Cloud computing has been massively adopted in healthcare, where it attracts economic, operational, and functional advantages beneficial to insurance providers. However, according to Identity Theft Resource Centre, over twenty-five percent of data breaches in the US targeted healthcare. The HIPAA Journal reported an increase in healthcare data breaches in the US in 2016, exposing over 16 million health records. The growing incidents of cyberattacks in healthcare are compelling insurance providers to implement mitigating controls. Addressing data security and privacy issues before cloud adoption protects from monetary and reputation losses. This article provides an assessment tool for health insurance providers when adopting cloud vendor solutions. The final deliverable is a proposed framework derived from prominent cloud computing and governance sources, such as the Cloud Security Alliance, Cloud Control Matrix (CSA, CCM) v 3.0.1 and COBIT 5 Cloud Assurance.

Quantum Approach

With the advancement of communication and information technology, the internet has become used as a platform for computing and not only a way of communications networks. Accordingly, the large spread of cloud computing led to the emergence of different privacy implications and data security complexities. In order to enhance data security in the cloud, the authors propose in this chapter the use of an encryption box, which includes different cryptosystems. In fact, this step gives the user the opportunities to encrypt data with an unknown algorithm and makes a private key before the storage of data in the host company servers. Moreover, to manage the encryption database, the authors propose a quantum approach in search based on Grover's algorithm.

Privacy Issues

Security and privacy issues are the challenging areas in the field of internet of things (IoT) and fog computing. IoT and fog has become an involving technology allowing major changes in the field of information systems and communication systems. This chapter provides the introduction of IoT and fog technology with a brief explanation of how fog is overcoming the challenges of cloud computing. Thereafter, the authors discuss the different security and privacy issues and its related solutions. Furthermore, they present six different case studies which will help the reader to understand the platform of IoT in fog.
