| | MAY - 2021ENTERPRISE SECURITY6The pandemic has created an enormous challenge for businesses worldwide: to continue operating despite massive shutdowns. The information technology on which they have long relied­their data centers, cloud systems, departmental servers, and digital devices--have become more vital. Overnight, the demands placed on digital infrastructures have skyrocketed.Such technology also becomes a much bigger and more lucrative target for cybercriminals. Recently, cybersecurity statistics revealed a huge increase in hacked and breached data from sources that are increasingly common in the workplace, like mobile and IoT devices.Although the attackers have intensified and sophisticated their planning and actions, the ways to combat them are also improving very fast. We have a nearly impenetrable technology, blockchain, which is widely used to protect our data from cyber-attacks and improve cybersecurity across enterprises. From an enterprise security standpoint, blockchain and its public ledger are seen as a potential solution for big data processing, endpoint protection software, finance tools, and supply chain management software. Decentralization adds a level of transparency to transactions and improves historical record-keeping for large networks.Blockchains could potentially help improve cyber defense as the platform can secure, prevent fraudulent activities through consensus mechanisms, and reroute around data tampering based on its underlying characteristics of immutability, transparency, auditability, data encryption & operational resilience. Clearly, blockchain is emerging as a very viable technology and a strong alternative to Cloud and Server-based companies for protecting businesses and other entities from cyberattacks. This edition aims to provide readers insights from industry leaders to help them have a detailed understanding of the blockchain landscape and its recent developments in the field of enterprises.
