Cyber Security in Internet of Things-Based Edge Computing

Abstract

With the rapid growth of the internet of things (IoT) and the emergence of edge computing, new opportunities and challenges have arisen in the realm of cyber security. This work presents a comprehensive review of cyber security in IoT-based edge computing, aiming to shed light on the potential risks and vulnerabilities associated with this evolving paradigm. This work begins by highlighting the increasing integration of IoT devices and edge computing, emphasizing their combined potential to revolutionize various industries. However, this integration also introduces new attack surfaces and vulnerabilities, making robust cyber security measures imperative to safeguard critical systems and sensitive data. The work discusses an in-depth analysis of the unique security challenges that arise at the intersection of IoT and edge computing. It explores the vulnerabilities introduced by the distributed nature of edge computing, the resource-constrained nature of IoT devices, and the heterogeneity of the IoT ecosystem.
