How to begin Digital Transformation
What is a cyber security company doing talking about digital transformation? Our proposition is that the first step for effective cyber security is to know what assets you have, ideally in as much detail as possible. The same is with digital transformation; the first step for effective digital transformation is to know what you have got.
Hacking Implantable MedTech
In early 2010, at an NHS Hospital in England, I had an Implantable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) installed just under my skin on my chest. The device simply listened to my heart rhythms, recorded anything that it considered to be anomalous, and wirelessly allowed me to trigger it to record if I felt abnormal. I would then go back to the hospital to allow them to download the data, also wirelessly. The device was inside me for about 4 years in total. I have Familial Dilated Cardiomyopathy, a genetic heart condition which means that my left ventricle is larger than the average persons, and the reason for the device being implanted was because the doctors wanted a close long-term look at my heart anomalies. I should add at this point, I am fine, I am looked after very well by the NHS in the UK and, generally, the condition does not affect my day-to-day operations
5G the Enabler and the BYOND Mobile Event
There is no doubt that 5G is a good step forward in wireless communication. It's faster, provides greater redundancy and is (as a technology) relatively well thought through in terms of cyber security of 5G infrastructure. There are also added benefits with the application of private 5G networks.
The increase in speed that 5G provides means that sensors are able to relay data back to a base at much closer to real time, and control and automation can happen with greater reactivity to input.
Applications of 5G are vast, but some of the most exciting applications are in healthcare, smart cities, manufacturing and critical national infrastructure.
