The digital revolution brought a lot of benefits to our lives. Digital electronic devices, such as computers and mobile phones, have completely revolutionized the way we store data and how we use it. Moreover, the internet and blockchain technologies, as well as cryptocurrencies, in particular, initiate new innovations in our society daily. However, close on the heels of the these positive impacts is a new social menace called "cybercrime".
Cybersecurity ThreatsData breach, phishing, and spoofing are different forms of cyber threats that have become commonplace in our digital world. In many incidents, people lost their personal records to criminals who use these sensitive data for selfish gain. In the latest trend, cryptocurrency exchanges are being hacked with unbelievable quantities of digital assets stolen.
Unfortunately, no IT company or cryptocurrency exchange seems immune to such cyber attacks. Yahoo, Facebook, and eBay have all come under syndicated cyber attacks at one time or the other. A whooping 3 billion user accounts were compromised on Yahoo at a time. Also, Coincheck, NiceHash, Mt. Gox, and Bitfinex have witnessed incredible crypto thefts in recent years. On Coincheck alone, over $530 million worth of NEM tokens were stolen in January, 2018.
In addition, available cybersecurity solutions are either extremely complex for mainstream adoption, or too expensive for the average business owner. There are also issues with the use of cyber intelligence data by Security firms for selfish exploits. As a consequence, the adoption of cybersecurity frameworks has been far from ideal.
So, how do we overcome these challenges?Can we have an appropriate solution that is effective, efficient, transparent, and user-centric?
This brings us to a new cybersecurity platform
Cloudbric: The Universal Web Security SolutionCloudbric is simply a decentralized cybersecurity platform created to provide adequate security solutions for users, be it public or private organizations. Unlike similar projects, Cloudbric will be a blockchain-enabled, open-source platform on which users have access to security data in real time.
According to the developers, Cloudbric will deploy cutting-edge AI for its special brand of Security-As-A-Service (SAAS) functionality
Cloudbric's Advantages to UsersFew of the advantages which users stand to gain from using Cloudbric include:
1 Efficiency- Within Cloudbric, there is a consolidation of multiple cyber security solutions into one package, thus, eliminating time wasted on selecting among different options. There'll be three main areas of cyber protection offered to users on Cloudbric.
End-point Security (mobile phones, PCs, IoT, etc)
Server-side Security (e.g websites)
Digital Currency Protection.
2 Experience- To start with, Cloudbric is not a new entrant to the cybersecurity ecosystem. It started in 2015 as a subsidiary of Penta Security Systems of South Korea, the leading web security firm in the APAC region). Its reverse ICO was launched this year with the aim of making users the core of decentralized security solutions.
The team behind the project has more than 30 years of combined industry experience in cyber security. Their outstanding achievements and qualifications, as seen from reviews, show that they know what they are doing. The company has also won a number of international awards which cannot be overlooked.
3 Transparency & User-friendliness
Cloudbric is a basically a blockchain-enabled platform. On it, cyber threat data will be continuously collated and provided to users in real time. On their own, users can access such security logs on Cloudbric Labs. The Deep Learning feature of the platform will continue to update this function regularly in a transparent manner.
Aside these, Cloudbric also seeks to reward its users through special reward schemes. Users can earn tangible Cloudbric tokens (CLB) for their security logs or for contributing to the Cloudbric Labs, as explained on the website. The rewards will be pasted on the public ledger for everybody to verify. The tokens can be uses to purchase security services or to acquire other exclusive offers from business partners known as Secure Web Alliance.
In essence, as an individual or a business owner, you can protect your cryptocurrency assets against crypto-centric hacks by downloading the Cloudbric Secure Web Gateway on your user device. The powerful app will protect your devices from all malicious crypto hijacking softwares.
Final ThoughtsFrom the foregoing, we can see that Cloudbric isn't just another cybersecurity project. For one, it relies on existing database of its award-winning parent company. Also, it embraces innovative methods of resolving cyber threats. Again, it encourages users to actively contribute to cyber security rather than relying on unscrupulous security vendors selling substandard products.
