DESCRIPTION
Welcome to the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), where digitally connected devices are
encroaching on every aspect of our lives, including our homes, offices, cars and even our bodies.
With the invention of IPv6 and wide deployment of Wi-Fi networks, IoT is growing at a dangerously
fast pace, and researchers estimate that by 2020, the number of active wireless connected devices
will exceed 40 billion. The upside is that we are able to do things we never before imagined. But as
with every good thing, there is a downside to IoT It is becoming an increasingly attractive target
for cybercriminals. More connected devices mean more attack vectors and more possibilities for
hackers to target us unless we move fast to address this rising security concern, we will soon be
facing an inevitable disaster.

Proteus
Proteus Discover consists of an ingestible sensor the size of a grain of sand, a small wearable sensor
patch, an application on a mobile device, and a provider portal. The patient activates Proteus Discover
by taking medication with an ingestible sensor. Once the ingestible sensor reaches the stomach, it
transmits a signal to the patch worn on the torso. A digital record is sent to the patient’s mobile device
and then to the Proteus cloud where, with the patient’s permission, healthcare providers and
caregivers can access it via their portal. The patch also measures and shares patient activity and rest.

“You’re sitting in a queue of 50 cars at an intersection. You can see the traffic lights ahead. They turn
green and you think “Go go go! We can all make it through if we try!” To your horror, four cars make it
through before the lights turn red.”
“What if all the cars on the road could talk to each other, and better yet, talk to the traffic lights
themselves? Completely optimized and efficient traffic lights. Better yet, the greater traffic system could
be talking to all cars on the road everywhere, spreading out traffic via different routes based on

DESCRIPTION
The logistics industry is a key player poised to benefit from the IoT revolution
With millions of shipments being moved, tracked, and stowed by a range of machines, vehicles and
people each day, it is no surprise that logistics and IoT are a perfect match. In logistics, IoT can
connect different assets along a supply chain in a meaningful way, then analyze the data generated
from these connections to capture new insights. By doing so, IoT enables logistics providers to unlock
higher levels of operational efficiency, while creating customized, dynamic, and automated services
for their customers. Falling prices of device components (sensors, actuators and semiconductors),
faster wireless networks, and increasing data crunching capabilities only compound the business
benefits, ensuring that IoT becomes a disruptive trend in the logistics industry over the next decade.

DESCRIPTION
Forrester Research believes that the 2016 DDoS attack that hit a whopping 1600 websites in the United
States was just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the threat that the connected device poses to the
world. The attack confirmed the fear of vulnerability of IoT devices with a massive distributed denial of
service attack that crippled the servers of services like Twitter, Netflix , NYTimes, and PayPal across the
U.S. on October 21st , 2016.
The immense assault involved millions of Internet addresses and malware, according to #Dyn, the
primary victim of that attack. Countless IoT devices that power everyday technology like closed-circuit
cameras and smart-home devices were hijacked by the malware, and used against the servers.
DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION
The adoption of IoT applications in health and fitness is well under way. Based on current usage and
likely growth rates, we project that the economic impact of IoT in human health and wellness could
be $170 billion to nearly $1.6 trillion globally in 2025. The largest source of value would be using IoT
devices to monitor and treat illness ($170 billion to $1.1 trillion per year). Value would arise from
improving quality of life and extending healthy life spans for patients with chronic illnesses, and
reducing cost of treatment. The second-largest source of value for humans would be improved
wellness—using data generated by fitness bands or other wearables to track and modify diet and
exercise routines.

DESCRIPTION
Wearable technology has become a trendy consumer item in advanced economies.
As wearables technology evolves, it is likely to broaden in scope and impact. Beyond simply
measuring activity, inexpensive wearables could measure a broad range of indicators,
for example, blood oxygen, perspiration, blood glucose, and calories consumed. Apps that offer advice
based on user data could also expand to include recommendations for workouts (suggesting specific
exercises) and diet tips based on measured food consumption.

IoT can increase productivity by 10 to 25 percent by improving production efficiency. This would
amount to $633 billion to $1.8 trillion per year in 2025 (including as much as $300 billion per year in
savings on nursing labor in hospitals).37
With IoT, manufacturers can gain a comprehensive view of what is going on at every point in the
production process and make real-time adjustments to maintain an uninterrupted flow of finished
goods and avoid defects. This gives them the ability to view how the end-to-end process is running
and address bottlenecks in real time. It also reduces the risk of human error.

DESCRIPTION
Factory operators also have an opportunity to capture value by improving how they manage
inventory. Inventory ties up capital. Holding too much reduces margins, while holding too little
disrupts production. Using weight or height detection sensors, it is possible to set up condition-based
automatic reordering routines that are far more precise than current rules-based systems, which
estimate when replenishment is needed, rather than relying on actual data. Wurth USA, an auto parts
supplier, has developed an “iBins” system that uses intelligent camera technology to monitor the fill
level of a supply box and wirelessly transmits the data to an inventory management system that
automatically reorders supplies.

DESCRIPTION
Organizations need to remain aware and to prepare themselves to repel hack attacks that originate
within IoT devices. Cyber security insurance will be an important component in providing
compensation for losses incurred in an IoT cyber war. That insurance can help an organization to
recover revenues lost from downtime caused by cyberattacks, and notify and provide identity theft
protection to customers whose information who might have been compromised in an attack.
Both factors are crucial to your company’s success and image in the public sphere.

DESCRIPTION
Manufacturing worldwide is on the cusp of a revolution. New information technologies are suddenly
offering not only to make the management of manufacturing more effective, as we saw with early
versions of plant and enterprise software, but the work itself smarter. Technologies based on the
Internet of Things have the potential to radically improve visibility in manufacturing to the point
where each unit of production can be “seen” at each step in the production process. Batch-level
visibility is being replaced by unit-level visibility. This is the dawn of smart manufacturing.

By 2020, there will be anywhere from 20 billion to 50 billion internet-connected devices, including
about one in five cars and or trucks, according to industry forecasts. That’s big business for outfits that
sell data or streaming services. For the Justice Department, it’s 50 billion potential problems.
Assistant AG Carlin framed the issue as directly related to next-generation terrorism. “Look at the
terrorist attack in Nice,” he said. “If our trucks are running in an automated fashion — great
efficiencies, great safety, on the one hand — but if we don’t think about how terrorists could exploit
that on the front end, and not after they take a truck and run it through a crowd of civilians, we’ll
regret it.”

DESCRIPTION
The IoT and big data are clearly intimately connected billions of internet-connected 'things' will, by
definition, generate massive amounts of data. However, that in itself will not usher in another
industrial revolution, transform day-to-day digital living, or deliver a planet-saving early warning
system. As EMC and IDC point out in their latest Digital Universe report, organizations need to hone in
on high-value, 'target-rich' data that is (1) easy to access (2) available in real time (3) has a large
footprint (affecting major parts of the organization or its customer base) and/or (4) can effect
meaningful change, given the appropriate analysis and follow-up action.
Without each other, both would be a lot less powerful.
