GK8 is a blockchain cybersecurity company that offers financial institutions an end-to-end platform for managing blockchain-based assets on their own. We bring a radically new approach to securing digital assets.
The company developed the world’s first true air-gapped vault that enables its clients to create, sign, and send secure blockchain transactions with no internet connectivity, hence eliminating all potential cyber attack vectors.
The company was founded by Israeli cyber intelligence veterans who previously protected the nation’s strategic assets, and is backed by industry leaders, including IN Ventures, the venture arm of Japan’s Sumitomo Corporation, and Marius Nacht, co-founder and former Chairman of cybersecurity giant Checkpoint.
