Hybridization
The idea of the "private" and "industry shared/private" blockchains is, ironically, paradoxical to the underlying idea/theory of blockchain -- in that the technology, being inherently "trustless," is theoretically more trustworthy because it relies on algorithms and distributed computing instead of a centralized authority who can potentially manipulate (or, for that matter, be used to manipulate should the centralized authority become breached/compromised).  And, yet, compliance and other "best-practice" dictates require (or, at least, are interpreted to require) that centralized authority be in charge.

Obviously, something is better than nothing, so it would seem.  But it's a bit funny how these hybrid blockchains have evolved and come to be.

circle of trust
This may be one of the most important aspect of blockchain. Trust relationship between users and banks also users and users.

Agree. For the fact that encryption strategies have their own flaws.

Agree. You may be a well-educated users and would not click any link that is suspicious.

I would agree with you. That does not mean we need to give up.

Digital identity
 

Ultimate goal of Digital identity should be identifying a person by staying anonymous. A challenge we need to achieve.

Re: Security failed
Probably it depends on how you use the internet and what virtual identity you get. Not everything is so transparent as you'd expect.

I think the idea of internet or online security is fake. Better say a huge lie. There is always someone who follows every step and any click you do.

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
