区块链如何改革网络安全及数码资产 随着智能手机的功能全面连接人们的生活起居，我们的生活已经离不开手机，并且透过社交软件如微信和WhatsApp等进行日常大部分的沟通，其中包括公事的沟通，以及互相传送公司文件。这点突显了商业机密讯息存有泄露的风险。另外，企业内部的网络安全防火墙，对于专业资深的骇客来说亦相当脆弱。 除了全球拥有超过20亿用户的WhatsApp被曝电话号码可能被网搜之外，不久前，社交媒体推特就被一名年仅17岁的美国少年攻陷，通过控制多个名人的推特账户，发布比特币诈骗信息赚取超过10万美元。当人们依靠和使用社交软件的时间越长，其风险相应越长。 全球网络隐私急待提升 根据Varonis调查，53%的美国企业向员工开放的敏感文件多达一千件，令人意外的是平均仅有5%文件夹受到保护。与此同时，全世界数据泄露的平均成本是390万美元，代价不菲。 种种状况显示，无论个人和企业数据的隐私安全都急待提升。网络进入我们的生活超过20年，期间多次改革，也发展出物联网(IoT)，虽然安全系统曾经历多次提升，但依然缺乏结构性的和本质上的改革，使得骇客仍旧有机可乘，而屡屡向防骇系统做出挑战。 区块链的崛起 如果您知道比特币的运作方式，便会基本了解加密货币的存在方式，区块链技术则是创造加密货币的核心技术，使这种近年大行其道的货币真正达到加密的特质。 区块链技术出现得正是时候，为网络安全带来一个解决方案，更是目前最严密可靠的方案，彻底改革了网络安全的防线，让用户不必担心个人隐私受到威胁，企业用户能够确保商业机密不被窃取。 区块链的主要特点在于去中心化，不通过第三方作为中介，并且以自身分布式节点进行网络数据的存储、验证和传递。 您可想象每个储存数据的终端都形成一个区块，而区块内的数据必须与所有其它区块相符，方为有效，否则不受认可，意味着数据的高度一致性和安全性。它是一串使用密码学方法相关联产生的数据块，每一个数据块中都包含一组数据，以便验证其有效性（防伪）和生成下一个区块。 此种环环相扣的锁链方式，具备牵一发而动全身的特点，因此无法被任何一方随意删除和篡改，杜绝了骇客的恶意攻击。 区块链推动网络前进 迄今为止，区块链技术已经在金融服务业取得了长足发展。InnoVentures发布报告指出到 2022年，区块链技术将在跨境支付、证券交易、监管合规等方面，帮助银行业每年节约150 亿至200亿美元的基础设施成本。 此外，区块链还有潜力成为一项广泛应用的突破性技术，像互联网那样改变社会和经济的运行方式。世界经济论坛预测，2027年全球GDP的10%可能存储于区块链平台上。 AVA携手未来的独角兽企业 作为金融科技界的先驱，AVA预见了区块链所能支援的网络安全技术，并拥有风行网络世界的庞大潜力。今年8月中旬，我们与Punk Panda科技公司正式签署战略合作协议，全力支持与投资该公司发展其区块链业务。 AVA如此深具信心的其中一个原因，源自Punk Panda是由一群科技营销与精英共同创办，并采用区块链技术研发出军用级安全防护的通讯系统，因此同样具备防骇、防篡改及追踪功能等。 此项合乎规格且出色的技术，已获英国皇家商业服务处（CCS）推荐，让用户可比目前所有通讯系统更进一步控制个人资讯，高度隐私。 功能全面的通讯系统包含基本的聊天、电子邮件、视频会议、云文件，以及数码加密钱包。每项皆是现今网络用户日常需要的功能，尤其在数码加密钱包方面，由于人们格外注重个人资产安全和隐私，将造就未来庞大的应用市场。
