| | APRIL 20238IN MY OPINIONn 2023, expect to see a rise in privacy-protecting encryption technology, and an expanded use of block chain to protect IoT devices. Imagine a patient is under doctor's orders to use a wearable device. The device monitors the patient's progress and integrates that data with her personal health records. A third-party service monitors the patient's progress and alerts her doctor when necessary. Device data is also integrated into an artificial intelligence model designed to learn from the experience of several patients. Meanwhile, both the device data and the patient's medical records are available to researchers that are developing new treatments. And that, in a nutshell, illustrates some of the bigger challenges for modern-day cybersecurity. There are an increasing number of devices collecting an ever-increasing amount of data. The data is stored in various clouds and analyzed by a number of applications. Each link in the data supply chain presents a new risk of compromise with privacy, health and financial implications. But that data is also valuable because of the insights it can yield; there are real benefits to sharing it with specialized services and experts. Two innovations supporting cybersecurity, blockchain technology and homomorphic encryption, may help protect that data, enabling researchers to rely on it for insights.
