The increasing incidence and sophistication of cyberattacks have made data integrity a critical aspect in modern cybersecurity systems. Although traditional security practices are reasonably effective, they often have weaknesses to a range of attacks, including data tampering, unauthorized access, and system tampering. Blockchain technology, in terms of its decentralized, tamper-proof, and transparent nature, presents a feasible approach to counter these challenges. However, despite its potential, the integration of blockchain in cybersecurity infrastructures is still a field of active research, plagued by serious gaps in its practical application and scalability. This research aims to explore blockchain-based approaches to improving data integrity in cybersecurity systems, focusing on the development of novel frameworks combining the decentralized ledger nature of blockchain with sophisticated cryptographic techniques. Specifically, it will address the limitations of current methods in safeguarding the authenticity and integrity in critical data during transmission and storage in high-risk environments. In addition, the research will examine the challenges of integrating blockchain into existing cybersecurity systems, including scalability, interoperability, and regulatory compliance issues. Through in-depth analysis, this research aims to expand the growing body of knowledge in the effective application of blockchain to improve data integrity without compromising system performance and security. The findings aim to fill the existing research gap by providing actionable commentary on the deployment of blockchain-based solutions to secure data in a range of cybersecurity systems, thereby enabling the creation of more robust and reliable digital environments.
