Today (July 15, 2016) IBM announces that aims at helping businesses test and run blockchain projects for private applications.
Defined as the “IBM secure blockchain cloud environment”, this project is a new integration of the IBM’s existing blockchain cloud service.
However, the company goal is to increase the security of private blockchain services running in the cloud.
Donna Dillenberger recently commented how the cloud environment - thanks to the IBM LinuxOne server - could protect valuable data on a private blockchain.
She explained to Coindesk:
"The cloud is made up of a special hardware that protects the blockchain from hacks, from people who have unethically compromised root users or system administrator credentials."
Using this safe network, blockchain applications built through the IBM blockchain are signed and encrypted so it is impossible for a malware to install itself on this platform.
This project is currently in a limited beta version.
