Fraudsters are constantly looking for innovative ways to evade these platforms’ security systems to access digital cash, which is what Entersoft is helping to avoid. Furthermore, The Brisbane-based platform is working round the clock in combating ICO scams, including shutting down 24 phishing sites.

Founded by Mohan Gandhi and Paul Kang, Entersoft began offering ICO security services just last year.

These cyber security specialists, some of whom have military backgrounds, utilize their combined 40 years experience to test and enhance the online security of its clients.

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”.

Gandhi also talked about how Australia can possibly be one of the best destinations for ICOs saying “Despite the recent volatility in digital currencies, there is still huge global interest in ICOs with some many hundreds of these fund-raises expected across the globe over the next six months. This is an industry Australia should be chasing”.

For such a moderately youthful business, Entersoft has effectively made a significant name for itself. January saw the company being voted as the 2017 FinTech Startup of the Year at the Financial Technology Awards in Hong Kong.
