Decentralized systems security pertains to the protective measures and protocols safeguarding distributed networks from malicious activity and vulnerabilities. It focuses on ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and operations across numerous independent nodes. This security model contrasts with centralized approaches by distributing trust and control. Robust decentralized security is vital for the resilience of blockchain and Web3 applications.
Context
