Cybersecurity Defensive Walls in Edge Computing

by Agbotiname Lucky Imoize PhD (Editor), Mohammad S. Obaidat PhD (Editor), Houbing Herbert Song PhD (Editor), Fatos Xhafa PhD (Editor)

Overview

Cybersecurity Defensive Walls in Edge Computing dives into the creation of robust cybersecurity defenses for increasingly vulnerable edge devices. This book examines the unique security challenges of edge environments, including limited resources and potentially untrusted networks, providing fundamental concepts for real-time vulnerability detection and mitigation through novel system architectures, experimental frameworks, and AI/ML techniques. Researchers and industry professionals working in cybersecurity, edge computing, cloud computing, defensive technologies, and threat intelligence will find this to be a valuable resource that illuminates critical aspects of edge-based security to advance theoretical analysis, system design, and practical implementation of defensive walls. With a focus on fast-growing edge application scenarios, this book offers valuable insights into strengthening real-time security for the proliferation of interconnected edge devices.
