I wonder what "blockchain" means here. The word is all over https://logsentinel.com/ but it may be just to make "immutable audit trail" more buzzwordy.

In 2017 they posted a skeptical https://techblog.bozho.net/blockchain-its-all-greek-to-me/ which in linked to from very recent https://techblog.bozho.net/digital-transformation-and-techno...

> Technology alone will not solve anything. And my blockchain skepticism is a hint in that direction – many blockchain enthusiasts are claiming that blockchain will solve many problems in many areas of life. It won’t. At least not just through clever cryptography and consensus algorithms.

It's exactly that marketing worda for tamper-evident audit log
I'm a bit sad that marketing words work on customers, but that's just how the world is apparently. :) Thanks for the reply and major congratulations and good luck!
