David Holtzman, the Man Responsible for Designing Domain Name System Joins Naoris Protocol

What Is Happening?

Internet innovator, technologist, and author David H. Holtzman joined Naoris Protocol as an advisor. Holtzman will assist Naoris Protocol in the areas of marketing, technology and strategy to enable the company to revamp the cyber security mitigation industry with its CyberMesh technology.

Holtzman had an influential impact on the technology that would become the foundation of the modern internet. He oversaw the DNS and the 'dot' root server in the late 1990s as Chief Technology Officer of Network Solutions. During his tenure, the number of active domain names on the internet exploded from half a million to over twenty million.

Holtzman has held positions as Chief Scientist at IBM and Head of a Major Research Group at Booz-Allen & Hamilton prior to founding Networks Solutions. The presidential campaigns of Senator Evan Bayh and General Wesley Clarke both relied on him as their chief technology officer and senior cybersecurity adviser. He has spent six years as a consultant, adviser, or director for many blockchain ventures.

The World has a Big Cybersecurity Problem

To wreak havoc on our economies, damage our democracies, harm enterprises big and small, and steal our personal data, black hat hackers, rogue organizations, and nation-state actors have an array of cyber weapons and can readily attack centralized network designs. Every business can use a strong blockchain protocol to protect itself from growing cyber threats.

Most of Web3 is built on top of Web2 architecture, which wasn’t made to handle the level of cyber threats that exist today.

The security tools for Web2 are siloed. Over the last 35 years, centralized vendors have owned and run black boxes using the same static method. Naoris Protocol makes it possible for Web2 and Web3 to have a CyberSecure environment as a decentralized network minimizes the problem of a single point of failure faced by a centralized database management system and networks. The solution of creating a decentralized network for protecting user data instead of a centralized database and its subsequent adoption can be a game changer for the blockchain industry.

Why Holtzman’s Joining Naoris is Significant for the Blockchain Industry?

Holtzman is an outspoken supporter of using personal cryptography rather than waiting for government regulation to protect one’s privacy. In his book “Privacy Lost: How Technology is Endangering Your Privacy,” he provided a thorough insider’s exposé of the world of intrusive technology, who is using it, and how our privacy is at risk.

The inefficiency and vulnerabilities of centralized legacy systems threaten global stability as the world transitions to the new Web3 paradigms of DeFi and borderless payments systems based on blockchain. Holtzman is backing the Naoris Protocol to decentralize the cybersecurity policies of contemporary businesses, government organizations, Web3 initiatives, and more. Further,  Naoris Protocol would be able to learn a lot from Holtzman based on his experiences of building technology during a radical era of Internet culture and revolution.

What is Naoris Protocol?

When it comes to protecting our increasingly interconnected world, Naoris Protocol is the de facto cyber security mesh. By transforming every node in a network into a reliable validator, our innovative design pattern ensures that networks strengthen rather than weaken over time. There has to be a strong Blockchain protocol that all businesses may utilize to safeguard themselves from the growing cyber danger.

Final Thoughts On Web3 and CyberSecurity

In my opinion, decentralized network-based databases and Naoris’ innovative approach to utilizing them for security validation will likely alter the cyber-security game. To scale Naoris decentralized cybersecurity mesh, brilliant minds from Web2 and Web3 are needed to build and scale the technology. David Holtzman made significant contributions to the internet as we know it today; consequently, Holtzman's decision to join the web3 revolution and help strengthen network security bodes well for the continued growth and success of the digital economy and blockchain technology.
