Hyperledger Fabric 2.0 Architecture Security Controls Checklist

Release Date: 06/28/2021

Blockchain technology is being rapidly adopted by enterprises to bring traceability and transparency to external business workflows. Considering that many of these workflows involve transactions and custody of value in the form of digital assets or other high-value data, cybersecurity attributes such as privacy, confidentiality, integrity, and availability certainly take center stage in the blockchain space.

In this spreadsheet, we deliver a fully implementable security controls checklist for the blockchain framework Hyperledger Fabric 2.0. These controls are aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework’s controls to proactively prevent, detect and respond to the risks of Fabric 2.0, thus mitigating the business impacts downstream caused by loss of trade, trust, and ownership. In the accompanying Hyperledger Fabric 2.0 Architecture Security Report, we identified the cybersecurity risks of implementing Hyperledger Fabric 2.0’s architecture as a permissioned blockchain enterprise network for a trade finance business in a cloud-based environment.

Key Takeaways:
  • Definitions for terms relating to Hyperledger Fabric and cybersecurity
  • Descriptions for 156 controls
  • The cybersecurity functional area for each control, allowing for clear lines of roles and responsibilities
  • The architectural flaws or weaknesses that could be triggered or exploited to get access to the Fabric network
  • How each control works to mitigate the listed vulnerability
