8i Enterprises Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: JFKKU, JFK, JFKKW, JFKKR)
(“JFK” or the “Company”), a special purpose acquisition company,
today announced that Diginex, a digital asset financial services
and advisory company with which JFK entered into a definitive share
exchange agreement dated July 9, 2019, announced today that
Digivault, a secure digital asset custody provider and a Diginex
group company, launched Helios, a warm custody solution.
The Helios design meets the stringent standards
demanded by the world’s most secure systems. Helios delivers
logical protection against key duplication and/or theft, hardware
protection of networks and operates from multiple military-grade
secure locations run by a recognised third-party provider.
Helios seamlessly integrates with Digivault’s
cold storage solution Kelvin, launched last year. Kelvin offers
secure, digital asset deep cold storage infrastructure inside the
vaults of leading storage provider Malca-Amit. This cooperation
enables Digivault to store client assets next to gold and silver in
vaults that meet the highest grades of bank-entrusted vault
classification and to store client assets in select locations in
Europe and Asia.
Digivault’s mantra of “Secure by Design” is
underscored by its compliance with internationally recognised
standards and accreditations. This includes Cyber Essentials Plus
Certification, which is backed by the UK Government and supported
by the National Cyber Secretary Centre. Since 2016, the UK
Government has invested around £1.9 billion (US$2.48 billion) on
cyber security and dealt with thousands of significant incidents,
requiring cross-government and industry responses.
About Digivault
Digivault was founded in December 2018 in London
by a team of IT solution delivery experts from the finance and
security sectors to deliver enterprise grade cold, and warm,
digital asset custody solutions that would operate in harmony with
one another. As a Diginex Group company, Digivault is able to
support both internal and external clients with the same exacting
standards. For more information visit:
