Security And Privacy In Iomt Challenges And Solutions

This book explores Internet of Medical Things (Io MT) security and privacy in electronic healthcare addressing vulnerabilities in medical devices that expose patient data to cyber-attacks. It covers Io MT security challenges potential attacks and solutions considering resource constraints network architecture and communication protocols. Io MT is revolutionizing the medical sector by providing personalized and targeted treatments and by facilitating seamless communication of medical data. Io MT devices are more trustworthy in monitoring and tracking due to higher accuracy levels which also minimize human errors and inaccurate reporting. While the merits of Io MT devices are clear they also pose severe privacy and security risks. Medical systems acquire process and perform decision-making based on this sensitive health information. Cyber attackers who exploit the flaws and weaknesses in these Io MT devices might well be able to penetrate the hospital network and gain unauthorized access to private patient data. Attacks on these Io MT devices also have the potential to endanger the patients' lives and cause serious physical harm. In addition to outlining viable solutions that take into account constrained resources at Io MT end-devices hybrid network architecture application characteristics and communication protocols the book covers the core concepts of Io MT security and privacy. It describes both theoretical and practical aspects for those working in security in the Io MT emphasizing the most significant potential Io T security issues and challenges. |Security and Privacy in IoMT Challenges and Solutions
