AR specialist WiMi has developed BlockChain Guardian to provide security protection for IIoT systems and networks.

Blockchain Guardian combines blockchain with the real-time monitoring and anomaly detection capabilities of intelligent Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS).

By applying blockchain to IIOT network security, BlockChain Guardian technology allows real-time monitoring, anomaly detection and blocking of network traffic.

The technology records information about network packets on the blockchain, allowing real time monitoring of network traffic and rapid discovery of abnormal behaviours.

The technology uses intelligent NIDS to identify current and potential network attacks by analysing data within TCP/IP packets. In BlockChain Guardian, information about each network packet is recorded on the blockchain in a growing chain. In this way, all data transmission processes are recorded and unmodifiable, thus ensuring data integrity and security.

BlockChain Guardian can self-train and evaluate, allowing it to optimise continuously its security protection capabilities. This enables BlockChain Guardian to adapt to changing network threats and update its security rules and policies.
