The U.S. will lead the world in blockchain investments, accounting for 40% of spending, followed by Western Europe, China and the Asia Pacific region (not including Japan), according to a report from IDC. Blockchain technology can be considered as one of the main drivers to achieve a substantial cost saving. According to a Santander FinTech study, distributed ledger technology could reduce financial services infrastructure cost between US$15 billion and $20 billion per annum by 2022. The typical organization loses five percent of revenues to fraud each year, according to a study by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. The decentralized systems that can be built with blockchain are exciting and applicable across cybersecurity topics -- with promising areas like addressing hardware sourcing supply-chain problems, and software supply-chain problems. Businesses are already increasing the efficiency, security, and transparency of their brands by integrating blockchain technology into their existing production and shipping processes.
