Palo Alto Networks, a leading cybersecurity company, recently faced a security breach involving its advanced firewalls. Hackers exploited unknown weaknesses in the system, allowing them to bypass security checks, install harmful software, and mine cryptocurrencies, affecting more than 2,000 devices. This incident underscores the ongoing challenges in cybersecurity, including slow detection times and vulnerable systems.
Experts believe that blockchain technology could play a key role in making cybersecurity stronger. Blockchain uses secure public records to keep track of system activities in a clear and trustworthy way. For example, Certihash uses blockchain to create snapshots of network and file activities. If any unauthorized changes happen, the system quickly points out the problem and keeps a permanent record of all events. This could cut down the time it takes to detect breaches from the current average of 212 days to just seconds.
While blockchain won’t eliminate all cybersecurity threats, incorporating it into security systems could lead to faster reactions, better management of breaches, and greater transparency for organizations that are affected. As cyber threats evolve, using blockchain technology may become essential for improving digital security.
