Closing the Care Gap with Wearable Devices: Innovating Healthcare with Wearable Patient Monitoring (Intelligent Health Series)
by Michael W. Davis Michael J. Kirwan Walter N. Maclay Harry P. PappasPatient-focused healthcare, driven by COVID-19 experiences, has become a hallmark for providing healthcare services to patients across all modalities of care and in the home. The ability to capture real-time patient data, no matter the location, via remote patient monitoring, and to transmit that data to providers and organizations approved by the consumer/patient, will become a critical capability for all healthcare providers. Of all the remote patient monitoring product designs, wearable medical devices are emerging as the best positioned to support the evolving patient-focused healthcare environment. This book is for those who are evaluating, selecting, implementing, managing, or designing wearable devices to monitor the health of patients and consumers. This book will provide the knowledge to understand the issues that mitigate the risk of wearable technologies so people can deliver successful projects using these technologies. It will discuss their use in remote patient monitoring, the advantages and disadvantages of different types of physiological sensors, different wireless communication protocols, and different power sources. It will describe issues and solutions in cybersecurity and HIPAA compliance, as well as setting them up to be used in healthcare systems and by patients.

Cloud and Edge Networking
by Kamel Haddadou Guy PujolleA major transformation in the world of networks is underway, as the focus shifts from physical technology to software-based solutions. In this book, the authors present this new generation of networks that are based in the Cloud by detailing the transition from a complex environment to a simple digital infrastructure. This infrastructure brings together connected devices, the antennas that collect radio waves, the optical fibers that carry signals and the data center that handles all of the different processes. From this perspective, the data center becomes the brain, managing network services, controls, automation, intelligence, security and other applications. This architecture is relevant to carrier networks, the Internet of Things, enterprise networks and the global networks of the major Internet companies. Cloud and Edge Networking further discusses developments at the border of networks, the Edge, where data is processed as near as possible to the source. Over the next ten years, the Edge will become a major strategic factor.
Cloud and Fog Computing Platforms for Internet of Things (Chapman & Hall/CRC Cloud Computing for Society 5.0)
by Pankaj Bhambri Sita Rani Gaurav Gupta Alex KhangToday, relevant data are typically delivered to cloud-based servers for storing and analysis in order to extract key features and enable enhanced applications beyond the basic transmission of raw data and to realize the possibilities associated with the impending Internet of Things (IoT). To allow for quicker, more efficient, and expanded privacy-preserving services, a new trend called Fog Computing has emerged: moving these responsibilities to the network's edge. Traditional centralized cloud computing paradigms confront new problems posed by IoT application growth, including high latency, limited storage, and outages due to a lack of available resources. Fog Computing puts the cloud and IoT devices closer together to address these issues. Instead of sending IoT data to the cloud, the fog processes and stores it locally at IoT devices. Unlike the cloud, fog-based services have a faster reaction time and better quality overall. Fog Computing, Cloud Computing, and their connectivity with the IoT are discussed in this book, with an emphasis on the advantages and implementation issues. It also explores the various architectures and appropriate IoT applications. Fog Computing, Cloud Computing, and Internet of Things are being suggested as potential research directions. Features: A systematic overview of the state-of-the-art in Cloud Computing, Fog Computing, and Internet of Things Recent research results and some pointers to future advancements in architectures and methodologies Detailed examples from clinical studies using several different data sets

Cloud Attack Vectors: Building Effective Cyber-Defense Strategies to Protect Cloud Resources
by Morey J. Haber Brian Chappell Christopher HillsCyberattacks continue to increase in volume and sophistication, targeting everything owned, managed, and serviced from the cloud. Today, there is widespread consensus—it is not a matter of if, but rather when an organization will be breached. Threat actors typically target the path of least resistance. With the accelerating adoption of cloud technologies and remote work, the path of least resistance is shifting in substantive ways. In recent years, attackers have realigned their efforts, focusing on remaining undetected, monetization after exploitation, and publicly shaming organizations after a breach.New, innovative, and useful products continue to emerge and offer some cloud protection, but they also have distinct limitations. No single, standalone solution or strategy can effectively protect against all cloud attack vectors or identify all malicious activity. The simple fact is that the cloud is based on a company’s assets being offered as services. As a result, the best security any organization can achieve is to establish controls and procedures in conjunction with services that are licensed in the cloud.Cloud Attack Vectors details the risks associated with cloud deployments, the techniques threat actors leverage, the empirically-tested defensive measures organizations should adopt, and shows how to improve detection of malicious activity.What You’ll Learn Know the key definitions pertaining to cloud technologies, threats, and cybersecurity solutionsUnderstand how entitlements, permissions, rights, identities, accounts, credentials, and exploits can be leveraged to breach a cloud environmentImplement defensive and monitoring strategies to mitigate cloud threats, including those unique to cloud and hybrid cloud environmentsDevelop a comprehensive model for documenting risk, compliance, and reporting based on your cloud implementation Who This Book Is ForNew security professionals, entry-level cloud security engineers, managers embarking on digital transformation, and auditors looking to understand security and compliance risks associated with the cloud
