Blockchain works via a multistep process, which in simple terms happens as follows: An authorized participant inputs a transaction, which must be authenticated by the technology. That action creates a block that represents that specific transaction or data. The block is sent to every computer node in the network.
Advantages of blockchain revolve around one of its main characteristics – Decentralization, ensuring a higher level of data integrity throughout multiple operations.
In recent years, there have been millions of cyber attacks on organizations. And one common element between all the organizations is that they used a centralized system. This means that a hacker can access a large amount of a company’s critical data in one place.
