Many companies are relying on software to manage their businesses. Usually, the software, especially those used by smaller companies, is not secure against unauthorized or unethical data manipulation on the database level. This paper recommends and demonstrates the use of blockchain for securing small enterprises against hacking by alerting the management whenever a change is made to the data without using the authorized channels. This is done through blockchain technology’s inherent hash replication and mining algorithm. The paper shows an application where this idea has successfully been implemented for a desktop application built upon a remote database access (RDA) protocol-based relational database management system (RDBMS) such as remote MySQL and remote Oracle database.
