Internet of Things (IoT)

Hi All,

ENISA recently published Fog And Edge Computing In 5G Security opportunities and challenges.

This report focuses on the fundamentals of fog and edge, an overview of their security aspects, the open challenges that these sectors face, the related standardization efforts, the existing opportunities in this field, and different application scenarios. Fog and edge computing have become key enablers in the 5G ecosystem, creating new opportunities and novel applications, but also multi-modal security challenges, that the telco, cloud, and industrial communities address from different perspectives.

Thanks for sharing, Michael.  This report provides at the very least an excellent overview of the IOT edge compute requirements.  It is clear that this is where existing security concepts are seriously challenged.  The need to lock down the fog in a 5G context means that we have to think about reducing latency while decreasing the surface area being exposed for potential attacks.  Well worth a read, and  a starting point for serious technical discussions.   Best Nya.
