Validian Corp (fka VLDI)

In cybersecurity, even though we throw multiple layers of technology at the problem, more than 80% of breaches are caused by human error, action or inaction.

This is how Raphael responded to my question if VP was hack proof in an email:

In answer to the number question, that's really not quantifiable I think, but an interesting endeavor. Let me see if I can explain - the definition of "hack" would first need to be established. If you narrow the definition of "hack" to external actors only, and Validian were deployed to it's fullest potential, then, math is math, and the protocols that Validian implements are all well established and have withstood the test of time. If you include internal actors, then that number is different, as it would for any other security system. Because, statistically, the greatest security threats are internal, not external, it's just that external attacks garner more attention. You have to remember, as a matter of needing to do business, you give insiders all the access they need to work and be productive. So, if they're sitting behind a trusted workstation, that employs all the required cryptographic protocols and authentication mechanisms, to access the corporate database, that's not something Validian, or CB or any other security mechanism can prevent.

I also believe that AI is now starting to play a major role in the Cyber security world both in hacking and in protecting. In three years since Rafael article I would have to say the world has changed very rapidly with AI and blockchain technology. I believe VLDI if it ever gets off the ground it will be a short flight since in 3 years nothing new has come out of VLDI.
