Blockchain Technology for Cyber Defense, Cybersecurity, and Countermeasures: Techniques, Solutions, and Applications
暫譯: 區塊鏈技術在網路防禦、網路安全與對策中的應用：技術、解決方案與實踐

隨著IT基礎設施的快速增長和在網路空間的存在，安全漏洞的機會也隨之增加。網路安全是當今現代世界中最迫切的議題之一，而缺乏網路安全政策和網路策略可能使情況變得脆弱。如今，區塊鏈技術幾乎涵蓋了從商業到數據安全的每個領域。本書是為所有熱衷於區塊鏈技術的專業人士和網路專家而寫的。在全球各地的多個政府和科技巨頭的採用下，區塊鏈已經證明了其多功能性。任何匿名用戶都可以在網路世界中通過區塊鏈技術進行身份驗證和驗證，信任另一位匿名用戶。

區塊鏈治理提供了一種更分散的權威擴散方式，其中身份驗證的來源是個人本身。本書提供了通過區塊鏈技術進行網路安全和網路防禦的方法，以應對每秒鐘都在增加的網路攻擊和勒索病毒。本書可以被多位網路安全專業人士用於多種方式，以保護在線數據、個人和網路，作為網路安全、資訊安全和網路防禦倡議的一部分，並提供多種對策和防禦策略。每一章都提供了針對當今現代網路（以及零信任）世界中迫切和挑戰性問題的優秀工具和技術。
