New uses for blockchain. Sanghani has two passions: innovation and customer service. His efforts to bring the power of blockchain to the Department of Health and Human Services harnessed both those passions. His test case for blockchain supported the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program’s mandate to provide log reports for security risk assessments. The project greatly reduced the time spent on auditing reports and led to an easy approval of HHS’ CDM submissions by the Department of Homeland Security. Under Sanghani’s leadership, Octo used blockchain to file about 10 million logs per application per month and showed the government it could save months per audit.
