Topic: Blockchain and Cloud Computing: Applications in FinTech
Abstract:
While centralized servers facilitate better data management, they can also lead to cyber risks such as data theft and a single point of failure. However, this security and accessibility issue can be resolved by incorporating blockchain technology into the cloud service. Blockchain can be used as a connector in this new proposed architecture because it is tamper proof, traceable, and enables data sharing. Combining the two can ensure that transaction data is securely stored in each node.
The combination of blockchain and cloud computing can go a long way toward resolving significant issues the fintech industry faces, such as preventing tax evasion and money laundering, reducing accounting flaws, and minimizing data storage costs. Find out how using blockchain and cloud computing can revolutionize fintech practices. The panel discussion and webinar offer in-depth insights and know-how from practitioners. Join the expert panel discussion to learn about the benefits of blockchain and cloud computing in the fintech industry.
Key Takeaways:
- The concepts, advantages, and disadvantages of blockchain and cloud computing
- The difference between internet infrastructure and cloud computing
- How blockchain and cloud computing help the fintech industry
