Literally, blockchain is making its way into every domain out there. Recently, US based cyber-security company Forcepoint acquires blockchain patent for a new system. This system will monitor and manage complex user behavior. Basing on the data the system will classify the user’s intention to be malicious or good on a security point of view. The report comes from the original patent filings published on US Patents website.

The patent document further reveals that the system will store the data of user behavior with respect to real time. Forcepoint is the subsidiary of US defense contractor Raytheon and Vista Equity Partners which is a private equity firm. Cyber security is an important aspect of high-end systems that stores billions of data. History has been a witness to some notorious data hacking. It’s a great move from the noted cyber security firm like Forcepoint to implement efficient technology like blockchain to ensure better security. Lately popular online payment system firm PayPal also filled a patent. This is reportedly about a system based on blockchain to protect data from ransomware.

We hope that soon other major security based firms also start experimenting with blockchain to tighten-up the security levels on vulnerable systems that hold confidential data.
