Live from Paris Blockchain Week 2025, the floor was buzzing with innovation—but for Charles Dray, CEO of Resonance Security, one topic stood out above all: cybersecurity. Dray sat down with Blockchain Magazine to unpack the future of security in a decentralized, AI-driven world, and what it really takes to protect both people and protocols. An interview by Immanuel Rodulfo | BitcoinMagazine.nl
“Everyone talks about cybersecurity,” said Dray, “but not enough people actually prioritize it. That’s because it seems like additional work. But it doesn’t have to be that hard, we’re here to simplify it and make it a no-brainer.”

Making Security Accessible—for Founders and Celebrities
Resonance Security offers both consumer and enterprise-grade solutions for Web3 projects and VIP individuals. Whether it’s a startup looking for smart contract audits or a public figure concerned about phishing attacks, the team at Resonance has designed its platform to be intuitive, scalable, and hands-off.
“We’re essentially letting clients outsource their entire cybersecurity operation,” Dray explained. “So they can focus on growth, sleep better at night, and know we’re handling it behind the scenes.”
Resonance’s approach includes continuous testing, what Dray calls “offensive security”, alongside defense. For high-profile clients such as athletes or founders, that means simulating phishing attacks, running watch apps and phone alerts, and educating users on how to respond in real time. Everything is built to minimize user stress while maximizing coverage.
Eliminating the Web3 Blind Spot
One of the biggest gaps Dray sees in the crypto world? Over-indexing on smart contract audits while ignoring everything else.
“Web3 projects always start with a smart contract audit, but then leave their websites wide open. They’re so focused on getting listed or satisfying investors, they forget basic cybersecurity,” he said.
Resonance helps close that gap. Unlike many firms with long waitlists, the company has scaled to onboard Web3 projects immediately. Their tools are designed to be plug-and-play even for non-technical founders, helping teams start securing their stack from day one.
AI, Quantum, and the Edge of Innovation
Looking ahead, Resonance isn’t just reacting to threats, it’s anticipating them.
Dray described how his engineering team is integrating AI to reduce false positives and speed up code reviews. They’ve also developed an AI-powered browser extension that scans emails and websites for phishing indicators in real time.
But what really stands out is the firm’s work with quantum randomness. Using photonics-based random number generators, Resonance has created a quantum password generator that outputs highly entropic security passcodes.
“Entropy is everything in security,” Dray said. “We’re using quantum systems to generate truly random passcodes, foreign languages, special characters, everything, so they can’t be reverse engineered.”
Another standout innovation is their open-source MCP server, which helps guide developers, especially non-security engineers, toward safer coding practices as they build. It doesn’t replace audits, but it does bridge the knowledge gap early in the development process.
“We’re helping builders think like security engineers from the start,” said Dray. “That saves time later and strengthens the entire ecosystem.”
The Real Challenge: Awareness
Despite the cutting-edge tech, Dray believes the hardest part of cybersecurity isn’t building tools, it’s getting people to use them.
“We’re fortunate to have strong inbound interest and a great network. But the real challenge is awareness,” he said. “More people need to be talking about cybersecurity. We need that resonating action, no pun intended.”
As the industry matures and governments move closer to full crypto adoption, Dray’s team is preparing for scale. Resonance is already working with layer-1s and preparing for the next wave of projects.
“We’re not just here for the current threats, we’re building for the ones that haven’t hit yet.”
