Blockchain: Technology for Joining Security and Visibility

Blockchain: Technology for Joining Security and Visibility

Blockchain, a technology that facilitates the process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a business network, is being used across government to both speed and secure the transmission of data and goods. At its core, blockchain is a database, but unlike traditional databases, it links all of the data it stores together which means that all of the data in a certain block will always be tied in the same order to the rest of the data showing a clear chain of custody or activity.
