A collaborative and adaptive cyber défense strategic assessment for healthcare networks using edge computing

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a massive network connecting various devices and computer systems. This technology makes prototyping and distributing cutting-edge software and services easier. Through specifically created healthcare networks, the IoT makes it simple to link digital and tangible devices. Disputes continue to arise in the industry due to the absence of uniformity and the rapid growth of products, services, and methods. This study seeks to provide a birds-eye perspective of the technologies and protocols that support the IoT’s foundation. We start by introducing an elaborate process to examine the function of healthcare networks in creating and disseminating IoT-based software and some solutions to the current problems. We then discuss and formulate future challenges and the unanswered concerns surrounding the IoT’s support for healthcare networks. The primary focus of this research is to dissect the IoT, or horizontal network, into its constituent parts. These elements are essential for creating secure and robust mobile applications. •Internet of Things (IoT) technique makes prototyping and distributing cutting-edge software and services easier.•It is easier to link digital and tangible devices through specifically created healthcare networks using the IoT.•The function of healthcare networks in creating and disseminating IoT-based software is examined.•This research dissects the IoT or horizontal network into constituent parts.
