboarded on a massive scale.
Enterprise Cloud Security With Alibaba Cloud and AWS
On an infrastructural level, Pharos has collaborated with Alibaba Cloud and Amazon Web Services in offering cloud security at enterprise level. Both suppliers have a long history of supporting the mission-critical infrastructure in global organizations that have high availability and resilience of the Pharos network.
These collaborations have helped Pharos to enjoy the benefits of zero-trust networking models and multi-cloud distributed denial-of-service protection. Such a solution will reduce the threats on the infrastructure level, preserve the uptime and performance even at the times when the network activity is high. Pharos is investing in ground-level reliability by building security directly into its cloud base as it goes into mainnet.
Comprehensive Blockchain Audits by Industry Leaders
Another pillar of the Pharos security strategy is the security of smart contracts and protocols. The network hired a number of reputable Web3 security firms with ExVul, OpenZeppelin, and Zellic being the companies that were contracted to perform in-depth blockchain audits.
Such companies are characterized by strict evaluation procedures and success in acquiring multifaceted decentralized systems. Their participation will guarantee that Pharos is subjected to comprehensive code reviews, threat modeling and vulnerability testing on its protocol elements. This tiered audit method is aimed at minimizing systemic risk and enhancing confidence by developers and other players in the institution.
Penetration Testing Through Ant Skyward Security Lab
In an effort to further authenticate platform resilience, Pharos has collaborated with Ant Skyward Security Lab, which is headed by a security expert PDDonow, in an attempt to test it using advanced penetration testing. This testing will mimic the real-world attack, and it will be useful in identifying the possible vulnerabilities that are not likely to be detected by the usual audits.
In adversarial stress-testing systems, penetration testing is important. Through these assessments prior to the use of mainnet, Pharos will be actively tackling security risks and enhancing its defense stance as it moves to wider usage.
Real-Time Monitoring and Incident Response Capabilities
Pharos is also implementing continuous on-chain monitoring and intelligence systems so that any danger can be identified and reacted on within a short time. Hypernative Labs will offer real time monitoring so that the network can detect abnormal behavior and possible exploits in real time.
Simultaneously, Zeroshadow will embrace Web3 intelligence and spearhead incident response. This partnership will make sure that any security incidents can be probed and countered in a timely manner so that the impact will be minimal and that operational confidence is restored. A combination of these tools forms a receptive security environment, which will serve continuously when the network becomes operative.
