This approach makes it possible to track anomalies in real time, record operations in a distributed ledger, and automate auditing. As part of the research methodology, methods of integrating graph queries to detect attack patterns with consensus algorithms (Proof of Authority, PBFT) are examined, minimizing processing delays. Practical experiments demonstrate that the use of hardware security modules (HSM) for signing transactions and hashing graph states enhances key protection. The results show that the proposed architecture reduces incident response times, ensures transparency of supply chains, and prevents data tampering. The discussion addresses scalability challenges, the need for load balancing in IoT networks, and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among experts. Special attention is given to the prospects of implementing quantum-resistant cryptography, smart contracts for automated risk management, and integrating augmented reality for threat visualization. It is emphasized that the combination of graph structures and blockchain not only strengthens cyber resilience but also forms the foundation for self-regulating systems critically important for Industry 4.0.
