What does blockchain technology mean for cybersecurity? What are the current cyber threats and risks? What are the best strategies and solutions? What is the future of cybersecurity and how can I be part of it?

David spoke on the topic of how advanced blockchain architectures such as hashgraph will evolve with AI and the machine economy to transform how cybersecurity solutions are delivered in the future. He also spoke on the topic of software defined cybersecurity and how AI can advance the capability of edge computing nodes to become more self aware and have personalities defined by cyber profiling. Look for more to come from the National Cybersecurity Symposium in the future.
