Multi-level Security Threats Projection in Edge Computing

In the present world, almost all devices are connected over the Internet. This research paper highlights the advantages of edge computing, such as reduced data transmission, improved security and privacy, and increased application dependability. However, it also explores the risks and vulnerabilities associated with edge cybersecurity, including compromised centrally stored data, password policies in edge devices, and challenges in tracking and monitoring IoT traffic and analyzing various attacks like password attack, MITM attack, malware injection, etc. The paper also presents a statistical representation of a survey conducted in various sectors, highlighting the importance of security for edge computing use cases. It also reviews the existing literature on edge computing security, discussing topics such as data security and privacy, cryptography-based techniques, CDN, RTEM systems, Multi-Access EC and security measures in IoT. There is a statistical comparison of the proposed model and how it can have an edge over other techniques or systems. This paper then, concludes by emphasizing the importance of maintaining strong security measures in edge computing and the selection of model can depend upon the individual or company based on their requirements.
