2SECURITY CHALLENGES IN EMERGING NETWORKS
Introduction
This report aims to discuss the security challenges in the emerging networks. A literature
review on the healthcare networks is provided in this report. A discussion regarding the architecture
of network in healthcare is stated. The recent developments in the healthcare networks is discussed
in this report. The importance of security in the networks of healthcare is provided. An analysis of
three present or future potential issues in security in healthcare networks is discussed. A suitable
solution for one of the three potential issues that can help in mitigating the issue is provided. Lastly,
the report concludes with a suitable conclusion for this entire report.
The IOT (Internet of Things) creates smart objects as the major building blocks for the
development of pervasive frameworks that are smart and cyber-physical. IoT affects the healthcare
domain in a very significant way. Economical, social and technological prospects are redesigned in
the modern healthcare with the help of IoT. IoT helps in redesigning several medical applications like
remote monitoring of health, fitness plans, prolonged diseases, and care for the elderly [1].
Literature review
Architecture of healthcare network
The demand of Networking is increasing for the large hospitals and its subsidiaries to create
a more stable and dependable network solutions. A complex digital hospital networking architecture
can be measured as a digital neural network system. Several tasks in a hospital are accomplished in
a clinic with the help of medical information system located in the middle ring, which is integrated to
the exterior neural system in the middle ring. The most commonly uses networking devices in a
healthcare networking architecture are switches, routers, firewalls and servers [2].
Servers: servers are used to setup databases for the data of patients, which can be used by
clients for accessing or inserting data and monitor the developments in the information of the
patients. Active directory setup is the first step involved in configuration of a server. Global
distribution of the necessities of a management in a healthcare organisation is achieved with this
configuration of server. The information structure confined in such system will match any structure
and type of the organisation. Administrative authority allocation and central management system
that is used for network governance is offered by an active directory and thus allowing access to all
the resources stored in local domain. The fundamental component of a server is the database. The
information stored in a healthcare database of the patients ranges from medical history, insurance
plans and personal details [3].
