Topic: Organizational use of Blockchain as distributed ledger technology and the security implications to be considered.

Blockchain technology is quickly moving beyond the realm of cryptocurrency, metaverse, and NFTs; but few organizations understand the implications of incorporating this technology into their environment.  Forbes Blockchain 50 2022 highlighted the use of distributed ledger technology to streamline backend processes and save billions annually.  Yet as firms look to embrace this technology and reap its benefits, many technology and cyber security teams lack the acumen to address the people, process, and technology changes needed.  This acumen gap will similarly extend to risk, privacy, and audit functions and potentially further slow the adoption process.  The path toward understanding, enabling, and adopting blockchain requires a frame of reference with respect to distributed ledger technology and an appreciation for the security implications.  Join Travis Hoyt, CTO of NetSPI to learn more about about:

• Distributed ledger deployment models
• Discuss existing public use cases
• People, process, and technology implications for control owners
• NetSPI’s perspective on testing blockchain implementations
