Usage of Blockchain Technology for Improving Computer Security

Cyber threats have grown increasingly sophisticated, surpassing the capabilities of traditional security measures. Blockchain technology, with its decentralized and immutable structure, offers a potential solution to these challenges. This study examines the role of blockchain tools such as smart contracts, decentralized identity management, and secure data sharing in enhancing cybersecurity. A review of key literature and analysis of survey data from cybersecurity professionals demonstrate blockchain's effectiveness in improving data integrity, access control, and secure communications. The results show significant correlations between the adoption of blockchain technologies and the mitigation of threats like data breaches and unauthorized access. While blockchain presents promising advancements, scalability, regulatory barriers, and energy consumption remain challenges. The study provides valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on how blockchain can be integrated into modern cybersecurity strategies to create more secure digital environments.
