Cambridge Blockchain Group (CBG) is a UK-based SME in the blockchain security industry with a core project team of Dominic Wordsworth (Technical Lead), Tony Buck (Project Lead) and Dan Simons (Development Lead).The adoption of blockchain technology is experiencing a compound annual growth rate of 43%. Computer programs, known as smart contracts, provide blockchain's with essential functionality. Once deployed to a blockchain, smart contract code is immutable therefore security testing is a critical function of the development process.Smart contracts are vulnerable to cyber hacks (web3university.com 2022) . To audit contracts for risk, customers either use security scanning tools or hire third-party auditors to use those tools. Current tools have a very limited scope for finding and preventing risks. As a result 90% of the audit process is completed manually, leading to missed vulnerabilities and financial losses of £1.3bn globally in H1 2022, an 800% increase on the same period in 2021\. There is currently no effective alternative to human testing, which is unscalable, slow and costly.CBG's technology platform will combine integration, automation and orchestration techniques with machine learning to deliver smart contract security improvements of 80%. This will significantly reduce the effort and cost of delivering essential security assurance to blockchain projects, consumers and investors. This will be especially beneficial for disenfranchised members of the UK for whom the use of blockchain-based applications would disproportionately empower. CBG's platform will help insulate these individuals from a financial loss of over £213M per year in the UK alone .CBG's platform integrates commonly used security tools with a single test environment and uses automation, orchestration and machine learning to enable customers and auditors to leverage these tools from a centralised console, optimise their workflow and dramatically improve the efficacy and accuracy of security testing output.

剑桥区块链集团（CBG）是一家总部位于英国的区块链安全行业中小企业，其核心项目团队由Dominic Wordsworth（技术负责人），Tony Buck（项目负责人）和Dan Simons（开发负责人）组成。区块链技术的采用正在经历43%的复合年增长率。被称为智能合约的计算机程序为区块链提供了基本功能。一旦部署到区块链，智能合约代码是不可变的，因此安全测试是开发过程的关键功能。智能合约容易受到网络黑客攻击（web3university.com 2022）。为了审计合同的风险，客户要么使用安全扫描工具，要么聘请第三方审计员使用这些工具。目前的工具发现和预防风险的范围非常有限。因此，90%的审计过程是手动完成的，导致2022年上半年全球遗漏的漏洞和财务损失达到13亿英镑，比2021年同期增加了800%。目前还没有有效的替代方案来替代人工测试，人工测试具有不可扩展性，速度慢且成本高。CBG的技术平台将联合收割机集成，自动化和编排技术与机器学习相结合，以提供80%的智能合约安全性改进。这将大大减少为区块链项目、消费者和投资者提供基本安全保证的工作量和成本。这对英国被剥夺公民权的成员特别有利，对他们来说，使用基于区块链的应用程序将不成比例地赋予他们权力。CBG的平台将帮助这些人免受每年超过2.13亿英镑的财务损失。CBG的平台将常用的安全工具与单一测试环境集成，并使用自动化，编排和机器学习，使客户和审计人员能够从集中控制台利用这些工具，优化他们的工作流程，并显着提高安全测试输出的效率和准确性。
