Introduction
Blockchain technology
enhances cybersecurity
by offering decentralized,
transparent, and
immutable data storage,
making it harder for
hackers to compromise
systems .
What is
Cybersecurity?
• Cybersecurity encompasses the
practices and technologies used
to protect computer systems,
networks, and data from
unauthorized access,
cyberattacks, and other
malicious activities.
• Cyber security's core function is
to protect the data of the
devices we all use (smartphones,

Importance of
Cybersecurity
• Protects Personal Data
• Prevents Financial Loss
• Safeguards Businesses
• Ensures Safe Online
Transactions
• Prevents Cybercrime and
Malware Attacks

What is
Blockchain?
Blockchain is a digital,
shared, and secure ledger
that records transactions
across many computers,
making it difficult to tamper
with, and ensuring
transparency and
immutability.
It forms the basis for
cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin
and has applications in
