Study Notes

BMT 342: Security and Privacy in IoT/IoMT

  • Lecture 7 Objectives: Understand types of cyberattacks on IoT/IoMT devices, key security measures, and consequences of cyberattacks on IoMT systems.

Introduction

  • Protecting data mined by IoT/IoMT devices is challenging due to its value.
  • IoT/IoMT devices need robust security and privacy measures to prevent cyberattacks and ensure ethical data collection and usage.

Attack Types

  • Replay Attacks: Attackers intercept and retransmit wireless data to gain unauthorized access.
  • Man-in-the-Middle Attacks: Attackers intercept data transmitted between IoT devices, potentially causing harm (e.g., medication errors).
  • Rogue Access Points: Attackers create fake access points to intercept traffic and gain access to sensitive data.
  • Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks: Attackers flood the system with requests, making it unavailable to legitimate users.
  • Malware Attacks: Malicious software (e.g., spyware, worms, viruses) is injected into IoT/IoMT devices and systems, causing significant damage.
  • Tampering Devices: Attackers physically manipulate sensors to disrupt or alter their functionality.

Security and Privacy Measures

  • Authentication and Access Control: Methods like passwords, two-factor authentication, and biometrics verify user and device identities.
  • Encrypting Data: Encrypting data stored and transmitted between IoT devices protects it from unauthorized access.

Security and Privacy Measures (Continued)

  • Regularly Patching and Updating: Regularly patching IoT devices addresses known vulnerabilities to prevent exploits.
  • Enhance Network Security: Protecting networks with firewalls and secure protocols (e.g., TLS).

Security and Privacy Measures (Continued)

  • Adhering to Regulatory Standards: Complying with regulations like GDPR and HIPAA for data privacy and security.
  • Security Incident Response Plan: A plan for handling security breaches, including incident detection, control, and recovery procedures.

Consequences of Cyberattacks on IoMT Systems

  • Poor Patient Outcomes: Delays in tests and procedures can negatively impact patient health.
  • Increased Patient Transfers: Cyberattacks can necessitate transferring patients for care.
  • Increase in Medical Complications: Issues with IoMT systems can lead to medical complications.
  • Longer Hospital Stays: Patients may need longer stays due to IoMT system disruptions.
  • Increase in Mortality Rate: Severe disruptions can lead to higher mortality rates.
