Blockchain is a distributed ledger system that was once referred to as Bitcoin's underlying exchange technology, but has now widened its field and emerged as a mainstream technology that embraces other innovations such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, big data, and more.

Role of blockchain technology in critical
infrastructure security
Digitization has been the biggest boon for mankind, it has made the work faster, and
business operations more seamless, but at the same time, it has also increased the
probability of cyberattacks. The vulnerable platforms make it easy for hackers to
intervene in the system and cause a data breach. The growing use of digitization has led
to the shaping up of various malicious attacks like malware, ransomware, phishing
attacks, and data manipulation. Well, the impact of these malicious attacks is not limited
to just an attack on data, rather there has been some massive destruction like the one in
Ukraine in 2015 which led to the shutdown of the power grid. Hence, there is a need to
gauge through the use of the present platforms and make it infallible. Blockchain can
prove to be helpful here.

Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that was once known to be an underlying
technology for Bitcoin exchange, but it has now expanded its zone and emerged as the
mainstream technology supporting other technologies like artificial intelligence, machine
learning, data science, big data and more. Its expansion has its share in every business
vertical, from food to finance, human resource to marketing, every segment can reap the
benefit of Blockchain technology. Talking about technology, Blockchain works on peer-to-
peer interaction. Thus, it nullifies the need of having a third-party intervention, thereby
making this DLT platform more efficient.

How will Blockchain improve the security
infrastructure?
Network security and data confidentiality are the key concern for all. Since the
conventional platforms that we are using are prone to data attacks and threats, there is a
need for a system which is far more secure and safe. The best solution for this could be
Blockchain. The technology allows storage of data which is time-stamped. Encryption and
cryptography are the two key features of Blockchain technology that makes the data on
the DLT platform absolutely safe and secure. Moreover, every information stored on the
DLT is in the form of Blocks, and each block is attached in a particular sequence. Any
change or alteration in it will start reflecting in the system. Thus giving the user more
control over the data.

However, Blockchain has its own set of drawbacks, like the public blockchain is open to
all. It means that anyone can access the platform, so, to enhance the safety and security
of this platform, Blockchain developers created the permissioned Blockchain, which is
specially designed for enterprise users. Thus ensuring enhanced security and making the
system infallible. This way, Blockchain ensures a higher level of safety and security of the
system.
