As the digital asset sector continues to grow, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has seen authorized institutions (AIs) increasingly interested in digital asset-related activities, in particular provision of custodial services for digital assets for clients and how to apply the distributed ledger technology (DLT) that underlies the Virtual Assets (VA) ecosystem to traditional financial market operations.Enterprise Key Management (EKM) is the backbone of robust data security strategies. In a digital landscape dominated by multi-cloud environments and stringent regulatory requirements, your organisation must manage cryptographic keys with precision. This includes generating, storing, distributing, rotating, and securely retiring keys to ensure only authorised users can access your data. With EKM, you control critical practices like key rotation, revocation, and auditing, helping you maintain security and compliance.
