Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical analysis about how Keeping sensitive data and vital infrastructure safe from evolving cyber threats is becoming a challenge for traditional cybersecurity methods. Blockchain technology is emerging as a promising solution to enhance cyber defense capabilities in response to this changing landscape. This study explores how blockchain technology can enhance cybersecurity measures, particularly in areas such as data integrity, authentication, and decentralized consensus processes. By providing an immutable and transparent ledger, blockchain offers an innovative way to protect digital assets and mitigate the risks of data tampering and unauthorized access. Moreover, decentralized applications and smart contracts built on blockchain platforms present new ways to automate security processes and enhance the strength of cybersecurity systems. This research offers an understanding of the potential benefits, challenges, and future prospects of integrating blockchain technology into cybersecurity strategies through a thorough examination of existing literature and case studies. Blockchain could revolutionize the defense against the ever-evolving threat landscape in the digital era by fostering increased trust, transparency, and resilience in digital environments.
