BLOCKCHAIN WORKSHOP

Title of the workshop: You Too Brutus (Vibhishana):

With the merging of the physical and digital world, trust is a rare luxury to have. Dating back to days of Ramayana where Vibhishana revealed the secrets of Ravana, till the Roman Empire. Julius Caesar died telling You too Brutus, exemplifies that trust determines the solidarity of a system. In the present digital age, where “if it’s not digital then it does not exist” era the security of the system is of paramount importance. This workshop intends to cover the basic principle of Zero Trust Architecture/Networks and explore how it can be achieved to keep our data and services secure. The session will cover blockchain as a technology and its significance in the data privacy aspect of the Zero Trust Network. It will then share details on how blockchain works out in the industry with a few use cases. The audience will benefit by learning the fundamental principles of DLT (Distributed ledger), CA (Consensus  Algorithm) and ZTN (Zero Trust Network) with industry perspectives

 Also all participants will get lunch
