Internet of Things (IoT) Security Market 2019 Break Down by Top Companies, Countries, Applications, Challenges, Opportunities and Forecast 2026 - Cole...

Like many Canadians, I have been spending a little more time online while we #stayathome during the COVID-19 restrictions.

Last month Canadas large internet companies reported internet usage increases of over 50 per cent nationally. A report from April reports that Canadian usage of social media (in time spent) at the start of the pandemic had increased by a whopping 70 per cent.

So it turns out that I am not alone in my increased usage of Twitter and Facebook: a lot of us are turning to social media a lot more during these troubling times.

But social media can be a pretty toxic place at the best of times. The political partisan bickering, the Russian-financed bots (designed to destabilize democracy) and the keyboard warriors and trolls who foist their negativism and abuse from the comfort of anonymity can make for a stressful online experience.

Not to mention the online threats. In April, the Canadian Internet Registration Agency, in partnership with our cyber-security organizations launched the Canadian Shield, a free internet security service released in part because of the growing number COVID-19 cyber security threats.

During particularly troubling times being online can seem anything but a relaxing way to get information and entertainment.

I have some friends who have blocked Twitter and Facebook recently, solely for the anxiety it causes them. Others (myself included) have reported social media-fatigue that may or may not be linked of pandemic fatigue.

This issue first arose for me about a month ago. I was just about to reply to a nasty bot on Twitter and was consumed that day with COVID-19-related stress. Then I remembered a post of someone who I had started following on Twitter recently Gurdeep Pandher of Yukon.

Pandher is a bhangra musician and teaches bhangra-style dancing in Whitehorse, Yukon. The uploaded videos of his music and dancing are just absolutely stunning and so obviously happy.

I had been noticing over the first month of the pandemic that the pandemic hadnt changed the happiness that he was sharing with the rest of the world. Many of his videos feature drone footage of him dancing in beautiful Yukon locations. Another showed him dancing bhangra to the bagpipes of his closest neighbour. Every video exudes joy.

Curious to know how someone was remaining so positive, I reached out and he graciously replied.

I spoke by telephone with him from his remote cabin outside Whitehorse and asked him how he seems to remain so positive during this time.

I have read a lot of history. I watch a lot of historical movies. I am aware that humanity has gone through so much (refugee crises, wars, famines). But we survived. I take a lesson from that. We will survive he explains.

Pandher also explains that his art form helps keep him happy.

I think that the positive energy of bhangra keeps me positive. The dance is so happy. Its so high energy. It keeps me happy, positive and optimistic, he adds.

Like most people everywhere, Pandher had to change his approach because of the virus. He had been teaching in-person bhangra dance lessons to people from all walks of life in Whitehorse before the pandemic. Such classes were banned in the Yukon as they were in the rest of Canada because of COVID-19.

I had to make a few changes. I had to go online. I was hesitant because I didnt believe it would be possible to do what I do in person, online. The first class I posted I had 70 people from across Canada participate. This inspired a lot. Now I see people and have students from all over Canada and the world.

Thats mind-blowing to me how you can connect. I probably never would have taught online if not for COVID, he says.

In the weeks since we have spoken, Pandhers popularity online has only increased. He has since been featured on the CBC in print and on television and has been the guest of a podcast from the Bank of Montreal.

There is a reason why Pandher has been gaining international attention for what he is doing: his art and approach are a much needed antidote at this moment in Canadian and world history.

As he was quoted in that podcast, we can create happiness in a world thats not perfect.

That is a message I think we could all use right now.

More information about Pandher and his classes can be found at his website or you can find him on Twitter or Facebook.

Set guidelines for how to participate in a teleconference as well as rules for internet use and social media posts on company networks.

IT departments need policies to cover every element of remote work as many companies make working from home a standard option for employees. Providing clear and specific advice for individuals as well as IT team members will boost security and erase questions about what is allowed and what is banned.

