This means that customers' holdings are stored 100% offline, and serves as a protection of private keys using an air-gapped Hardware Security Module (HSM). This means that funds can be transferred directly from a wallet, without the need for the internet.
In terms of signatory transactions for the wallet, an MPC feature disburses the key shares between up to 15 signatories, and user authentication is given an IP address whitelisting process.
Prosegur also offers physical security among its own armored storage facilities, with 24/7 surveillance and other features according to the client's needs. And of course, all facilities feature secure systems that are not open to DDOS or intrusive attacks.
Prosegur, which has been successfully securing clients since 1976, has now taken this specialist expertise, where it secures over $400 billion of assets under custody, into the delicate realm of cryptocurrencies.
