Cyber ​​threats on devices and networks of the internet of medical things

Abstract

In recent years, the Internet of Things has had considerable growth, due to the number of devices that are currently connected to the internet; these devices use microprocessor-based controllers with applications, obtaining "smart" utensils, which can be from toasters to complex transports such as airplanes, managing to notice its importance in various areas of the industry. However, this research focuses only on the health sector of the industry, since it has been the slowest in adopting the internet of things technologies, compared to other industries. This technology used in the health sector is called the Internet of Medica! Things (IoMT), which is responsible for linking "smart" devices for monitoring patients who must be in constant observation. This technology is prepared to transform the way you keep people safe and healthy. It is worth mentioning that the Internet of Medica! Things can help monitor, notify and inform, not only doctors or caregivers, but also medica! care providers, with real data to identify problems before they become critica!, or to anticipate an intervention. It is worth mentioning that this industry has not only been slow to adopt the technology of the Internet of Things, it has also shown a deficiency in the security of the information obtained through its devices, this because severa! firms dedicated to the manufacture of these devices have given few to no security measures. That said, this research reveals sorne of the points of the importance of the Internet of Medica! Things, as well as the consequences due to the lack of security in this sector.
