The present study aims to analyze the impact of adopting blockchain-based infrastructures in financial networks on reducing security vulnerabilities in payment systems, with the mediating role of security self-healing. In terms of purpose, this research is applied, and in terms of methodology, it is a quantitative descriptive-correlational study. The statistical population consisted of 1,200 experts in the fields of cybersecurity, payment system architecture, and blockchain technology working in financial institutions, banks, and fintech companies in Iran. Using Cochran’s formula, a sample of 292 participants was selected, and ultimately 284 valid questionnaires were analyzed.
The data collection instrument was a researcher-developed questionnaire comprising 38 items measured on a five-point Likert scale. Its validity was confirmed through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), while reliability was established using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (0.892) and Composite Reliability (CR) values exceeding 0.90. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach with SmartPLS version 3.
The findings revealed that blockchain infrastructure has a positive and statistically significant effect on reducing security vulnerabilities in payment systems (path coefficient = 0.584, t-value = 8.431, p < 0.001). Furthermore, security self-healing was found to play a significant mediating role in this relationship, accounting for 42.3% of the explained variance.
The results suggest that financial institutions can strengthen their cybersecurity posture by integrating blockchain technologies with self-healing security mechanisms, thereby adopting a proactive and resilient defense strategy against emerging cyber threats.
