David Schwed - What We’re Getting Wrong About Crypto Security
In this episode, former Robinhood CISO and SVRN COO David Schwed breaks down the biggest blind spots in crypto security, stressing that prevention—especially physical and infrastructure safeguards—trumps reactive measures. He warns that enterprise‑grade setups often give a false sense of safety, highlights looming quantum‑computing threats to encryption, and cautions against over‑reliance on AI‑driven security tools that can introduce legal and data‑governance risks. Schwed also explores the trade‑offs between self‑custody and platform security, the maturity gap in privacy standards like zero‑knowledge proofs, and the need for clearer regulatory frameworks as the industry scales.
