Discussion
Our experts guided us through the promises and pitfalls of blockchain before they arrived at conclusions about technological integration, along with forward-thinking predictions about advances such as quantum computing. Let's begin with their thoughts on blockchain and the benefits and drawbacks of this technology as it pertains to cybersecurity. Later, I'll review how blockchain might work in concert with other technological advances such as AI, IoT, and automation to change the way we approach the way we adhere to our cyber hygiene.
Getting buy-in to blockchain
By design, blockchain is decentralized and that is its biggest promise. Typically, a bad actor has a single entry point, and with blockchain it is more difficult to wreak as much havoc since decentralization eliminates the single entry point. That means that a single hack won't be able to steal an entire repository of data. Still, even with these inherent advantages, we're still not sure...
