The year is 2020. More businesses are shifting towards online business trends. This has also given an opportunity to the cybercriminals to penetrate deeper into the consumer’s space and gain illegal access to the data. Digitalisation has brought the world closer through business, particularly mobile apps. However, if there is one thing that is at stake, it is the security of consumers. There is a pile of consumer data, and even the number of the prying eyes isn’t any lesser. When the technology is getting sophisticated, the cybercriminals are turning more creative, thereby increasing the threat of data security.

Healthcare is perhaps the only field after banking and education that produces and analyzes the most data, yet the least integrated with big data analytics. This is both a blessing and a curse. While keeping medical data off shared networks helps maintain its integrity and secures it from attack, it prevents us from gleaning into the cues that could possibly save more lives and lead to better treatment outcomes.
