Modern life cannot be imagined without the Internet. Almost every person has an electronic gadget, a laptop or a computer with an Internet connection. We spend a lot of time in the network, communicate with friends, send millions of messages, put hundreds of photos and do not even think about how much information about ourselves we leave on the web. This is what hackers use. They collect all the information about the victims from social networks and then strike at the weakly protected places. But not only ordinary citizens are victims of cybercriminals, large companies also suffer because of them and suffer huge losses.

Threats to security every day make new demands. So the modern world is arranged, that the cyber threats are always two steps ahead of the defense systems. Because, firstly, it's impossible to predict what the hackers will come to mind. Secondly, modern systems for preventing cyber threats are not yet sufficiently developed to rid the modern companies of multi-billion losses per year as a result of hacker attacks. But with the advent of Blockchain's technology, these opportunities have dramatically increased and HEROIC, whose ICO is our review today, is successfully implementing them.

The HEROIC is an open and intelligent ecosystem of cybersecurity, based on the blockchain, which protects against cyber threats of the current and next generation. The developers emphasize that modern security systems are not sufficiently effective and do not keep up with the rapid development of cybercriminals. In addition, databases of potential threats that are collected by such systems are only available to large companies, and therefore inaccessible to ordinary users. Therefore, developers will promote and stimulate the development of an open source software solution as needed, the first of which is open-source, AI-powered threat protection. Access to data and resources in the environment will be done exclusively through the HRO token.

The HEROIC system consists of three main components:

1. HEROIC Arc Reactor is a decentralized cybersecurity threat intelligence platform that provides three main functions. This is the collection, transformation, and dissemination of threat data, for use with artificial intelligence and cybersecurity systems. The goal of Arc Reactor is to provide an open data warehouse on the basis of which an algorithm will be developed, with the help of which artificial intelligence will analyze threats and classify them. Since artificial intelligence will be used, the algorithm will be more accurate and qualitative when adding a large amount of data. HEROIC Arc Reactor has all the prerequisites to becoming one of the largest repositories of cyber threats around the world. The cost of this data will be calculated using a special formula. The price will be formed by several criteria, for example, the importance of data, threat assessment, data volume. The market for data provided by Arc Reactor is calculated solely on the HRO's own token and related intellectual contracts.
2. HEROIC Guardian is a cloud-based platform for cybersecurity, which provides a simple interface for individual users and organizations with which you can manage all parts of the cybersecurity ecosystem. Here, data from Arc Reactor will be integrated with artificial intelligence, which in the future can predict possible threats from cybercriminals, and build a system of protection against them. The Guardian will allow software developers and organizations to develop additional integration and applications that connect to the Guardian and its data layer. Still, it is worth noting that through the Guardian interface, access and management of the purse of HRO tokens will be realized.
3. Research and Development Environment is an environment that provides easy access to threat data from Arc Reactor combined with robust research and development software. Here, both for developers and for companies, it will be possible to create and test their own cybersecurity algorithms using Arc Reactor data. HEROIC.com will provide the necessary tools and data for the creation of modern security systems. Access to tools and data in the framework of Research and Development will be realized using HRO tokens.

And finally a little of my thoughts about the project. The idea itself is very promising. But the idea is an idea, and when you invest, you need to look not only at marketing but also on real development, for technical details. Before investing, I always advise you to see if the project has a profile on GitHub and how complete it is. In this project it's all right, below you can see the link to GitHub. That is, the team not only promises something, but also actively does it, and this raises the security of investments to a new level. Of course, there is always a risk, but here the risk is justified. The project looks interesting and promising, I very much hope that it will really change the alignment of forces in the field of cybersecurity.
