Securing the IoT Edge Devices Using Advanced Digital Technologies

Abstract

As the IoT ecosystem continues to grow, edge computing is becoming essential for handling and analyzing the vast amount of data generated by connected devices. Unlike traditional centralized data models, where information is sent to remote centers for processing, edge computing processes data closer to where it is generated. This decentralized approach helps reduce latency, optimizes bandwidth usage, and improves both privacy and security. However, the rise in IoT devices and the spread of edge computing also increase the potential for cyberattacks, demanding more robust security measures. With AI and machine learning being utilized to analyze IoT data, edge computing facilitates this analysis directly at the data source, pointing to a future where AI and ML applications are more prevalent on edge devices.
