Blockchain Security Made Simple
In this webinar, Urmila Nagvekar and Gustavo Nieves Arreaza discuss two documents from the Blockchain/DLT Working Group on Corda Enterprise 4.8 Permissioned Network. Urmila will discuss the contents of the architecture security report with an overview of how a Corda 4.8 permissioned blockchain network was used to depict a simple transaction within a trade finance workflow. Then Gustavo will review the accompanying controls checklist that resulted from the report. Experts have identified crypto-asset exchanges as a major pain point of crypto security.
Bitcoin worth $72 million was robbed from one of the largest crypto exchanges named Bitfinex due to stolen keys.

Remember how every blockchain user is granted a unique identifier — kind of like an ID badge — to enter a blockchain network? When in the wrong hands, a cybercriminal can attempt to alter information in a blockchain under a permissioned users’ key. And the degree to which blockchain security can be compromised differs depending on the type of blockchain technology you’re dealing with. Finally, blockchain technology is also decentralized, meaning there’s not one single entry point to blockchains, making it difficult for cybercriminals to access blockchain data.
We are trusted by 85+ blockchain companies and established corporations with security audits and services. It’s a scalable solution designed to meet the unique security needs of blockchain solutions. By decentralizing Domain Name System entries, blockchain technology can help prevent Distributed Denial of Service attacks.
Most experts consider bitcoin’s framework as the first applied blockchain technology. From nothing, the value of one bitcoin has exploded to more than $20,000. Other cryptocurrencies like ethereum and litecoin have seen significant growth in the wake of bitcoin’s miraculous evolution.
Computing power is quite crucial for gaining majority control over the Hashrate of a blockchain through malicious entities. Therefore, compromised blockchains could result in the reversal of transactions alongside double-spending. In 2018, three renowned cryptocurrency platforms experienced issues from 51% attacks. Furthermore, enterprises lost around $20 million dollar annually in recent times due to 51% attacks.
Blockchain for digital IDs.Microsoft is experimenting with blockchain technology to help people control their digital identities, while also giving users Mining control over who accesses that data. This is because any kind of digital asset or transaction can be inserted in blockchain, from any industry. The new technology is considered a reliable cybersecurity protocol due to its capabilities of indicating any foul play and providing certainty in the integrity of transactions. Blockchain technology is a distributed and decentralised ledger system that can record transactions between multiple computers.
From robo-sprinklers to bluetooth-enabled bike locks to smart kitchen appliances, everything is wirelessly connected. According to Accenture, 86% of defense companies plan to integrate blockchain in the protocols within the next three years, especially in cybersecurity. Colorado reportedly experiences six to eight million attempted attacks each day, giving the state every reason to implement blockchain’s encryption methods to protect its most vital networks. Blockchain could be the badly-needed solution to a problem that puts patients and hospitals at severe risk.
