EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY IN CYBERSECURITY SOLUTIONS

Abstract

Blockchain technology, initially developed for cryptocurrency, has shown promise in revolutionizing cybersecurity solutions. This paper explores the potential of blockchain in enhancing security across digital platforms by providing a decentralized, transparent, and tamper-resistant framework for data exchange. Through its distributed ledger system, blockchain can address key cybersecurity challenges, such as data integrity, authentication, access control, and vulnerability management. The paper further evaluates its applications in areas like secure communication, identity management, and fraud detection. By reviewing various case studies and current research, this study presents the advantages, limitations, and future prospects of implementing blockchain in cybersecurity, ultimately suggesting a comprehensive approach to integrating this technology in modern security systems.
