Hello friends, thanks for being part of my mission to deepen mainstream blockchain adoption. Today, I intend to analyse a new cryptocurrency platform and provide clear insights as to its use cases in the cybersecurity ecosystem. Before we proceed to its practical applications, however, let's examine what the project is all about.
What is Cloudbric ?
Cloudbric, and its Universal Security Platform, is a complete suite of custom-made cybersecurity solutions which utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning to eliminate cyber threats. The project seeks to make the business community a safe and transparent haven by providing open access to information security. Cloudbric seeks to leverage on the power of its deep learning module, VISION, to detect and combat attacks on end-point devices and protocols, such as mobile phones, PCs, websites, IoT devices, etc.
The most exciting thing about Cloudbric is its use cases within the global cyber-security industry. From effective elimination of cyber threats to the protection of cryptocurrency assets from theft, there are many ways in which this platform can disrupt the entire ecosystem.
Cloudbric's Novel Use Cases
Curbing Serverless Apps Vulnerabilities :Serverless applications, on end-point devices, are highly susceptible to incessant cyber attacks. As a business owner, for instance, your customer data will be at risk whenever users access your app off-server on their devices. Since you wont have control over the security precautions taken by a user, criminals may exploit vulnerabilities on his/her device to attack your business database and steal sensitive data.
Cloudbric promises to help businesses overcome this challenge by integrating both their serverless and server-side apps under a universal solution on a Secure Web Gateway. The platform will use its extensive resource database, as obtained from its existing business operation under the same name, together with an AI-based Deep Learning engine, to quickly detect and eliminate any form of cyber threat.
According to the developers, the Gateway client is a downloadable app available on mobile phones or PCs. It will automatically enable VPN tunneling which connects users to a global network of service nodes. These nodes will serve as proxies between users and the rest of the world. All traffic going through the end-point devices will flow directly through these monitored channels and they act to eliminate day-to-day cyber threats.
Securing Your Cryptocurrency Assets:The cryptocurrency boom is attracting its fair share of cyber criminals. In fact, crypto thefts have become regular features on news updates across the world. According to Carbon Black, a cybersecurity firm, over 1.1 billion USD worth of digital currency assets were stolen in the 1st half of 2018 and it's quite easy. Rick McElroy, a Security strategist at the same firm claimed that people were just using Cloud wallets, and not really securing their assets. In most cases, criminals hack into crypto wallets using malware and demand ransom in the form of cryptocurrency.
Cloudbric intends to pioneer highly secure crypto wallets (in 2019) using its Secure Web Gateway. The technology will safely store crypto assets and prevent all unauthorised transfer of assets to fake addresses.
Other additional security measures to be used include:
Fast Identity Online (FIDO) authentication method
End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) communication
The CLB token wallet on Cloudbric will be further protected using either password authentication or biometrics. These measures will combine to provide a full stack of impenetrable security wall for enterprise application.
The Cloudbric platform promises more exciting applications in the cybersecurity ecosystem. For more information about the platform and its reverse ICO, use the links below to either access their website or download the Whitepaper.
