# Watch: Certihash / Sentinel Node (Case Study)

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/a3OdA6qCwlg>" %}

Cyberattacks are growing in both frequency and sophistication, costing businesses an **average of $4.24 million per breach**.

Traditional cybersecurity systems suffer from **significant detection delays**—averaging 221 days to identify a breach—and **rely heavily on manual log analysis and post-event investigations**. These limitations expose organizations to prolonged vulnerability and prevent timely responses to security threats.

Existing Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms also produce **high false positive rates and lack tamper-proof audit trails**, leaving room for manipulation and delays in accountability during incident reviews.

### Certihash Node Overview

Sentinel Node, advanced cybersecurity using blockchain technology for near-instant breach detection and response. Powered by Sentinel Node, the Certihash solution **reduces breach detection time from 287 days to under 1 minute.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hub.bsvblockchain.org/higher-learning/bsv-academy/introduction-to-blockchain-technology/the-fundamentals-of-blockchain-and-web-3-technology/watch-certihash-sentinel-node-case-study.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
