Abstract

The thesis paper aims at evaluating the overall efficacy of block chain management in network security or cyber security of EHR (electronic health record system). In this context, the notions of blockchain and network security have been explained on an overall basis. Furthermore, the current challenges of cyber security have been addressed. The challenges include social engineering, ransom ware, distribution of DDos, cloud computing issues, enhanced use of artificial intelligence and crypto attacks. Apart from that, the implementation challenges of block chain have also been addressed under this proposal. The challenges include lack of “adoption”, the ever-increasing cost of implementation, scalability, privacy challenges and security challenges, the problem of excessive energy consumption, the lower availability of skilled workforce required for the facilitation of block chain management, tough integration techniques with the European legal system and interoperability. The relevant study states that block chain solution implementation is regarded as the newest cyber security approach, which can facilitate the notion of network protection to a brand-new level. It should also be mentioned that the empirical data collection method of secondary data will be used for the purpose of conducting the relevant research work. To state concisely, the research will be based on 10 peer reviewed journals and articles and results and analysis will be based on the collective opinion on the basis of secondary data analysis.
