Rewind to summer of 2017. Equifax, a consumer credit reporting agency faced a massive cyber breach that jeopardized personal data of more than 143 million clients. The Stolen data involved sensitive, proprietary, or confidential information, such as credit card numbers, customer data, trade secrets or matters of national security.

If you take a look back at the cyber security that has been implemented in the system, it is not hard to understand that the issue does not lie with protection procedures of these companies but in the overall method in which these companies store, guard, and transmit data.
In order to overcome these issues, Peer Mountain has harnessed the blockchain technology by giving the users the ownership of their personal information, which will allow them to store it in a distributed ledger, thereby effectively diminishing the risk of identity theft.
Peer Mountain is the only blockchain-based decentralized ID protection, trust, and compliance ecosystem. The technology is created using blockchain and the business model is designed to reward trustworthiness. As a decentralized identity platform, the unique architecture and technology that backs Peer Mountain is guaranteed to provide consistency, stability, and trust.

PLATFORM AND TECHNOLOGY

The platform enables the delivery of real services, such as credit, loans, transactions, settlement, insurance or any other service, in any fiat or crypto currency. The individuals can own their intellectual property and monetize it. They have also built an easy-to- use platform with a simple user interface.
