Furthermore, The Brisbane-based platform is working round the clock in combating ICO scams, including shutting down 24 phishing sites.

Since a year ago, Entersoft has helped dispatch and secure ICOs worth $1 billion everywhere throughout the world, and all without a solitary hack or security break. In Gandhi’s words- “We have been able to successfully shut down these scams in all ICOs we have supported”.

This is an industry Australia should be chasing”.
