On this week’s Silicon Valley Insider (#SVIN), Keith Koo’s guest is Min Kim, Co-Founder of the ICON Foundation, a decentralized network of private and public blockchains.
Min discusses the latest developments with the ICON Foundation and ICONLOOP and some of their recent successes and use cases including:
Jeju Island off the coast of South Korea using ICON and ICONLOOP’s blockchain technology for private and secure COVID-19 contact tracing.
Shinhan, Korea’s second largest bank is using ICON / ICONLOOP’s blockchain-based decentralized identities (DID) for secure digital identities for KYC compliance.
How ICON and ICONLOOP are competing to become the replacement provider of South Korea’s national identity platform.

On this week’s Cyber-Tip, Keith reminds everyone about the need for vigilance from “Insider Threats” by sharing the recent case of two employees at.
