In the first part of this blog series, I covered how the healthcare industry can benefit from IoT and Big Data. In this week’s post I’ll take a more in-depth look into the potential security issues associated with Big Data and what the future holds for healthcare IoT.

In fact, it is an inability to see attacks while they are happening… Read more Surveillance in Oslo Government Quarter shows inadequate mindset to issues →
Klarer als Thilo Weichert kann man es kaum ausdrücken, warum es in Europa bei TTIP harzt: “Datenaustausch hat in einer globalisierten Informationsgesellschaft eine zunehmende wirtschaftliche Bedeutung bekommen; diese Bedeutung wird weiter zunehmen. Daher spielt das Ziel des freien Datenflusses zwecks Abbaus von Handelshemmnissen bei internationalen Abkommen schon seit Jahren eine zentrale Rolle. Dabei wurde jedoch immer das weitere Ziel verfolgt, den freien Datenfluss von der Gewährleistung eines angemessenen Datenschutzniveaus abhängig zu machen.
