ABOUT
This workshop is organized by Al-Ahliyya Amman University Cybersecurity Center (AAUC2), and Cybersecurity Center/Association of Arab Universities in collaboration with leading academic and industry partners. The title "Blockchain, Cybersecurity, and Machine Learning: Strategic Synergies" reflects the transformative potential of combining three cutting-edge technologies to address complex challenges in today's digital landscape. Blockchain, with its decentralized and immutable ledger, provides a solid foundation for trust and transparency. Cybersecurity ensures that IT assets (systems, data, and networks) remain protected from threats. Machine learning introduces intelligence to automation, enabling predictive insights and real-time decision-making. When these technologies intersect, they form a powerful alliance that enhances efficiency, safeguards critical infrastructure, and fosters innovative solutions. Strategic synergies between these fields are not just about technical integration but also about creating a framework for sustainable innovation. Blockchain can provide reliable, tamper-proof data for machine learning models, enhancing their accuracy and reliability. At the same time, machine learning can support cybersecurity by identifying and mitigating threats before they escalate. Cybersecurity, in turn, ensures that the combined systems remain secure. Together, these technologies represent the future of digital transformation, with applications across finance, healthcare, supply chain management, etc.
