BLOCKCHAIN IN CYBERSECURITY

Abstract

Cyber security is the practice of protecting systems and networks from digital attacks.  Block chain is the latest cyber security technology that is gaining popularity and recognition. Block chain provides security, anonymity, and data integrity without the need of a third party. Block chain is regarded as a new weapon in cyber security.  Cyber security is built into block chain technology because of its inherent nature of being a decentralized system based on principles of security, privacy, and trust. In today’s digital world, where cyber threats are a major concern, the use of block chain technology can provide a robust solution to enhance cyber security.  This paper provides an overview of block chain security.
