Description & Coverage
Description:

Advances in mobile computing have provided numerous innovations that make people’s daily lives easier and more convenient. However, as technology becomes more ubiquitous, corresponding risks increase as well.

Managing Security Issues and the Hidden Dangers of Wearable Technologies examines the positive and negative ramifications of emerging wearable devices and their potential threats to individuals, as well as organizations. Highlighting socio-ethical issues, policy implementation, and appropriate usage, this book is a pivotal reference source for professionals, policy makers, academics, managers, and students interested in the security and privacy implications of wearable digital devices.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Authenticity
  • Data Storage
  • Ethical Considerations
  • Healthcare Technology
  • Smartwatches
  • Spatial Data
  • Surveillance
Reviews & Statements

Contributors in computer and information sciences discuss positive and negative aspects of emerging wearable technology both conceptually and empirically, along with the implications for society, commerce, government, and individual citizens. Managing the security, privacy, and socio-ethical issues arising from wearable technologies is not simply a technical task, they say, but requires policies at both the organizational and government levels, and genuine societal reflection and debate on ethical norms and appropriate wearable usage.
