Yes. Hello all. So before we begin, I have a quick disclaimer here. I would like to clarify that this presentation is based on my personal research and insights. I am in no way speaking on behalf of Amazon Web Services, and the views expressed here are solely my own. The stock is independent of my role at AWS and is focused on exploring how blockchain can enhance incident management. Thank you all for joining today. today to me at Con 4 42. I'm Ju Sal and I'm excited to share my insights on how blockchain is changing the way we handle incident management. In my current role at Amazon Web Services, I focus on solving complex problems related to large scale system incidents. Through this experience, I have seen first firsthand the challenges that come with managing security and operational risk. so this presentation today explores how blockchain can make these processes more secure, efficient, and transparent. So before we, before we begin, you will, notice a QR code on this slide. So you can justcan it and visit my portfolio and connect with me later. Now, let's get started. our, uh, now to set the stage, we'll first, look at the difficulties faced in existing incident management. Then we will ex. Blur how blockchain helps solve this problems and how different industries are applying this approach. From there, we will break down its impact on the security audits and compliance. We will also look at a case study showing real world results and wrap up with challenges, future possibilities, and key takeaways. With all of that in mind. Let's get started by understanding the struggles organizations face when dealing with incidents. it's handling incidents in, modern businesses is far from simple. With rapid dig or digital growth, companies are dealing with more connected systems than ever. So this increases risks. Can get harder to track and respond to security events. So traditional methods, rely on central databases, which can be altered, delayed, or even, lost in the critical moments as businesses and across regions. managing incidents across multiple, locations becomes even harder. So this is where blockchain comes into picture. By offering a way to seek Howly record and share information without a central authority, it changes how we approach event, security events. Let's take a closer look at how this works. at its core, blockchain provides a shared record that. No single person or company can alter. So this is done through a system that records every action in a way that ensures honesty and accuracy Another. Q benefit is automation. S smart contracts. All self running programs help trigger responses automatically, reducing delays and human errors. So these features make blockchain a strong option for. For ending, security events, especially in industries where reliability and trust, are at utmost importance. But what makes it, truly unique is its ability to create records that cannot be changed. So let's explore that next. so one of the, one of the biggest concerns in incident. Handling is proving of what really happened. So records can be altered, deleted, or manipulated, leading to disputes and compliance issues. Blockchain eliminates this risk by keeping an unchangeable record, so each event is stored in a way that, that no one can edit or remove, ensuring full accountability. So this feature is not just useful. it's essential for industries that require accurate records such as finance and healthcare, but security is about more than just keeping the records intact. It also means making sure only the right people have access to it. So let's move on to that. Power system is one that keeps. Helps out unauthorized users while giving the right people easy access. So blockchain does this in three key ways. First, it, it uses encryption to make sure data is protected at all times. Second, access is controlled using smart contracts, which grants permissions automatically based on rules. Oh, finally, blockchain both follows a security model where every action is checked before it is allowed, making unauthorized access nearly impossible. So this security benefits help organizations gain trust and reduce risk. But another, major concern of this business. Of this business is, of following the government and industry rules. So that's what we will discuss next. F for many businesses out there, following rules is just as important as protecting data. So mistakes can lead to fines or legal trouble. this is where, blockchain makes compliance easier by, by actually creating the records that are always accurate and available for review, automated tracking and ensures that every action is logged, reducing the need for manual reports. Okay, so this helps. This helps business prove they are following rules without spending extra time or effort. But how do we make sure that the system itself is working correctly? that's where audits come in. So our well structured. System needs, regular checks to stay reliable. blockchain auditing is done in four ways. First, there is only ongoing improvement where security measures are updated based on new threats. Second, there's a compliance verification to make sure industry rules are being backed. Third, the system's daily operations are. are reviewed to check for inefficiencies. And finally, the technology itself is tested for weeks. So by following this process, organizations can ensure that our blockchain setup is always working, is expected. now let's see how different industries are applying these ideas. Companies in finance, healthcare, and security are adopting, adopting, blockchain, rapidly than others. So, although banks, we use it to track transactions without risk of fraud, hospitals rely on it to keep patient records safe. security of firms use it to monitor threats in real time. Each of these industries, benefits in, in, in its own ways, but they are all, share. but they all share a need for, reliable and care systems to understand our, understand blockchains, really impact, let's actually, go through, Go through a real world case study. uh, large financial companies struggled with slow response times and our data tracking. So before blockchain, resolving an issue took almost two days. So after switching to blockchain, this dropped by 72% compliance reporting, which was manual and time consuming. It's also, also, became 89% faster. So this case proves that blockchain is not just an idea, it actually delivers measurable improvements. However, No system is perfect. So let's discuss some challenges that come with adopting this technology. Oh, so while, so while blockchain has, its, has its clear benefits, it also comes with some, hurdles, setting up a new system requires investment training and a shift in company culture. Indeed. Creating blockchain with older systems is another challenge. So despite these obstacles, businesses are finding ways to overcome them by starting small and scaling up. and then, and then looking ahead, let's see, let's see, no where the, where this blockchain is headed in the future. So blockchain is evolving alongside artificial intelligence and connected devices. all, all together, these technologies will help, predict problems before they happen and ultimate response, but even further, and the will, the future. research will focus on, on making blockchain easier to use and more adaptable. Organizations that start using it now will be in a strong position. As these advancements unfolded. so this, this brings us to end of this session. I share all of your time and interest if you'd like to explore this ideas further. scan this QR code and then connect with me. I look for, to hearing, hearing your thoughts and answers. and answering any of your, any further questions that you have. So thank you again and have a great day. Bye-bye.
