The workshop will focus on exploring the advancements, challenges, and practical applications of blockchain technology in the field of cybersecurity, with particular attention to its implementation across various economic sectors. The workshop aims to address critical issues such as the prevention of cyberattacks, protection of sensitive data, risk management, and regulatory compliance. Special emphasis will be placed on the use of blockchain to secure critical systems within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in the primary and secondary sectors, as well as to manage security risks in the tertiary sector, including tourism, communications, and transportation.
Participants will delve into real-world applications of blockchain, examining its potential to enhance resilience against cyber threats, secure supply chains, and protect Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The workshop will also highlight how blockchain can be tailored to meet the specific cybersecurity needs of resource-constrained SMEs, ensuring that solutions are both scalable and economically viable. Furthermore, the workshop will explore the challenges of integrating blockchain with existing infrastructures, the interoperability between different blockchain systems, and its role in meeting the increasingly stringent demands of data privacy and cybersecurity regulations. By fostering a multidisciplinary exchange of ideas and insights, the workshop aims to outline future research directions, identify innovative solutions, and encourage collaboration among researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers.
This workshop will serve as a platform to bridge the gap between cutting-edge blockchain research and its practical implementation in enhancing cybersecurity across diverse and critical sectors.
