Security and Vulnerability of Extreme Automation Systems: The IoMT and IoA Case Studies

 
 
 

Abstract


The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and the Internet of Aviation (IoA) are emerging waves of technologies that contributes to establishing-connected systems. It consists of smart devices, such as wearables, sensors technology, smart algorithms, and monitors, strictly for healthcare and aviation uses. It can reduce unnecessary hospital visits and the burden on aviation systems. However, because of increasing demand and its accessibility to high internet speed, IoMT, and IoA has opened doors for serious vulnerabilities to healthcare and aviation systems. The disastrous consequences of these issues will not only disrupt services causing financial losses but will also put the peoples lives at risk. IoMT and IoA pass though a massive wave of digitization change in order to make both industries affordable, safe, and smart. This article sheds light on the security and vulnerability issues of these two technologies and suggests such remedies as echoed by the relevant industries.
