Edge-driven cyber defense: integrating edge computing into the CKC
As cyber threats grow more sophisticated and pervasive, organizations must adapt their defenses beyond traditional network perimeters. One of the most promising developments in this area is the integration of edge computing into cybersecurity strategies. By moving computation and analysis closer to the data source—be it a sensor, industrial controller, or endpoint device—edge computing enables faster detection, quicker decision-making, and more agile responses. In the context of the CKC, this localized processing power can disrupt adversaries at every stage, from their earliest reconnaissance efforts through to their end goals. When thoughtfully implemented, edge computing allows defenders to identify anomalies, block malware, sever unauthorized communications, and thwart data exfiltration attempts before they cause serious damage.
This section explores how edge computing intersects with the CKC, examining...
