HEROIC.com: The Future of AI-Powered Cybersecurity

Introduction

Blockchain is a decentralized general ledger. It is a computer network that has an identical copy of the database and changes its status (records) to a common agreement based on pure mathematics. All this means that there is no need for any central server or any entity we trust (e.g. central bank, notaries, banks, paypal, etc.). The blockchain is the technological basis for all cryptocurrencies, whether Bitcoin, Ethereum, Hyperledger, etc.

An important part of the blockchain is the smart contracts, a piece of code that is stored in the blockchain network (in each participant's database). It basically defines the conditions to which all parties using the contract agree. Therefore, if the required conditions are met, certain actions are executed. Because the smart contract is stored on all computers on the network, everyone must run it and get the same result. This way users can be sure that the result is correct.

After this brief introduction to the broad topic of Blockchain and Smart Contracts, we can already see that this technology opens many doors to new decentralized businesses and eliminates the need for expensive third parties. Many new companies are now working on this technology, and large companies are testing it in closed networks to collaborate directly with each other without the need for intermediaries. For that reason, there is a lot of projects that are starting to use this new technology. However, not all of them are worth it. We have to read well what each project is dedicated to, what is its whitepaper, its qualified advisors, etc. As I said, blockchain technology has gained popularity due to the hype about cryptocurrencies which has shaken many startups to launch their own cryptocurrencies even without convincing fundamentals. This trend has emerged because new entrants have been more agile in adopting emerging technologies compared to incumbents who are hampered by legacy systems. However, this competitiveness and this advantage enjoyed by the new players may be short-lived, as no economies of scale are taken into account.

Moving to the topic I want to talk you today, as cyber threats grow exponentially, modern cybersecurity solutions are reactive, outdated and ineffective. The vast majority of threat data is controlled by large companies and governments, making it difficult and expensive to create next-generation solutions that improve protection. Recent advances in protection against artificial intelligence-based threats are promising, but solutions are implemented almost exclusively in large corporate applications, which puts technology out of reach of people most vulnerable to attacks.

For this reason, the project I am going to present you is HEROIC.com, a new cryptocurrency project that is driving the future of cybersecurity with artificial intelligence and the blockhain to protect against current and next-generation cyber threats.

Video Presentation

Definition

As I said, HEROIC.com (HRO) (https://tokensale.heroic.com/) is the most innovative blockchain based cryptocurrency project that adopts a new approach to protection against AI-driven threats. Using large data, artificial intelligence and the blocking chain, combined with a decentralized platform for protection against peer-to-peer threats, HEROIC.com will change cybersecurity as we know it and make next-generation solutions universally available. HEROIC.com will empower and encourage developers and companies to create the next generation of cybersecurity through the HEROIC.com Ecosystem.

Features

There are three major characteristics that HEROIC.com presents, which are described into the following table.

Image	Feature	Description
	Arc Reactor	HEROIC Arc Reactor ™ is an open and decentralized threat intelligence that collects, transforms and distributes threat data for the benefit of the community.
	Guardian	HEROIC Guardian ™ is a unified cloud-based platform that combines Arc Reactor threat data with artificial intelligence to predict and prevent cyber attacks.
	R & D platform	It allows developers and organizations to interact visually and programmatically with Arc Reactor threat data and create their own custom solutions.

Benefits

Image	Advantage	Description
	Open, AI-Powered Threat Protection	Get premium access to our unified cybersecurity platform that manages all the pieces of the cybersecurity puzzle and uses artificial intelligence to block advanced attacks and cyber threats.
	Compensation of threats	Receive effortless HRO tokens as your devices anonymously share the threat data that is collected while browsing the Web, downloading files and programs and through the normal daily use of the devices.

Bounty

The project gives the opportunity to earn HEROIC.com tokens performing some social media tasks and doing simple steps from the bounty program explained into the Bitcointalk Web Page. Here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4511192.0) you can access the link in order to see what are the conditions to become an early HRO contributor and start acquiring tokens.

Doesn't that sound interesting? If you are interested in this airdrop or basically in the ICO, you can read their Whitepaper here (https://tokensale.heroic.com/wp-content/uploads/HEROIC_Whitepaper_V1.pdf). You can also stay tuned in their official Telegram group (https://t.me/heroicdotcom). I hope you liked the post and soon I'll send you new ones.
