Dublin, Oct. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The report “Growth Opportunities for Blockchain in Cyberwarfare and National Security” has been added ResearchAndMarkets.com’s Offering.

The increasing frequency of attacks on national assets and the sophistication of cyber threats threaten a nation’s ability to defend against cyber warfare strategies. The expanding use of deep-fake AI against dominant political figures, social media hijacking of persons of national interest, unauthorized defense network penetration, and ransom demands threatening complete network disruption have forced government administrators to expand their defense horizons.

Despite the ever-increasing threat landscape and their incredibly high-risk profile, public sector organizations remain far behind where they should be in terms of cyber maturity and digital resilience strategies, requiring an urgent push to strengthen their cyber defenses and manage their cyber risk profiles.

Cyber attacks on critical assets will increase, and blockchain will be at the heart of successfully fending them off. Blockchain adoption will enable administrators to gain better visibility of procedures at various nodes in the government value chain. The technology will be extremely beneficial for segments such as handling digital identities, regulating international financial settlements and securing defense procurement and weapons systems. Also, future battlefields will use computerized and IoT-based communication platforms. Blockchain will be an important component in encryption and securing battlefield strategies.

Blockchain will play a central role in helping administrators gain better visibility and develop strong data management policies. These guidelines will help administrators with the transition towards a digital economy, address various administrative challenges with regard to urbanization (smart city infrastructure), and regulate the defense procurement supply chain.

Widespread use of IoT-driven communication across various services generates a huge amount of data, which is vulnerable to cyber attacks. Smart city solutions, such as smart grids, digital healthcare and intelligent traffic solutions, deploy many IoT devices and sensors that require permissioned blockchain networks to protect city data. Blockchain technology will be central to securing critical infrastructure, such as smart grids, health records and mobility.
