Securing Your Intestinal Data
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

Medical devices that use IP or wireless protocols to pass data and instruction between the host and the client aren’t all that unique. What is unique is the diversity, intensity, and depth of today’s security breaches, particularly in the face of the emerging Internet of Things/Everything (IoT/E) and the general lack of security across such medical devices. These elements can lay these medi... » read more
