Cybercrime Costs German Firms $298 Billion, Urging Decentralized Solutions
Cybercrime caused losses of $298 billion for German companies in 2024, with 90% of businesses anticipating further damages. Sensitive data such as intellectual property and user credentials are primary targets.
While blockchain technology offers security at the protocol level, its enterprise application is still developing. Centralized systems often prioritize convenience over security, creating vulnerabilities. Challenges like scalability and speed hinder wider blockchain adoption.
Organizations like National Public Data (NPD) have faced significant breaches, raising concerns about centralized control over sensitive data. There is a growing need for secure data infrastructure that prioritizes user protection.
Governments, including Rhode Island, are beginning to adopt blockchain for business registration and land titling, though skepticism remains due to past crypto scandals.
