These days, remote healthcare monitoring systems are becoming an

increasingly reliable solution for the delivery of personalized healthcare

services that are also less intrusive and more patient-friendly. Technology
based on the Internet of Things is an essential force behind the
maintenance of a wide variety of capabilities possessed by these systems,
one of which is the accessibility of a vast quantity of different types of
health data. Because of the personal nature of these data, they are regarded
as highly sensitive. As a result, there is a significant risk that security and
privacy threats and attacks will target the vulnerabilities of IoT devices,
network connectivity, data storage, and other areas. This provides a
concise overview of the vulnerabilities that are present in the systems that
have been mentioned previously, as well as a solution that is proposed to
address these vulnerabilities from the beginning of the designing process.
In order to accomplish this goal, a comprehensive analysis of the security
and privacy flaws, fundamental requirements, and preventative measures
that are distinctively associated with each level of the IoT-based
architecture of the RO-Smart Ageing system has been proposed.
HOW REMOTE ACCESS CAPABILITIES OCCURS DATA RISKS
ON HEALTH SECTOR?
1. Misuse of technology from an Unethical or fraudulent
Associate/Contractor: Theft of computer hardware and software,
unauthorized access to computer networks, and improper use of computer
hardware and software are all examples of inappropriate use of
information and communications technology (ICT). Employees may use
their lawful access to computer systems in inappropriate and unauthorized
ways, which is why internal unauthorized access is recognized as being a
key contributor to data breaches. This is because employees might utilize
legitimate access to computer systems. As new technologies become
available and governments collect and store an increasing amount of
information about individuals, the potential for internal misuse of
information and communications technology (ICT) in the public sector
increases. Unskilled or unethical associate/contractor (subject) often uses
external job support to get their job done, which requires the subject to
provide full control of the endpoint remotely. Doing so they expose the
critical organization’s data and information such as source code,
credentials, marketing leads etc., to other individuals (external people)
which not only goes unnoticed by existing endpoint data protection
software but also violates the policies of the organization. PriNIST
protects the data on the screen of the end user from any external source
trying to connect to the endpoint – means, it is protected.
Risks
The personally identifiable information (PII) or confidential data that users
manage on their desktops or laptops when screen sharing technologies are
used. The prevention of illegal disclosure of digital intellectual property
(DIP), which includes things like applications, designs, patterns, and
projects, among other things. This happens when end users circumvent the
existing endpoint protection features and divulge data to unauthorized
individuals using a variety of unmonitored technological ways such as
screensharing. In order to preserve data while simultaneously complying
with ever-evolving worldwide privacy regulations. Preventing information
and business-critical data from being shared on screensharing platforms
and so becoming available to competitors. The amount of time and money
spent investigating possible cases of data loss and fraudulent activity.
2. Certain Zero-day Malware: Accidental web exposure is a subcategory
of specific types of data breaches that can occur when a server or computer
that stores personally identifiable information is connected to the internet
in such a way that employees, management, and even customers can
access the information remotely. This type of data breach is known as
"accidental web exposure." However, a significant number of these
systems do not have adequate security. During any screen sharing session
the data on the screen is clearly visible to all participants. Sometimes a
presenter tries to juggle between applications while actively screensharing,
which can lead to leak of confidential data. PriNIST protects all the
selected applications/software. It prevents any chances of data exposure
from your end point screen.

3. Accidental data exposure while sharing the screen: Trustwave, a
security firm, found that nearly two-thirds of data breaches in the past year
were caused by poor outsourcing decisions. In their haste to reap the
financial benefits of outsourcing, many businesses overlook the potential
security risks involved. To meet budgetary constraints, organizations opt
for external support to manage their critical systems and end points.
However, certain threats do arise such as exposure of critical data to
support personal operating in various countries. For example, when a
support person connects to a desktop or laptop (endpoint) to provide
assistance, they will have access to all opened applications and can
accidentally or intentionally (targeted) view critical data, the biggest threat
is data being seen or captured across the world where various laws operate.
There could be many controls that prevent, but when combined with
effective technical control like PriNIST, the exposure of
sensitive/confidential data is mitigated. PriNIST hides the protected
applications from unwanted viewers.

4. Outsourcing Data Leakage: Espionage is spying on a person,
corporation, government, etc. to obtain secret information or uncover
wrongdoing and pass it to another organization or state. Actors
supported/hired by government or competitor companies pose as
employees or contractors. Such internal threats try to leak information via
screen sharing applications from stealthy channels (web-based screen
sharing application). The current Data Loss Preventions/End Point
Protection tools are unfortunately unable to prevent such scenarios. Their
acts are unnoticed and usually unknown till they are not caught in the act.
This results in the loss a large amount of protected and sensitive
information over the time. PriNIST as an on-screen protection software,
protects your data in such scenarios by hiding the data in protected
applications. The data cannot be shared over screen sharing applications or
captured (screen shot) by the end point.

5. Espionage Scenarios: Theft of intellectual property occurs when an
individual or a business is deprived of their right to an idea, creative
expression, or creation by another person. Theft of intellectual property
(IP) can relate to the unlawful acquisition of patents, copyrights,
trademarks, or trade secrets. This comprises a variety of things, including
as names, innovations, client lists, and logos and emblems. Data
streaming and screen sharing are one of the most commonly preferred
means of presenting projects, models, blueprints, explanations, etc.
without actually having to download or sharing the document or
information to reduce the chances of data leaks. The end user screen can
be recorded by the person on the other end of the network (other
employees, contractors, partners, hackers) and this becomes the cause of
intellectual property and sensitive data leakage. Let it be intentional or
unintentional, from an employee or a contractor, the loss cannot be un-
done. PriNIST protects the data present in the protected applications on the
screen and enables you with tension free screen sharing.

CCPA, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, HITRUST, SOX, GLBA, and others are
supported.
How PriNIST’s solve these problems?
Malware that exploits vulnerabilities that are not known about or defended
against is called "zero-day malware." Because new malware like this is
difficult to identify and even more challenging to defend against, zero-day
attacks pose a significant risk to the cybersecurity of businesses. The world
is uncertain, governments are hiring cyber criminals to develop certain
zero-day malwares specifically designed to steal data from government,
private, public and critical infrastructure companies. Certain zero-day
malware activates when a user opens targeted applications like outlook,
teams, word, excel or any other application they may contain confidential
information and take screenshots, record mini videos and share to the
malicious user via encrypted channels. PriNIST activates its intelligence
and protects the applications from screenshots and video recording, even
though if a malware or a malicious user takes a screenshot, they cannot see
the protected application.
