From its origin as a public ledger that keeps track of all cryptocurrency transactions to an electronic transaction-processing and recordkeeping system, blockchain today allows various participants to track information through a secure network, eliminating the need for any third-party verification.These characteristics make the technology a hot topic in the security landscape. Blockchain has the potential to improve multiple things in the security landscape--from verifying digital identities to enabling safer IoT devices--that will help prevent different threat vectors. Many believe that blockchain will place itself in the `CIA triad' of confidentiality, integrity and availability, offering improved resilience, encryption, auditing and transparency.The growing adoption across different industries is pushing the blockchain technology market to touch $7.74 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research. Enterprises and governments alike are making significant investments in the technology. However, one of the major factors hindering the growth of the global blockchain technology market is the lack of trust in the technology. Being in its nascent stage, blockchain technology and its vulnerabilities are yet to be explored. Also, a reason for concern is the scalability of blockchain when it comes to handling large volumes of enterprise data and the transparency--a problem blockchain soon needs to address. In this scenario, many solution providers in the market are working on the concept, leveraging blockchain to tailor innovative solutions for their clients.
