Circumvention Risk Analysis
Circumvention risk analysis is the evaluation of how users might attempt to bypass a protocol's compliance controls, such as geofencing or identity verification. It involves identifying the methods used for circumvention, such as the use of VPNs, stolen identities, or non-compliant secondary markets, and assessing the potential impact on the protocol.
This analysis is crucial for developing more resilient and effective compliance strategies. By understanding the techniques used by those who try to evade the rules, developers can build better defenses and more secure protocols.
It is a continuous process of testing and refinement that is essential for maintaining the integrity of a regulated financial system. It bridges the gap between technical security and regulatory reality.
