PegaSys Orchestrate

• From this post (18-2-2020):

"PegaSys Orchestrate is a platform that enables enterprises to easily build secure and reliable applications on the Ethereum blockchain. Orchestrate combines multiple business functionalities, from transaction management to advanced monitoring, into a single product, culminating the experience the PegaSys team has gathered building production-grade blockchain platforms with enterprises from diverse industries, including capital markets, supply chain, and trade finance."

In the same post it claims to solve four 'key security challenges for enterprizse blockchain solutions'.

One of which is private key management; "Orchestrate offers compatibility with secure storage systems such as Hashicorp Vault, in which private keys either live in memory when signing a transaction or are stored encrypted on disk, tremendously limiting the possibilities of a private key being compromised."