This group of policies covers telecommuting, teleconferencing, remote access, and internet and email usage on corporate networks. Each one takes a comprehensive approach to the topic and allows for customization at the same time.

If your company implemented telecommuting or remote access policies several years ago, now is the time to update those guidelines and make sure they reflect the current state of work and technology. Check out these four remote work policies to see which one is the best fit for your organization.

Telecommuting is becoming the rule instead of the exception for employees at many companies. This policy sets expectations and guidelines for people working from home or a coffee shop. You'll find guidelines for eligibility, equipment, office supplies, and remote workspaces..

This guide will help team members host and participate in video conferences. This etiquette guide covers the technical details of video conferencing as well as expectations of participants. This policy may provide the extra reminder to a certain co-worker who needs to mute the line if he is not talking.

Providing secure remote access to corporate networks can lower equipment costs, reduce office overhead, and boost employee productivity. Employees working from home or other remote locations need to understand their role in keeping company data secure. To ensure that increasing remote access doesn't also increase security risks, companies need a remote access policy. This policy also will guide IT staff on when to grant access as well as how to limit it.

In addition to controlling remote access, IT departments must manage internet and email use among employees. This policy addresses information handling, digital hygiene, and safe browsing. You'll also find guidelines about governing access to social media sites including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram.

In the special wards of Shanghais Public Health Clinical Center, nurses use smart thermometers to check the temperatures of COVID-19 patients. Each persons temperature is recorded with a sensor, reducing the risk of infection through contact, and the data is sent to an observation dashboard. An abnormal result triggers an alert to medical staff, who can then intervene promptly. The gathered data also allows medics to analyse trends over time.

The smart thermometers are designed by VivaLNK, a Silicon-Valley based startup, and are a powerful example of the many digital products and services that are revolutionizing healthcare. After the Internet of Things, which transformed the way we live, travel and work by connecting everyday objects to the Internet, its now time for the Internet of Bodies. This means collecting our physical data via devices that can be implanted, swallowed or simply worn, generating huge amounts of health-related information.

Some of these solutions, such as fitness trackers, are an extension of the Internet of Things. But because the Internet of Bodies centres on the human body and health, it also raises its own specific set of opportunities and challenges, from privacy issues to legal and ethical questions.

As futuristic as the Internet of Bodies may seem, many people are already connected to it through wearable devices. The smartwatch segment alone has grown into a $13 billion market by 2018, and is projected to increase another 32% to $18 billion by 2021. Smart toothbrushes and even hairbrushes can also let people track patterns in their personal care and behaviour.

For health professionals, the Internet of Bodies opens the gate to a new era of effective monitoring and treatment.

In 2017, the U.S. Federal Drug Administration approved the first use of digital pills in the United States. Digital pills contain tiny, ingestible sensors, as well as medicine. Once swallowed, the sensor is activated in the patients stomach and transmits data to their smartphone or other devices.

In 2018, Kaiser Permanente, a healthcare provider in California, started a virtual rehab program for patients recovering from heart attacks. The patients shared their data with their care providers through a smartwatch, allowing for better monitoring and a closer, more continuous relationship between patient and doctor. Thanks to this innovation, the completion rate of the rehab program rose from less than 50% to 87%, accompanied by a fall in the readmission rate and programme cost.

The deluge of data collected through such technologies is advancing our understanding of how human behaviour, lifestyle and environmental conditions affect our health. It has also expanded the notion of healthcare beyond the hospital or surgery and into everyday life. This could prove crucial in fighting the coronavirus pandemic. Keeping track of symptoms could help us stop the spread of infection, and quickly detect new cases. Researchers are investigating whether data gathered from smartwatches and similar devices can be used as viral infection alerts by tracking the users heart rate and breathing.

At the same time, this complex and evolving technology raises new regulatory challenges.

What counts as health information?

In most countries, strict regulations exist around personal health information such as medical records and blood or tissue samples. However, these conventional regulations often fail to cover the new kind of health data generated through the Internet of Bodies, and the entities gathering and processing this data.

