Securing the Internet of Healthcare Things

August 6, 2018

The Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging as one of the most significant developments of our era. This growing network of physical devices, vehicles and other items with Internet connectivity can collect and exchange rich data. The IoT is transforming how organizations of all sizes, in almost all industries, operate: in short, the Enterprise of Things (EoT) has arrived. Gartner forecasts that more than 20 billion connected things will be in use worldwide by 2020.1 KPMG says the projected value of IoT technology will be up to $6.2 trillion by 2025, while the McKinsey Global Institute predicts the IoT’s total potential economic impact could reach $11.1 trillion by 2025.2, 3 The EoT holds great promise, but it also exponentially accelerates the vulnerability of organizations to data breaches and cybersecurity threats. Connected devices can be a competitive edge for organizations (supporting innovation, new use cases and more efficient workflows) or a liability (introducing vulnerability to hacks and data breaches). For healthcare organizations to realize the full potential of the EoT, they must be able to confidentially and reliably transmit highly sensitive data between connected devices.
