Case Study: Merkeleon achieves double-digit lead growth and boosted customer trust with Kaspersky Lab's Application Security Assessment

External security assessment drives upsurge in crypto exchange business development

Merkeleon, a fintech company founded in 2009 that builds marketplaces and cryptocurrency exchange platforms, faced growing cybersecurity risk as exchanges became prime targets for attackers. To guarantee that its multitier platform — including proprietary payment and crypto wallet modules — had no design flaws or exploitable vulnerabilities and to reassure customers, Merkeleon engaged Kaspersky Lab to run an external evaluation using the Kaspersky Application Security Assessment.

Kaspersky Lab carried out a white‑box application security assessment (including source‑code and architecture review), provided detailed remediation recommendations, and worked closely with Merkeleon during fixes; the collaboration evolved into a formal partnership with Merkeleon becoming a certified reseller of Kaspersky blockchain security solutions. The assessment strengthened the platform’s security posture, enabled a public announcement that lifted market trust, and delivered measurable business impact — Merkeleon reported a double‑digit increase in website leads and improved conversions.