In the United States, the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA), which is the major law for health data regulation, applies only to medical providers, health insurers, and their business associations. Its definition of personal health information covers only the data held by these entities. This definition is turning out to be inadequate for the era of the Internet of Bodies. Tech companies are now also offering health-related products and services, and gathering data. Margaret Riley, a professor of health law at the University of Virginia, pointed out to me in an interview that HIPPA does not cover the masses of data from consumer wearables, for example.

Another problem is that the current regulations only look at whether the data is sensitive in itself, not whether it can be used to generate sensitive information. For example, the result of a blood test in a hospital will generally be classified as sensitive data, because it reveals private information about your personal health. But today, all sorts of seemingly non-sensitive data can also be used to draw inferences about your health, through data analytics. Glenn Cohen, a professor at Harvard Law school, told me in an interview that even data that is not about health at all, such as grocery shopping lists, can be used for such inferences. As a result, conventional regulations may fail to cover data that is sensitive and private, simply because it did not look sensitive before it was processed.

The World Economic Forum was the first to draw the worlds attention to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the current period of unprecedented change driven by rapid technological advances. Policies, norms and regulations have not been able to keep up with the pace of innovation, creating a growing need to fill this gap.

The Forum established the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network in 2017 to ensure that new and emerging technologies will helpnot harmhumanity in the future. Headquartered in San Francisco, the network launched centres in China, India and Japan in 2018 and is rapidly establishing locally-run Affiliate Centres in many countries around the world.

The global network is working closely with partners from government, business, academia and civil society to co-design and pilot agile frameworks for governing new and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous vehicles, blockchain, data policy, digital trade, drones, internet of things (IoT), precision medicine and environmental innovations.

Identifying and protecting sensitive data matters, because it can directly affect how we are treated by institutions and other people. With big data analytics, countless day-to-day actions and decisions can ultimately feed into our health profile, which may be created and maintained not just by traditional healthcare providers, but also by tech companies or other entities. Without appropriate laws and regulations, it could also be sold. At the same time, data from the Internet of Bodies can be used to make predictions and inferences that could affect a persons or groups access to resources such as healthcare, insurance and employment.

James Dempsey, director of the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology, told me in an interview that this could lead to unfair treatment. He warned of potential discrimination and bias when such data is used for decisions in insurance and employment. The affected people may not even be aware of this.

One solution would be to update the regulations. Sandra Wachter and Brent Mittelstadt, two scholars at the Oxford Internet Institute, suggest that data protection law should focus more on how and why data is processed, and not just on its raw state. They argue for a so-called right to reasonable inferences, meaning the right to have your data used only for reasonable, socially acceptable inferences. This would involve setting standards on whether and when inferring certain information from a persons data, including the state of their present or future health, is socially acceptable or overly invasive.

Apart from the concerns over privacy and sensitivity, there are also a number of practical problems in dealing with the sheer volume of data generated by the Internet of Bodies. The lack of standards around security and data processing makes it difficult to combine data from diverse sources, and use it to advance research. Different countries and institutions are trying to jointly overcome this problem. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and its Standards Association have been working with the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), National Institutes of Health, as well as universities and businesses among other stakeholders since 2016, to address the security and interoperability issue of connected health.

As the Internet of Bodies spreads into every aspect of our existence, we are facing a range of new challenges. But we also have an unprecedented chance to improve our health and well-being, and save countless lives. During the COVID-19 crisis, using this opportunity and finding solutions to the challenges is a more urgent task than ever. This relies on government agencies and legislative bodies working with the private sector and civil society to create a robust governance framework, and to include inferences in the realm of data protection. Devising technological and regulatory standards for interoperability and security would also be crucial to unleashing the power of the newly available data. The key is to collaborate across borders and sectors to fully realize the enormous benefits of this rapidly advancing technology.
