Blockchain/Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) Risk and Security Considerations

There is no shortage of guidance on how to design, configure and deploy Fabric solutions. This paper provides insights into how the three layers of blockchain technology interact with enterprise security services to deliver specific security outcomes. This holistic approach does not shy away from the hard work of operating production blockchain networks within computer networks constrained by critical sector requirements, such as security accreditation, PCI DSS segmentation, etc. These insights offer a method that can help organizations to deploy DLT solutions that are secure, cost-effective, and meet regulatory and compliance requirements for organizations. It also provides recommendations for Hyperledger Fabric that could be applied to other permissioned blockchains.
