AI and Blockchain-Enabled Architectures for Secure and Resilient Digital Systems

Abstract

The mushrooming digitalization of industries has heightened the need to have secure and resilient system design as well as smart system design that is prone to address intricate cyber threats and data breaches. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain have become the new influential technological innovations that could contribute greatly to the security, visibility, and reassurances of any digital ecosystem. AI can be used to provide smart threat detection and predictive analytics, intelligent decision-making, and blockchain can be employed to provide decentralization trust, immutability, and secure data sharing. The chapter discusses the prospects of AI and blockchain in the design of secure digital architectures and how the two can be used concurrently to enhance cybersecurity, keep data intact, and ensure operational resilience. It talks about architectural structures, practical implementation in industries, and ethical or regulatory implications as well as the future opportunities to create a solid and reliable digital systems in a more globalized world.
